Chapter 1 Cells: Section 2 Eukaryotic Cells Flashcards
A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell
Cell Wall
a cell organelle composed of RNA and protein; the site of protein synthesis and are the smallest of all organelles
Ribosome
a system of membranes that is found in a cell’s cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids
Endoplastic Reticulum
is the organelle in which sugar is broken down to produce energy
Mitochondrion
packages and distributes proteins
Golgi Complex
is a small sac that surrounds material to be moved into or out of a cell
Vesticle
are organelles that contain digestive enzymes
Lysosome
is a complex sugar that most animals can’t digest
cellulose
Some fungi cell walls are made of this
chitin
is a protective barrier that encloses a cell
cell mebrane
web of proteins in the cytoplasm
cytoskeleton
the organelle that contains the cell’s DNA and is the control center of the cell
nucleus
is where a cell begins to make ribosmes
nucleolus
is any one of about 20 different organic molecules used to make protein
amino acids
is the organelle in which sugar is broken down to make energy
mitochondrion
a group of compounds that do not dissolve in water
lipids
a lipid that contains phosophorus
phospholipid
water fearing
hydrophobic
water loving
hydrophillic
is the process by which plants and algae use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make sugar and oxygen
photosynthesis
traps the energy of sunlight and uses it to make sugar
chlorophyll
a large vesticle
vacuole
the organelle that uses the energy of sunlight to make food
Chloroplast
