| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| phospholipid bilayer | a double layer of phospholipids that makes up plasmaand organelle membranes |
| chomosome | in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up DNA and protien |
| nuclear envelope | the double membrane that surrounds the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell |
| nucleolus | the part of an eukaryotic nucleus where ribosomal RNA is synthesized |
| ribosome | a cell organelle composed of RNA and protein |
| mitochondrion | in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration, which produces APT |
| endoplasmic reticulum | a system of membranes that is found in cell's cytoplasm and that assists the production, processing, and transporting of proteins and in the production of lipids |
| Golgi apparatus | a system of flattened, membranous sacs |
| lysosome | a cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes and that buds from the Golgi apparatus |
| cytoskeleton | the cytoplasmic network of protein filaments and tubes that plays an essentail role in cell movement, shape, and division |
| microtubule | one of the small, tubular fibers composed of the protein tubulin that are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, and that compose the cytoskeleton, and that play a role in cell structure and movement |
| microfilament | a fiber found inside eukaryotic cells that is composed of mainly of the protein actin and that has a role in cell structure and movement |
| cilium | a hair like structure arranged in tightly packed rows that projects from the surface of some cells |
| flagellum | a long, hair like structure that grows out of a cell and enables the cell to move |
| centriole | an oganelle that is composed of two short microtubules at right angles to each other and that has an active role in mitosis |
