Unit 3- Cell Structure Flashcards
Centriole
Structure that organizes motion of chromosomes.
Golgi apparatus
Stack of membranes that packages chemicals.
Nuclear membrane
Membrane that protects the nucleus
Cell membrane
Membrane that protects the nucleus.
Lysosome
Sac filled with digestive chemicals.
Mitochondria in an animal cell
Structures that convert nutrients to energy.
Endoplasmic Reticular
Passageways where chemicals are made.
Cytoplasm
A jelly-like substance within the cell.
Nucleus
A structure that manufactures ribosomes.
Vesicle
Package created by the Golgi apparatus.
Ribosomes
Small structure that synthesizes proteins.
Vacuole
Sac that stores, water, and nutrients or waste products.
Cytoskeleton
Tubules and filaments that gives the cell its shape.
What happens inside the mitochondria?
Sugars break down into water or oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
How does the cell makes proteins inside the ribosome?
They translate RNA into amino acids and get created into a long chain. It folds into a complex shape forming protein.
Vesicle
Are pulled along the cytoskeleton by a protein called kinesin, kinesin walks along microtubules
What structures are present in an animal cell but not in a plant cell?
Centroile
What structures are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
Cell wall
Plastid
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts
Converts sunlight into chemical energy. Also stores foods or pigment.
The cell membrane, the cell wall, and the vacuole do what?
They support the plant cell and help maintain its shape
Mitochondria in a plant cell
They convert food, also known as sugars into energy.
