Da Cells Flashcards
Lysosomes
an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
Mitochordrian
biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
Golgi Apparatus
a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
Smooth ER
network of cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials.
Ribosomes
a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins.
Nucleus
the central and most important part of an object, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
Nuclear pore
Nuclear pores are large protein complexes that cross the nuclear envelope,
Nuclear envelope
The double-layered membrane enclosing the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
Pili
Short, filamentous projections on a bacterial cell, used not for motility but for adhering to other bacterial cell or to animal cells.
Flagellum
a slender threadlike structure, esp. a microscopic whiplike appendage that enables many protozoa, bacteria,
DNA
a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. Carries genetic information.
Cell Wall
a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria.
Cell Membrane
Two membranes surrounding an organelle.
Polar
Water loving
Non-polar
Water fearing
