Cells Flashcards
The smallest unit capable of performing life functions is the…
cell
The two distinct types of cell are?
Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells
Cells with membrane bound organelles and nucleus are considered?
Eukaryotic cells
Cells that are smaller and lack both nucleus and membrane-bound organelles are considered?
Prokaryotic cells
This regulates what enters and leaves the cell, provides protection and support
Cell membrane
This provides support and protection for the plant cell
Cell wall
This coordinates the cell’s activities such as growth, metabolic reactions, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division)
Nucleus
This regulates material entering and leaving the nucleus
Nuclear membrane
This strengthens DNA during mitosis and protects DNA from damage
Chromatin
This stores the cell’s DNA
Nucleus
These are composed of compact complexes of DNA and protein
Chromatin
Condensed _________ fibers are called chromosomes
Chromatin
This contains RNA to build proteins
Cytoplasm
This is the site for most of the chemical activities of the cell
Cytoplasm
This moves materials around the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
This has no ribosomes attached; aids in the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and in detoxification
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
This has attached ribosomes; aids in protein synthesis…
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
This controls level of water and other materials in cell
Mitochondria
This is the site for burning and recycling carbohydrates, fats and proteins
Mitochondria
This is the “protein packaging plant”
Golgi bodies
This transports undigested material to the cell membrane for removal
Lysosome
This is the digestive site for proteins, fats and carbohydrates
Lysosome
Stores materials like water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates
Vacuole
Helps plants maintain shape
Vacuole
Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion and waste removal
Vacuole
Captures energy from sunlight and combines carbon dioxide and water to form glucose in a process called photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Contains the green pigment chlorophyll
Chloroplast
Plays a part in the separation of chromosomes during cell division
Centriole
Network of fibers (microtubules and microfilaments) that hold the cell together
Cytoskeleton
Microtubules are part of centrioles, cilia, and flagella
Cytoskeleton
Microfilaments are involved in cell mobility and muscle contraction
Cytoskeleton
