week 2 Flashcards
cell wall
rigid outside layer of material surromding plasma ,membrane
central vacuole
membrane bound organelle in plant cells that functions in storage of water, enzymes, ions, proteins, pigments, and toxins provides support to cell with turgor pressure
cytoplasm
all parts of the cell that surrond the central nuclear or nucleiod region
mitochondria
organelle that carries out cellular respiration and supplies most of cell’s ATP
cellular respiration
a process that generates energy rich molecules called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from sugars
Golgi apparatus
organelle made up of flattened membrane bound compartments that modify, store, ship products of endoplasmic reticulum
chloroplast
a chlorophyll containning organelle where photosynthesis occurs; found only in plants and algae
chromoplast
plastid that contains pigments (carotenoids) giving colouration to flowers and fruits making them attractive to animals for pollution and seed dispersal respectively
Lysosome
small membrane bound that contains hydrolytic enzymes that digest a cells food and waste
plastid
family of plant organelles
cytoskeleton
network of protein filaments in the cytoplasm within a cell; includes microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments(actin filaments)
food vacuole
vacuole presentn in animal like protists and some cells of multicellular animals; contains food particles engulfed by cell
contractile vacuole
a membrane bound organelle involved in osmoregulation in animal like protists
chlorophyll
green pigment
carotenoid
pigemnst of red, yellow, orange and dark purple
