Cell Structures
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell | a membrane bound structure that is the basic structure of life |
| Cell membrane | the lipid bilayer that forms the outer boundary of the cell |
| Cell theory | this says that all living things are made of cells, that cells are the basic unit of structure and function and that cells only come from other cells |
| Cell wall | A rigid structure that surrounds the cells of plants and most bacteria |
| Chloroplast | A plastid containing chlorophyl, the site of photosynthesis |
| Cytoplasm | the region of the cell between the nucleus and the cell membrane |
| Cytoskeleton | A network of long protein strands in the cyosol that helps support the cell |
| Golgi apparatus | a system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell |
| Lysosomes | contains digestive enzymes |
| mitichondria | powerhouse of the cell, produces energy from oxygen and sugar - cellular respiration |
| nuclear memebrane | a double membrane that surrounds the nucleus |
| nucleolus | located in the nucleus, where ribosomes are made |
| nucleus | controls the cell, contains the DNA |
| organelle | one of several bodies with a specialized function in the cell |
| organ | seveal types of body tissue that together form a function |
| organ system | a group of organs that interact to perform a set of related tasks |
| Ribosome | an organelle that functions in teh making of proteins |
| tissue | a group of similar cells that carry out a similar function |
| vacuole | stores water and nutrients for the cell, very large in plants |
| vesicle | a membrane bound sac that a contains materials involved in transport of the cell |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | an internal membrane system in which components of cell membrane and proteins are constructed. |
