| organelles | small specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions. |
| what are two main cell types? | Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
| prokaryotes | cells with no membrane |
| eukaryotes | cells that contain membrane bound organelles |
| nucleus | controls the center for the cell. found in animal, plant, and bacterial cells |
| chromatin | strands of DNA located in the nucleus. found in the nucleus |
| nuclear envelope | seperates the nucleus from the cytoplasm |
| Golgi apparatus | |
| what is the double layered membrane found in plant and animal cells? | Nuclear envelope |
| nuclear pores | holes in the nuclear membrane. allow substances to pass through. found in animal and plant cells |
| nucleolus | makes ribosomes. found in animal and plant cells |
| clear, gelatinous fluid in cells? | Cytoplasm |
| Cytoplasm | suspends organelles, found in animal, plant, and bacterial cells |
| what makes protiens? | ribosomes |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | attaches to the nuclear membrane, transporting materials within the cell |
| 2 types of ER? | Rough ER , Smooth ER |
| Rough ER | has ribosomes, involved in the synthesis of protein |
| Smooth ER | no ribosomes, breaks down waste and poison |
| Golgi apparatus | modifies materials then packages and secrets them. found in plant and animal cells |
| what are the packages in the Golgi apparatus? | vesicles |
| vacuoles | temporarily stores food, enzymes, etc. found in animal and plant cells. |
| lysosomes | digests worn out organelles, food, and engulfs viruses and bacteria. |
| what cells are lysosomes found in? | plant and animal |
| another name for lysosomes | suicide sacs |
| mitochondria | transfers energy from food sources |
| what is the power house for animal cells? | mitochondria |
| Chloroplast | captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy. found in plant cells |
| green pigment found in chloroplast. | chlorophyll |
| plastid | membrane bound organelle that contains pigments |
| chloroplast is a type of ? | plastid |
| what makes up the cytoskeleton? | microtubules and microfilaments |
| cytoskeleton | supports the cell. found in animal and plant cells. cellular frame work composed of microtubules and microfilaments |
| thin, hollow cylinder made of proteins | Microtubules |
| what maintains the shape of the cell? | Microtubules |
| Microtubules | are found in animal and plant cells. serves as tracts on which the organelles move |
| small, thin, solid proteins | Microfilaments |
| Microfilaments | anchor and support organelles, found in animal and plant cells |
