| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Phospholipid Bilayer | |
| Chromosome | When a cell is about to divide, the DNA condenses to form these |
| Nuclear Envelope | The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane |
| Nucleolus | Most nuclei contain at least one denser area- It is the site where the DNA is concentrated when it is in the process of making ribosomal RNA |
| Ribosome | Organelles made of protein and RNA that direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm |
| Mitochondrion | Tiny organelles that transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | System of membranous tubes and sacs, called cisternae |
| Golgi Apparatus | Another system of flattened, membranous sacs |
| Lysosome | Vesicles that bud from the Golgi apparatus and that contain digestive enzyme |
| Cytoskeleton | Network of thin tubes and filaments that crisscross the cytosol |
| Microtubule | Hollow tubes made of a protein called tubulin |
| Microfilament | Long threads of the breadlike protein actin and are linked end to end and wrapped around each other |
| Cilium | And flagella are hairlike structures that extend the surface of the cell, where they assist in movement |
| Flagellum | |
| Centriole | Consist of two short cylinders of microtubules at right angles to each other and are situated in the cylinders near the nuclear envelopes |
