Mod 1 Quiz 3: Cells Flashcards
Cell Theory
- All organisms are made up of 1 or more cells
- Cells are the units of structure and function in organisms
- All cells come from other cells
Cell Membrane
Regulates entry and exits of substances into the cell
Cell Wall
- protects from physical damage
- provides structure
Chloroplasts
Produces energy through photosynthesis
Cilia
move substances past the cell, help the cell itself move
Cytoplasm
Gel-like fluid where organelles operate and chemical reactions happen
Cytoskeleton
Helps maintain cell’s shape + organization
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Makes protein and lipid molecules
- Rough ER - Makes Proteins
- Smooth ER - Makes Lipids
Flagellum
Aids in cell movement by spinning
Golgi Apparatus
- Alters proteins and lipids
- Directs materials to correct location
Large Central Vacuole
maintains steady turgor pressure within the cell (Pressure that the contents on the cell put on the cell wall)
Lysosome
digests or breaks down things for the cell
Mitochondria
Provides energy for the cell through cellular respiration
Nucleus
contains genetic material (DNA) of the cell
Ribosome
Site of protein synthesis
