GENERAL BIOLOGY Flashcards
Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
Supports & protects cells
Cell wall
Control center of the cell
Nucleus
Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Acts as skeleton and muscle. Provides shape and structure. Helps move organelles around the cell
Cytoskeleton
movement of the cytoskeleton
microtubules
Shape for cytoskeletal
Actin filaments
Structural support
Intermidiate
Made of DNA.
Contain instructions for traits & characteristics.
Chromosomes
Inside nucleus
Contains RNA to build protein
Nucleolus
Jelly like substance
Cytoplasm
serves as the packaging factories of the cell.
golgi complex
Moves materials around in cell. serve as channels through which materials are transported in the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Make proteins
Ribosomes
is the powerhouse of the cell. It converts food molecules into energy.
Mitochondria
are spherical sacs that contain powerful digestive enzymes.
lysosomes
Contains green chlorophyll.
Where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
for the storage of food.
Vacuoles
are energy converters.
plastids
carry substances in and out of the cell like food particles.
vesicles
Aids in cell division.
Usually found only in animal cells.
Made of microtubules
Centriole
provide support and movement to the cell.
microtubules
The study of cells.
Cytology
Dentrites receive and send chemical messages.
Nerve cells
They build the bone.
Osteoblast
This is the bone cover.
Osteocyte
Make white blood cells and Repair bone.
Osteoclasts
is to carry oxygen and food to the body tissues
Red blood cell
Kill bacteria, fungi and foreign debris
Neutrophils
Clean up damaged cells
Monocytes
Kill parasites, cancer cells and involved in allergic response
Eosinophils
Help fight viruses and make antibodies
Lymphocytes
Involved in allergic response
Basophils
They are used to move our bones and pump the blood in our bodies.
Skeletal muscle
found in the digestive, blood vessels, the stomach, found in the skin.
Smooth muscle
makes up the heart. It runs on its own rhythm.
Cardiac muscle
found on bones.
skeletal muscle
It covers the neurons, and some organs. The body stores fat for food.
It covers the neurons, and some organs. The body stores fat for food.
Adipose
Found mainly with Skeleton muscle and Respiratory tracts.
Cartilage
most flexible
elastic cartilage
2nd most elastic
hyaline cartilage
least flexible
fibro-cartilage
