DNA Genetic material that organisms inherit from their parents. Is a nucleic acid.
nuclear pore Controls what may enter and leave the nucleus.
smooth ER Detoxifies drugs and poisons in the body (lacks ribosomes).
rough ER Studded with ribosomes making it able to synthesize proteins for export.
Golgi apparatus Active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products. Contains a cis-and trans- face. cis-receiving trans-transporting
vacuole storage centers
vesicle transport substances of the cell
free ribosome protein synthesis for use within the cell
bound ribosomes protein synthesis to be used outside of the cell
nuclear envelope Membrane surrounding the nucleus. Same type of membrane as cell membrane.
cytoskeleton Provides structure and support for the cell. Used to move organelles, chromosomes, and vesicles.
centrosome function is unknown, place where the microtubules are iniated
mitochondrion cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated. Contains its own DNA
lysosome Digestive enzyme which contains hydrolytic enzymes.
cell wall Outer layer that maintains the shape of a plant cell.
central vacuole Prominent organelle in plant cell used for storage. Enlargement of this is a major mechanism of plant growth.
plasma membrane Semipermeable membrane that controls the passage of materials into and out of the cell.
chloroplast Contains its own DNA. Is the site of photosynthesis in plants.
peroxisome Produces hydrogen peroxide as a by-product, then converts it to water.
microtubules The largest component of the cytoskeleton. Major component of cilia and flagella. Also used to move chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
