Chapter 22- Cells Flashcards
Smooth E.R
Complex network that transports materials throughout the cell, stores enzymes and chemicals
Nucleus
The organelle that controls the cells activities and contains the DNA
Lysosomes
Contains digestive enzymes, helps the cell to commit suicide
Vacuoles
Storage sacks for water, salts, proteins, carbohydrates, food or waste
Plastids
Plant organelle involved in storage of food or pigment. Leucoplast stores starch. Chromoplast stores pigment.
Cytoskeleton
Frame work of the cell provides structural strength and cause cellular movement
Mitochondria
Transforms the chemical energy stored in food molecules into energy the cell can use
Golgi apparatus
Modifies or packages proteins for export from the cell
Nucleolus
Cell structure made of RNA and proteins, it makes ribosomes
Ribosomes
Organelle in which proteins are made also enzymes
Cytoplasm
Supports the cells organelles. Stores some cellular materials
Chloroplast
Organelle that converts sunlight energy, carbon dioxide and water into high energy sugar molecules
Nuclear envelope
Phospholipid bilayered membrane protecting the nucleus
Rough E.E
Complex network that transports materials throughout the cell. Holds many ribosomes
Chromosomes
Threadlike structure in a cell that contains the genetic information coded in DNA
