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
Thylakoid membrane
internal membranes inside the chloroplast
plasmodesmata
cytoplasmic connections helps connect adjacent cells
stomata
dumbell shaped pairs of cells regulate the opening and closing of small pores in the leaf
striation
layers in starch grains
plasma membrane
selectively permeable membrane that seperates a cells contents rom surronding environments and regulates passage of substances
iodine potassium iodide (IKI)
turns from brown to black in presence of starch
photosynthesis
process which uses light energy to synthesize sugars from carbon dioxide and water while releasing oxygen as by product
rough ER
part of ER studded with ribosomes that play key role in initial synthesis and sorts protein for export
smooth ER
no ribosomes synthesis of lipids that become part part of cell membrane
pseudopodia
temporary cellular extensions produced by amoeba and related genera which allow organisms to move and feed
phagocytosis
cellular process that involves engulfing food particles into the cell’s cytoplasm
osmoregulation
control of water and ion balance within a cell or organism
vesicle
small membrane bound organelle found in eukaryotes cell may contain vacuoles for storage
