Cell Organelle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Wall | Outer layer of a plant cell that protects and supports the cell |
| Cell Membrane | Phospholipid bilayer that controls the flow of matter in and out of the cell |
| Chromatin (Chromosomes/DNA) | Uncoiled DNA |
| Cristae | Short finger like projections created by the folding of the mitochondria's inner membrane |
| Cytoplasm | The fluid outside the nucleus other than the organelles |
| Cytoskeloton | Internal framework of the cell made up of microtubuals and filaments |
| Golgi Apparatus/Body | Stores, packs and exports material and proteins made in the cell |
| Lysosome | Vesicles filled with hydrolytic enzymes that help break down food and old structures for recycling and removal |
| Matrix | Fluid in the mitocondria, this fluid contains DNA, ribosomes and enzymes |
| Nuclear Envelope | Contains nuclear pores and controls the passage of materials in and out of the nucleus |
| Nuclear Pore | An opening in the nuclear envelope that allows for the passage of proteins into the nucleus and passage of ribosomal subunits out of the nucleus |
| Nucleous | Control center for cell that contains the DNA that determines the characteristics and metabolic functions of the cell |
| Organelles | Sub-cellular structures surrounded by membranes |
| Polysomes | AKA Polyribosomes are a string of ribosomes translating the same mRNA during protein synthysis |
| Ribosomes | Assemble proteins, can be found on the rough ER or free floating in the cell |
| Rough ER | responsible for the production of proteins |
| Smooth ER | responsible for the productions of lipids |
| Vacuoles | Storage structure normally filled with water and chemicals |
| Vesicles | Small vacuoles used to transport materials |
| Plasma Membrane | AKA cell membrane separates the interior of the cell from the exterior of the cell |
