Cell Organelles
Cell Organelles - Cell Quiz 2
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell wall | found ONLY in PLANT cells; rigid, thick wall that helps to protect and support the plant; gives plant cells their rectangular shape |
| cell membrane | provides support and protection for all cells; controls MOVEMENT of materials INTO AND OUT of the cell; GATEKEEPER |
| nucleus | the CONTROL center of the cell (the BRAIN); contains chromosomes |
| cytoplasm | JELLY-like (GEL-like) substance outside of the cell nucleus in which organelles can be found |
| endoplasmic reticulum | passageways attached to the nucleus that lead to the cell membrane and other organelles; CAN BE ROUGH OR SMOOTH; "transportERs" |
| ribosomes | makes PROTEINS; Small bodies that can be free in a cell or attached to the E.R. |
| mitochondria | makes ENERGY for the cell in the form of ATP. Often called the POWERHOUSE of the cell. |
| vacuole | water-filled sac that STORES materials; only 1 large one in plant cells and several small ones in animal cells |
| Golgi complex (body) | prepares (PACKAGES) materials/waste for export out of the cell |
| lysosome | produced by Golgi Body; aids in DIGESTION; ONLY in ANIMAL cells; garbage collectors |
| chloroplast | organelle found only in plants where PHOTOSYNTHESIS occurs; contains chlorophyll |
| cell | Basic Building block of LIFE |
| mitosis | Process of a CELL DIVIDING; the division of the cell's nucleus; normal process that body cells use to GROW new tissue or REPAIR existing tissue; the DAUGHTER cells are genetically IDENTICAL to each other and to the PARENT cell |
| chromosomes | store GENETIC material. Also remember each cell normally has 23 pairs (for a total of 46). Females have two X's while Males have one X and one Y. |
| cell specialization | Each cell type carries out DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS that are necessary in order for the organism as a whole to survive |
