Cell Structure
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the study of cells | Cytology |
| The 4 basic parts of the cell | Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, and DNA/RNA |
| Cells are divided into 2 categories | Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
| Cells that are small, simple, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA/RNA, NO nucleus, and NO organelles. | Prokaryotes |
| Cells that are complex, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA/RNA, and organelles | Eukaryotes |
| Small compartments that carry out specialized functions within a cell | Organelles |
| Provides the internal support system for the cell. | Cytoskeleton |
| Organelle that produces lipids. | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Organelle dotted with ribosomes. It is responsible for packaging the proteins made by ribosomes. | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Organelle that will modify, package, and sort protein packages for secretion out of the cell. | Golgi Apparatus (or Golgi Body) |
| Organelle responsible for breaking down glucose molecules into ATP energy molecules. The site of glycolysis. | Mitochondria |
| Organelles found in plant and algae cells that produce glucose molecules. The site of photosynthesis. | Chloroplast |
| Organelle that produces enzymes (a type of protein) that destroy foreign molecules and waste products in the cell. | Lysosome |
| Organelle that stores water, salt, food, or waste products in the cell. | Vacuole |
| Organelle that stores DNA. | Nucleus |
