Cells Parts Flashcards
Lysosomes
Breakdown macromolecules, waste so it can be recycled.
Is only in animal cells
Vacuole
Storage
Found in both animals and plant cells
Central vacuole
Water storage (80% of inside of a plant cell) and space filling for turgor pressure.
Turgor pressure: water pressure that fills the cell wall
(Only plants have a central vacuole).
Vesicle
Transports material inside the cell ( like protein from the ER to Golgi)
In animal and plant cells
Mitochondria
ATP synthesis
In both animal and plant cells
Chloroplast
Sugar synthesis for plant makes glucose
Only in plant cells
Flagella
Movement of bacteria
In animal and prokaryotic cells.
Cilia
Movement of water
Only found in eukaryotes cells. Moves a cell or moves small particles or fluid along the surface.
Pili
In a bacteria cell prokaryote that bacteria attaches to other cells
Peroxisome
Breakdown of fatty acid or in other words oxidizes. Catalyst the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Is found in animal and plant cells.
Amylopast
Starch storage in roots.
Found only in plants
Plasma membrane
Hold contents in inside cell, controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Found in all animal, plants and prokaryotes.
Cytosol
Allows for movement of organelles, proteins, ions. It is the fluid that fills inside of the cell
Found in animal, plants and prokaryotic cells
Cell nucleus
Contains the genetic material (DNA) and nucleus.
Found only in plant and animal cells.
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
