Cell parts

Parts of a cell

Parts of a celldefinition
DNA Deoxyribose nucleic acid
cytoplasm The substance contained within the plasma membrane of the cell. The region in which translation takes place.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM The area where most proteins and lipids synthesize. A "hallway" between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
ENZYME An organic catalyst.
mRNA type of RNA which transports the information about the sequence of the amino acids in the protein to be manufactured, from the nucleus to the ribosomes
mRNA Messenger RNA
ORGANELLE The membrane bound parts of a cell
RIBOSOME A cellular component composed of proteins and another class of RNA
Nucleus The part of a cell that contains most of the cell's genetic information
tRNA Transfer RNA
Cytoplasm The gellish material of a cell outside the cell's nucleus
ER folded membrane that forms a network of interconnected compartments inside the cell. Because it's folded, it can cover a large area in a small sp
Ribosomes the sites where the cell assembles enzymes and other proteins according to the directions of the DNA.
Golgi apparatus a series of closely stacked, flattened membrane sacs that receives newly synthesized proteins and lipids from the ER and distributes them to the plasma membrane and other cell organelles
Lysosomes organelles that contain digestive enzymes
Lysosomes Organelles that digest excess or worn out cell parts, food particles, and invading viruses or bacteria.
mitochondria organelles in which food molecules are broken down to release energy. This energy is then stored in other molecules that can power cell reactions easily
nucleus largest organelle found in a cell
nucleus the brains of the cell
nucleolus found within the nucleus; a region that produces tiny cell particles that are involved in protein synthesis.
plasma membrane regulates what inters and exits the cell and helps maintain a chemical balance within the cell
Ribosomes They are considered cell organelles, they are not bounded by a membrane
Ribosomes the sites where the cell assembles enzymes and other proteins according to the directions of the DNA
Vacuoles sac of fluid that is surrounded by a membrane; can store food, enzymes, and other materials needed by a cell.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
