Eukaryotic Cell Structure Flashcards
Cell Wall:
rigid wall outside plasma membrane
giving extra support – not found in
animal cells
Cytoskeleton:
network of protein filaments that
help cell keep its shape and helps with movement of protein filaments called microtubules or microfilaments
Nucleus:
directs activity of cells organelles
Mitochondria:
transform chemical energy from
food into useful energy for both
Chromosomes:
condensed chromatin that contains
genetic information passed on to
offspring
Golgi Apparatus:
sorts and packages proteins and materials into structures called vesicles then “shipped” out
Lysosomes:
remove wastes using digestive enzymes
Chloroplasts:
found in green plant cells and some protists capturing sun energy and
converting it to chemical energy
Endoplasmic Reticulum:
A Site where lipids for membrane are assembled along with proteins-two types: rough and smooth
