Cell Test 2

Cell Organelles / Carbohydrates / Lipids

TermDefinition
Lipid Fat.
First Function Lipids are referred to as an energy storage molecule.
Number of functions 5.
Second Function Serves as an insulator.
Third Function Protects and cushions animals and helps retain body heat.
Forth Function Fat soluble and their proper functioning hormones in the body.
Fifth Function Povides the important barrier between the watery inside of the cell and the watery outside.
Non-Polar Hydrophobic Lipid Tail Fatty acid tail.
Polar Hydrophilic Lipid Head Glycerol.
ANIMAL CELL PARTS
Ribosomes Site of protein synthesis.
Chloroplast Site of photosynthesis.
Mitochondria Glucose is metabolized in this organelle.
Cytosol The liquid contents of the inside of the cell.
Smooth ER Contains enzymes that perform specialized tasks, such as making lipids.
Lysosome Small enzyme-filled organelle that helps digest food and waste.
Nuclear Membrane Structure that surrounds the nucleus.
Cell Membrane Structure that surrounds all cells.
Cytoskeleton Network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape and allows for movement of organelles within the cell.
Rough ER Proteins made in this organelle will be modified and transported throughout the cell in this organelle's membranous system.
Golgi Apparatus Located next to cell membrane; attaches carbohydrates and lipids to proteins before they are sent out of the cell.
Nuclear Pores Holes in the nuclear membrane.
Vacuole Site of water storage in a plant cell.
Nucleolus Makes ribosomes.
Nucleus Contains hereditary materials and controls all cell functions.
Only Found In Animal Cell Lysosomes and Centrioles.
Monosaccharides Mono=1, Saccharide=ring. A single ringed carbohydrate that make fuits taste sweet.
Glucose Simple sugar that cells "burn" for fuel.
Disaccharide Di=2, Saccharide=ring. Includes 1 ring of sucrose and 1 ring of fructose.
Starche 3 or more saccharides (rings). A.K.A. polysaccharides.
Polysaccharide Poly=many, Saccharide=rings. In potatoes, pasta, corn, etc.. Provide more sustained energy than sugars. Humans can store starch a glycogen in thier livers and in their muscles.
Cellulose Made from polysaccharides stored as starches in the vacuole for to be used later for the cell wall.

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.
