Chapter 4 Flashcards
Nuclear membrane
Membrane that surrounds the nucleus (DNA)
Nucleus
Large structure inside the cell that contains the DNA
Nucleolus
Large dark structure within the nucleus
Ribosomes
Where proteins are assembled
Golgi apparatus (bodies)
Aids in substance synthesis and packages product cells make, in vesicles
Plasma membrane
A protein and lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
Mitochondrion
Produces energy
Cytoskeleton
Gives the cell structure
Peroxisome
Help cells destroy hydrogen peroxide
Lysosome
Contain enzymes that digest things. Used to destroy organisms of unwanted organelles or whole cells
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
A transportation inside the cell, contains ribosomes on its surface
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
A transportation inside the cell, without ribosomes
Centriole (animal)
Helps with cell division
Chloroplast (plants, some protists)
Where photosynthesis occurs
Cell wall (plants, fungi)
Provides structure for the plant
Flagella
Long whiplike tail used for movement
Cilia
Short hairlike structures that move things
Permeable
Allows things to pass through
Impermeable
Won’t allow things to pass through
Semi-permeable
Allows only certain materials to pass
Diffusion
Movement of substances from regions of higher concentration to lower concentration
Osmosis
The movement of water across membranes from higher to lower concentration
Hypertonic
The solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside
Hypotonic
The solute concentration is lower outside than inside
