what the nucleus is surrounded by

34
Q

Nuclear envelope has pores made of _____, selectively permeable

A

lipoproteins

35
Q

Nuclear pores

A

allows material to move into and out

36
Q

Chromosomes

A

contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next (chromatin)

37
Q

Nucleolus

A

where the assembly of ribosomes begins. makes rRNA and tRNA

38
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Sorts, chemically alters, modifies, and packages important molecules made from the E.R. . accepts and releases incoming vesicles from the E.R. materials are either stored in the cell or secreted outside the cell. stack of closely apposed membranes

39
Q

Chloroplasts

A

capture energy from sunlight and convert it into food energy that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis (has too membranes and contains chlorophyll)

40
Q

Mitochondria

A

Power plant of the cell that converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use; does cellular respiration ; Has an inner and outer membrane, found in cytosol

41
Q

Vacuoles

A

store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
plants - have a single, central vacuole
animal/unicellular - contractile vacuoles and vesicles
freshwater organisms have contractile vacuole

42
Q

Lysosomes

A

small organelles filled with enzymes that remove “junk” that might otherwise accumulate/clutter the cell, breakdown lipids, carbohydrates and proteins, and breaking down organelles that have outlived their usefulness

43
Q

Centrioles

A

play an important role in cell division (make new cells) ; found in cells of animals and most protists

44
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

give their shape and internal organization by filaments. Support structure and transportation; transport materials within a cell, move entire cells

45
Q

Microfilament

A

threadlike structures and support the cell, allow cell movement (small)

46
Q

microtubules

A

maintain cell shape, movement within a cell, form centrioles (large)

47
Q

Centrioles

A

help cell division

48
Q

Microfilaments and microtubules are two of the principal protein filaments that make up the _____.

A

cytoskeleton

49
