Parts of a Cell quiz Flashcards
Cell Wall
A flexible barrier that provides support and protects the plant cell
Cell Wall Examples
-Plant cells
-Fungi cells
-some prokaryotes
Centrioles
Organelles that occur in pairs and are important for cell division
Centrioles Example
-Animal Cell
-Most protist cells
Chloroplast
A double-membrane organelle where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast Examples
-Plant cells
Some protist cells
Cilia
hair like structures on the surface of cells often used to sweep substances along surfaces.
Cilia Examples
-Some animal cells
-Protist cells
-Prokaryotes
Cytoskeleton
A framework for the cell within the Cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton Examples
-All eukaryotic cells
Endoplasmic reticulum
A highly folded membrane that it the site of a protein synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulum Examples
-All eukaryotic cells
Fagella
Projections that aid in locomotion and feeding
Flagella Examples
-some animal cells
-prokaryotes
-some plant cells
Golgi apparatus
A flattened stack of tubular membranes that modifies protein and package them for distribution outside of the cell
Golgi appparatus Examples
-all eukaryotic cells
Lysosomes
A vesicle contains with digestive enzymes that breakdown excess or worn out cellular substances
Lysosomes Examples
-All animals cells
-rare in plant cells
Mitochondrion
A membrane bound organelle that makes energy available for the rest of the cell.
Mitochondrion Examples
-All eukaryotic cells
Nucleus
The control center of a cell that contains coded messages for the production of protein and cell division.
Nucleus Examples
-all eukaryotic cells
Plasma membrane
A flexible boundary that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell
Plasma membrane example
-All cells
Ribosome
An organelle that is the site of protein synthesis
Ribosome Examples
-All cells
Vacuole
A membrane bound vesicle for the temporary storage of materials
Vacuole Example
-Plant cells:one large
-Rarely animal cells- a few small
