Microscope and Cell Parts
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Cell Membrane | Controls the movement into and out of the cell |
Cytoplasm | Watery material which contains many of the materials involved in cell metabolism |
Endoplasmic Recticulum | Serves as a pathway for the transport of materials throughout the cell; also associated with synthesis and storage |
Nucleus | serves as the control center for cell metabolism and reproduction |
Ribosomes | sites of protein synthesis |
Lysosomes | Involved in the digestion of food within the cell |
Mitochondria | The "powerhouse" of the cell |
Golgi Apparatus | Packages and secretes the products of the cell |
Centrioles | Involved in cell division in animal cells |
Vacuole | Fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane; contains stored food or wastes |
Nucleolus | site of the production of ribosomes |
Nuclear Membrane | Controls movement into and out of the nucleus |
Cell Wall | Gives the cell its shape and provides protection; not found in animal cells |
Cilia | Hairlike structures with the capacity for movement |
Flagella | a long, hairlike structure used for movement |
Chloroplast | site for photosynthesis |
Chromosomes | Rod-shaped bodies that carry genetic information |
Nuclear Membrane | Holds nucleus together |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | Surface for chemical activity |
Genes | units of heredity |
Lysosome | digestion center |
Ribosomes | where proteins are made |
Centrioles | structures involved in mitosis in animal cells only |
Microtubule | microscopic cylinders that support and give the cell shape |
Cell Wall | Shapes and supports a plant cell |
Golgi Bodies | stores and releases chemicals |
Chloroplasts | food for plant cells is made here |
Nucleolus | Spherical body within nucleus |
Cell (Plasma) Membrane | controls entry into and out of the cell |
Chlorophyll | Traps light and is used to produce food for plants |
Nucleus | Chromosomes are found here |
Cytoplasm | jellylike substance within the cell |
Chromosomes | Contains code which guides all cell activity |
Nuclear Pore | minute hole in nuclear membrane |
Vacuole | Contains water and dissolved minerals |
Plastid | Stores food or contains pigment |
Organelles | Small, Specialized structure usually surrounded by a membrane; each organelle has a specific function in the cell |
Pro= | =Before |
Eu= | =Good |
Karyon= | =Kernel or nucleus |
