Cell Structure Chapter 3
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | contains the cellular contents;selects what enters and leaves the cell |
| CILIA | HAIRLIKE PROJECTIONS THAT MOVE SUBSTANCES ACROSS SURFACE SURFACE OF MEMBRANE |
| FLAGELIA | SINGLE LONG HAIR FOR SWIMMING MOVEMENT OF THE SPERM |
| MICROVILLI | ACCORDION-LIKE FOLDS IN THE MEMBRANE; INCREASE TRANSPORT OF WATER AND DISSOLVED SOLUTE |
| NUCLEUS | CONTROL CENTER OF THE CELL; STORES GENETIC INFORMATION |
| CHROMATIN | THREADLIKE STRUCTURE IN THE NON-DIVIDING CELL THAT CONTAIN DNA. CHROMATIN TREADS FROM CHROMOSOMES IN A DIVIDING CELL |
| NUCLEULUS | SYNTHESIZES RNA AND RIBOSOMES |
| NUCLEUOPLASM | GEL IN THE NECLEUS |
| NUCLEAR MEMBRANE | SEPARATES THE NUCLEOPLASM FROM THE CYTOPLASM |
| CYSTOPLASM | GEL LOCATED INSIDE THE CELL BUT OUTSIDE THE NUCLEUS |
| CYTOSOL | MEDIUM COMPOSED OF WATER AND DISSOLVED SOLUTE;ORGANELLES SUSPENDED IN THE CYTOSOL |
| ORGANELLES | TINY ORGANS SUSPENDED IN THE CYTOSOL |
| MITOCHONDRIA | SITE OF ATP PRODUCTION; POWER PLANTS OF THE CELL |
| ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) | FORMS MEMBRANOUS CHANNELS FOR THE FLOW OF CELLULAR SUBSTANCES |
| ROUGH ER | CONTAINS RIBOSOMES WHERE PROTEIN IS SYNTHESIZED |
| SMOOTH ER | SITE OF LIPID AND STEROID SYNTHESIS; SYNTHESIS OF GLYCOGEN IN LIVER AND SKELETAL MUSCLE |
| GOLGI APPARATUS | FINISHES AND PACKAGES PROTEIN FOR TRANSPORT |
| RIBOSOMES | SITE OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS |
| FREE | RIBOSOMES TAT FLOAT WITHIN THE CYSTOSOL; MAKE PROTEIN USED WITHIN THE CELL |
| FIXED | RIBOSOMES FIXED TO THE ER, MAKING IT APPEAR ROUGH; CONCERNED WITH THE SYNTHESIS OF PROTEIN THAT IS EXPORTED |
| LYSOSOMES | INTRACELLULAR HOUSE CLEANING, PHAGOCYTOSIS, REMOVE DAMAGED ORGANELLES |
| CYTOSKELETON | MICROFILAMENTS AND MICROTUBULES THAT PROVIDE FOR INTRACELLULAR SHAPE, SUPPORT, AND MOVEMENT |
| CENTRIOLES | PAIRED SHORT, ROD-SHAPED MICROTUBULES THAT FORM SPINDLES AND HELP SEPARATE THE CHROMOSOMES DURING MITOSIS, THE CYTOPLASM SURROUNDING CENTRIOLES IS CALLED THE CENTROSOME. |
| INCLUSION BODIES | TEMPORARY INSOLUBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS GLYCERIN GRANULES AND PIGMENTS SUCH AS MELANIN |
