SLS14 Bio 12 cell LM

QuestionAnswer
Cell Structural and functional unit of an organism; the smallest structure capable of performing all the functions necessary for life.
Cell Wall Structure that surrounds a plant, protistan, fungal, or bacterial cell and maintains the cell’s shape and rigidity.
Chloroplast Membranous organelle that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.
Chromatin Network of fibrils consisting of DNA and associated proteins observed within a nucleus that is not dividing.
Chromosome Rodlike structure in the nucleus seen during cell division; contains the hereditary units, or genes.
Cristae Short, fingerlike projections formed by the folding of the inner membrane of mitochondria.
Cytoplasm Contents of a cell between the nucleus and the plasma membrane that contains the organelles.
Cytoskeleton Internal framework of the cell, consisting of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) smooth and rough Membranous system of tubules, vesicles, and sacs in cells, sometimes having attached ribosomes. Rough ER has ribosomes; smooth ER does not.
Eukaryotic Cell One of the two major types of cells; contain a nucleus.
Golgi bodies Organelle, consisting of flattened saccules and also vesicles, that processes, packages, and distributes molecules about or from the cell.
Lysosome Membrane-bounded vesicle that contains hydrolytic enzymes for digesting macromolecules.
Mitochondrion Membrane-bounded organelle in which ATP molecules are produced during the process of cellular respiration.
Motor Molecule Protein that derives energy from ATP to propel itself along a protein filament or microtubule.
Nuclear Envelope Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus and is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum.
Nuclear Pore Opening in the nuclear envelope that permits the passage of proteins into the nucleus and ribosomal subunits out of the nucleus.
Nucleoid Region of a bacterium where the bacterial chromosome is found; it is not bounded by a nuclear envelope.
Nucleolus Dark-staining, spherical body in the nucleus that produces ribosomal subunits.
Nucleus Membrane-bounded organelle within a eukaryotic cell that contains chromosomes and controls the structure and function of the cell.
Organelle Small, often membranous structure in the cytoplasm, having a specific structure and function.
Polyribosome String of ribosomes simultaneously translating regions of the same mRNA strand during protein synthesis.
Prokaryotic cell Lacking a membrane-bounded nucleus and organelles; the cell type within the domains Bacteria and Archaea.
Ribosome RNA and protein in two subunits; site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.
Vacuole Membrane-bounded sac that holds fluid and a variety of other substances.
Vesicle Small, membrane-bounded sac that stores substances within a cell.
Cell membrane the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a 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 into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
Matrix the intercellular substance of a tissue or the tissue from which a structure develops

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
