| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| phospholipid bilayer | double layer of cell membrane? |
| chromosome | structures in the nucleus made of DNA and protein. |
| nuclear envelope | the nucleus is surronded by thos double mebrane, two phospholipid bilayers |
| nucleous | the site where DNA is concentrated when it is in the process of making ribosomal RNA |
| ribosome | organells made of protein and RNA that direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm |
| mitochondrion | tiny organelles that transfer energry from organic molecules to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) |
| endoplasmic reticulum | (ER) a system of memnranous tubes and sacs- functions as a highway where molecules move from one cell to another- two types: rough or smooth ER |
| Golgi apparatus | system of flattened, mebranepous sacs (mailroom)? |
| lysosome | vesticles that bud from the Golgi apparatus and that contain digestive enzymes. |
| cytoskeleton | network of thin tubes and filaments that give shape to the cell |
| microtubule | hollow tubes made of a protein called tubulin- they hold organelles in place, maintain a cells shape and act as tracks that guide organelles and molecules as they move within the cell |
| microfilament | long threads of the beadlike protein actin and are linked end to end and wrapped around each other like two strands of rope- ontribute to cell movement |
| cilium | hairlike structure that extend from the surface of the cell where they assist in movement- short and are preszent in large numbers on certain cells |
| flagellum | hairlike structure that extend from the surface of the cell where they assist in movement- longer and are far less numerous on the cells |
| centriole | consist of two short cylinders of microtubes at right angles to each other and are situated in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope |
