cell parts and functions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell Wall | ~ Animal cells don't have one ~ Plants:made of cellulose ~ Gives strength structure & rigidity to plant thru Turgor Pressure |
| Cell Membrane | ~ Outside covering ~ Determines what goes in/out of cell ~ Flexible but supports cells |
| Vacuole | ~ Storage unit in cells that hold water ~ Large in plants, small in animal cells |
| Nucleus | ~ Control center of cell ~ Houses DNA ~ Controls cell growth and makes ribsome |
| Lysosome | ~ Contains digestive enzymes to break things down in a cell |
| Mitochondria | ~ "Power House of the Cell" ~ Produces energy (breaks down glucose) ~ C6 H12 O6 + O2 > CO2 +H2O + Energy |
| Cytoplasm | ~ Gelatinous, semi-transparent fluid that fills the cells ~Organelles are suspended in cytoplasm |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | ~ Covered in ribosome's, stores proteins |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | ~ Covered in ribosome's, stores proteins |
| Ribosome | ~ Site of Protein Synthesis |
| Golgi Body | ~ Packages cell products for transport (like UPS) |
| Chloroplast | ~ Site of Photosynthesis: captures radiant energy and converts it to chemical energy ~ Has Chlorophyll |
