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
Prokaryotes lack
Nucleus
Cells that have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic
Capsule
A “magic cloak”. Protects bacterial cells from ingestion and destruction of white blood cells
Flagellum
Long whiplike structure by which some tiny plants and animals move
Plastid, pilus, plasmid
1-double membrane organelles which are found in plant and algae cells
2-attach bacterial cells to specific surfaces of other cells
3-small circular dna molecule found in bacteria and some other microscopic organisms
Vesicle
Small sac/cryst that contains fluid/gas
Centriole
2 tiny structures located in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope
Chromosome
Found in the nuclei of cells and allows dna to be copied accurately during mitosis
Centrosomes
Cellular structure involved in the process of mitosis
