Cells- Chapter 3

TermDefinition
cytoskelaton network of protein tubes that give the cell shape, support, and mobility
cell wall give shape and protection; small openings allow for material to pass in/out
chromatin contains genetic material for protein synthesis
plastids where plants create and store chemical compounds
ribosomes where proteins are made
vesicles transports material to be excreted or taken in by the cell; created by cell membrane
mitochondria breaks down organic molecules making ATP energy for the cell
lysosomes contains enzymes for digesting food
nuclear envelope selectively permeable allowing only certain materials to enter/exit the region where DNA is kept
cell membrane separates internal/external environment
golgi appartus modifies, packages, stores, and transports lipids made by the smooth ER
cilia short, hair-like structures on the cell surface for movement
nuclear pores allows RNA and waste to leave, but DNA will not fit through
chromoplasts gives fruits, vegetables, and plants their color
chloroplasts produced by the liver, vesicles that break down dead material to detoxify the cell
peroxisomes fluid-filled sack where water, food, ions, waste, and sometimes poison, are stored
cytoplasm fluid that cushions and protects against the organelles
necleolus dark center of nucleus, information to make ribosomes
microtubules thick hollow proteins that make the skeleton of the cell that are tracks for movement in the cell
amyloplasts also called leucoplasts, store starch for food
flagella a "tail" used for movement
smooth ER an organelle made by the liver, creates lipids for detoxification of the cell
centrosome a type of cytoskeleton near the nucleus and aids in cell division
nucleus "control center" for cell that stores hereditary info and has a double membrane
chloroplasts plastid responsible for creating food, contains chlorophyll and has its own DNA
microfilaments cytoskeleton type responsible for cell being able to change shape
rough ER continuous from the nuclear membrane, creates membrane proteins

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
