Term | Definition |
---|---|
Chloroplasts | is found in plant cells only loaded with enzymes whos job is to produce organic compounds (glucose) from sunlight (energy) and the inorganic compounds (water CO2) Photosynthesis |
Lysosomes | Are found in animal cells,protists,and fungi Nicknamed "suicide sacks" because when turned on they contain hydrolyptic enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of anything within the cell:Bacteria and fungi, worn out organelles,organic molecules |
Centrioles | found in animal cells only aid in the seperation of genetic material during cell division |
MicroTubules and Microfiaments | protien strands&make up the cytoskeleton of the cell cytoskeleton gives the celll shape and support and participates in movement microfilaments+make up cilias(many short strands) and flagella(few long strands) Microtubules:form spindle fibers that aid |
microtubules and microfiaments continued.... | in moving chromosomes during cell division |
Vacuoles | Mainly store water in the cell plant cells contain a singe large vacuole the water in the vacuole helps keep its shape produced by turger pressure Animal cells contain many small vacuoles that contan water and waste products |
