CS: Cells, Tissues, Organs & Systems - CELL PARTS ONLY Flashcards
Centrioles

Duplicate prior to mitosis and produce the spindle apparatus during cell division (mitosis).
Vacuole

Stores nutrients and waste products.
Cytoskeleton

Network of hollow tubes that provides shape and internal organization.
Golgi Apparatus/Body

Sorts, modifies, and sends packages (vesicles) for delivery to other organelles.
Mitochondria

Site where cellular respiration happens.
Lysosome

Site of digestion within the cell.
Cytoplasm/Cytosol

Semi-fluid material surrounding organelles.
Ribosomes

Site where proteins are synthesized (made).
Nucleus

The control centre of the cell containing DNA (genetic information).
Chloroplast

Site where photosynthesis happens.
Cell/Plasma Membrane

The semi-fluid boundary that controls what passes in and out of the cell.
Cell Wall

Provides rigidity to plant cells allowing turgor pressure to develop.
Endoplasmic Reticulum

Compartmentalizes the cytoplasm/cytosol. There are two (2) types: one with ribosomes (rough ER) & one without ribosomes (smooth ER).
