Parts Of A Cell Flashcards
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 he cell’s heretic material in fork of Dan and controls many of the cell’s activities.
Organelles
Tiny organs of the cell
Ribosomes
Small grain shaped organelles that produce proteins
Cytoplasm
Fills the region between the cell me,brave and the nucleus.
Mitochondria
.Rod-shaped organelles that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
.An organelle that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.
Golgi Apparatus
An organelle in a cell that receives proteins 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 contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones and that can be used by the rest of the cell.
Cell wall
A rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells d plants and so,e other organisms.
