Unit 3 Flashcards
Provides structure and support for the cells of plant cells
Cell wall
Contains genetic information
Nucleus
Transportation system between cytoplasm and nucleus
ER
Rough ER
ribosomes make proteins for the cell membrane use and secreting
Smooth ER
Doesn’t have ribosomes. Is used for storage and making lipids, phospholipids, and cholesterol for the cell membrane
Material between nucleus and cell membrane mostly composed of water
Cytoplasm
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Site of photosynthesis and absorbs light energy
Chloroplast
Has digestive enzymes and breaks down old materials
Lysosome
Cellular framework made of microtubules and micro filaments knows as the “highway” for cells
Cytoskeleton
Large storage structures in plant cells
Vacuoles
Surrounds a cell and regulates what enters and leaves the cell known as the “gatekeeper”
Cell membrane
Stores and packages chemicals
Golgi bodies/golgi apparatus
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosome
Only prokaryote
Bacteria
