Part 2: Parts of the Cell Flashcards
Some cells can survive with no nucleus
true
plants have organelles that animals do not
true
organelles can stop functioning and be digested inside of the cell
true
cells have a delicate skeleton of fibers
true
organelles are replicated before a cell divides
true
main parts of the cell
- cell membrane
- nucleus
- cytoplasm
protoplasm
everything included in the cell membrane
divided into nucleoplasm and cytoplasm
protoplasm
a thin, double layer of protein and lipids
plasma membrane
is considered as the security guard
plasma mebrane/cell membrane
it separates cells from external environment
cell membrane
a double membrane-bound spherical body
nucleus
brain of the cell
nucleus
controls and regulates the cell activities
nucleus
stores’ the cell’s DNA found coiled in chromosomes
nucleus
cytosol and cell organelle
cytoplasm
also called groundplasm or cytoplasmic matrix
cytosol
liquid part of the cytoplasm
cytosol
provides structure to the cell
cytoplasm
site of metabolic reactions
cytoplasm
literally means “little organs”
organelles
specialized structures found within the cell which performs specific vital to cellular life
organelles
a rigid membrane
cell wall
provides protection, support and structure
cell wall
found inside the nucleus
nucleolus
produces and assembles ribosomes
nucleolus
a large complex of protein and RNA
ribosomes
site of protein synthesis
ribosomes
called as the protein factory
ribosomes
can be consider as the classroom
ribosomes
powerhouse
mitochondria
double-membraned, rod-shaped organelle
mitochondria
has its own DNA
mitochondria
produces chemical energy in the form of ATP
mitochondria
a series of interconnected membranous sacs and tubules
endoplasmic reticulum
there are two types of er
- rough er
- smooth er
subway system
endoplasmic reticulum
with ribosomes attaced to its surface
rough er
modifies proteins synthesized by ribosomes and makes phospholipids for cellular membranes
rough er
no attached ribosomes
smooth er
production of carbohydrates, lipids, and steroids
smooth er
detoxification of drugs and toxins
smooth er
storage of calcium ions
smooth er
a series of flattened, sac-like membranes that resembles a stack of pancakes
golgi body
mail man of the cell
golgi body
garbage collector
lysosome
sort, tag, package and distribute lipids and proteins
golgi body
a long disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll
chloroplhast
breaks down worn-out or damaged organelles
lysosomes
site for photosynthesis
chloroplast
