Q

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A

A network of interconnected membrane tubes in a eukaryotic cells cytoplasm. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes. Enzymes in bedded in the smooth ER membrane function in the synthesis of certain kinds of molecules, such as lipids

17
Q

Endomembrane system

A

A network of organelles that partitions the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells into functional compartments. Some of the organelles are structural connected to others whereas others are structurally separate but functionally connected by the traffic of vesicles that travels between them

18
Q

Rough ER

A

A network of interconnected membrane sacs in a eukaryotic cells cytoplasm. Rough ER membranes are studded with ribozymes that make membrane proteins and secretory proteins. The rough ER constructs membrane from phospholipids and proteins.

19
Q

Golgi apparatus

A

An organelle in the eukaryotic cells consisting of stacks of membranes sacs that modify store and ship products of the endoplasmic reticulum

20
Q

Lysosome

A

A digestive organelle in eukaryotic cells contains enzymes that digest the cells food and wastes

21
Q

Food vacuole

A

A tiny sack in a eukaryotic cells cytoplasm that involves nutrients. Or the simplest type of digestive compartment

22
Q

Vacuoles

A

A membrane enclosed sack, part of the Indo membrane system of a eukaryotic cell, having diverse functions

23
Q

Central vacuoles

A

A membrane enclosed sack occupying most of the interior of a mature plant cell having diverse rolls in reproduction growth and development

24
Q

Chloroplasts

A

And organelle found in plants and photosynthesis protists . Enclosed by two concentric remembrance, a chloroplast absorbs sunlight and uses it to power the synthesis of organic food molecules

25
Q

Stoma

A

A poor surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of a leaf when’s stoma are open CO2 enters the leaf and water in 02 exit a plant conserves water when it stoma are closed

26
Q

Grana

A

A stack of hollow disks form the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. Grandma are the sites where light energy is trapped by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy during the light reactions of photosynthesis.

27
Q

Matrix

A

The thick fluid contained within the inter-membrane of the mitochondria

28
Q

Mitochondria

A

And organelle in eukaryotic cells where cellular respiration occurs. Enclosed by to concentric membranes, it is where most of the cells ATP is made.

29
Q

Cristae

A

A fold of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. Enzyme molecules embedded in cristae make ATP

30
Q

Microtubules

A

The thickest of three main kinds of fibers making up the cytoskeleton of a eukaryotic cell: a straight, hollow tube made of globular proteins called tubulins. Microtubules form the basis of the structure and movement of cilia and Flagella

31
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

A meshwork of fine fibers in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell; includes microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules

32
Q

Flagella

A

A long appendage that propels protests through the water and moves fluids across the surface of many tissue cells and animals a cell may have one or more flagella

33
Q

Cilia

A

A short appendage that propels some protists through the water and moves fluids across the surface of many tissue cells in animals

34
Q

Light microscope

A

Visible light is projected through the specimen glass lenses enlarge the image and project it into a human eye or camera
