Parts Of A Cell Flashcards
Cell wall
A rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms
Cell membrane
A thin, flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of a cell
Nucleus
In cells, a large oval organelle that contains the cells genetic material in the form of DNA and controls many of the cells activities
Organelle
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within a cell
Nuclear envelope
.
Nucleolus
Inner part of the chromatin
Ribosomes
Small grain shaped organelles that produce protiens.
Cytoplasm
Fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
Mitochondria
Convert energy stored in food to energy the cell can use to live and function
Endoplasmic reticulum
An organelle that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of a cell to another
Golgi apparatus
An organelle in a cell that receives and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell
Vacuole
A sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other materials
Chloroplast
An organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells can use in making food
Lysosome
A cell organelle which contain chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones and that can be used by the rest of the cell
Golgi bodies
Carry protein to correct destination after zip code is added
