| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell membrane | this is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the surrounding environment |
| cell wall | the cell wall is the tough, flexible but sometimes rigid layer that surrounds some types of cell |
| cellular respiration | cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients to ATP and then to waste produce |
| chloroplast | they are responsible for photosynthesis and carry out almost all fatty acid synthesis in plants |
| chromatin | it is a combination of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell. |
| chromosome | a chromosome is an organized structure of DNA, protein, and RNA found in cells |
| cristae | one of the inward projections or folds of the inner membrane of a mitochondria |
| cytoplasm | the cytoplasm is a clear substance that consists of all of the contents outside of the nucleus of a membrane bound cell |
| cytoskeleton | the cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding or skeleton contained within a cells cytoplasm |
| Golgi bodies | the Golgi body packages proteins inside the cell before they are sent to their destinations |
| lysosomes | lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydro-lase enzymes that break down waste material and cellular debris |
| matrix | matrix is a material in animal or plant cells in which more specialized structures are embedded and a specific part of the mitochondria that is the site of oxidation of organic molecules |
| mitochondria | they are structures that generate energy to run the cell |
| nuclear envelop | this is the double lipid bi-layer membrane which surrounds the genetic material in nucleolus in eukaryotic cells |
| nuclear pore | nuclear pore are large protein complexes that cross the nuclear envelop, which is the double membrane surrounding the eukaryotic cell nucleus |
| nucleolus | the nucleolus is a non-membrane bond structure found in the nucleus of cells |
| nucleus | the control center of cell containing the cells chromosomal DNA |
| organelle | an organelle is a specialized sub-unit within a cell that has a specific function, and it is usually separately enclosed within its own lipid bi-layer |
| polysome | these are a cluster of ribosomes bound to mRNA molecule |
| ribosome | the ribosome is a large and complex molecular machine found within a living cell that serves as the primary site of biological protein synthesis |
| rough endoplasmic reticulum | the rough endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle of cells in eukaryotic organism that form an interconnected network of membrane vesicle with studded ribosomes |
| smooth endoplasmic reticulum | the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle of cells in eukaryotic organism that forms an interconnected network of membrane vesicles without ribosomes |
| vacuole | a vacuole is a membrane bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cell and some protist, animal and bacterial cells |
| vesicle | a vesicle is a small bubble within a cell, and thus enclosed by lipid bi-layer. |
