Cells And Cell Structures Flashcards
Eukaryote
Complex large and contain a nucleus in lots of organelles. all protist fungi am plants animals are made up of the cell
Nucleus
This is the control center of the cell contains the cells DNA and controls the cells metabolism in homeostasis
Mitochondria
This is the PowerPlate of the sell the cells energy supply (ATP) made made via cell respiration
Ribosomes
These are the sites of protein synthesis for the cell
Golgi apparatus
This is the post office of the cell. It packages and exports materials in and around the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
There are two kinds smooth and rough. Both help to move things around the cell. they work like a system of roads in the cell
Lysosomes
These are the garbage cans of the cell. they break down waste
Chloroplast
This is found in plants and is the site of photosynthesis
Cell wall
This is a rigid layer found on the outside of plant cells. It gives plant cells their unique rectangle or shape
Cell membrane
This surrounds the cell. it maintains homeostasis by controlling what can enter and leave the cell
Prokaryotes
Simple small and lack a nucleus. the only example of this is bacteria
