1.1 Cell Structure
Aiden Chretien
Term | Definition |
---|---|
mitochondria (Aiden Chretien) | an organelle that provides energy for the cell |
nucleus (Aiden Chretien) | an organelle that controls everything in the cell (the brain) |
Organelles (Aiden Chretien) | Little organs that perform the functions of the cell |
Cytosol (Aiden Chretien) | The fluid in a cell that acts as a shock absorber and sends out chemical signals |
Cytoplasm (Aiden Chretien) | All the organelles floating in cytosol are Cytoplasm |
Cell membrane (Aiden Chretien) | The phospholipid bilayer on the exterior of a cell that controls what goes in and out |
Nuclear membrane (Aiden Chretien) | Controls what goes in and out of the nucleus and protects the chromatin |
Chromatin (DNA) (Aiden Chretien) | The DNA or RNA inside of the nucleus |
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Aiden Chretien) | Transport channels for proteins made by Ribosomes, receives messages from the nucleus and pinches off vesicles. |
Ribosomes (Aiden Chretien) | Cover the Endoplasmic Reticulum and produce proteins |
Vesicles (Aiden Chretien) | Act as transport containers for protein and become the golgi apparatus |
Golgi Apparatus (Aiden Chretien) | Sort/package proteins and transport them to new vesicles and cells through the cell membrane. |
Lysosomes (Aiden Chretien) | Contain digestive enzymes to reuse/recycle things wile destroying invading microbes. |
ATP (Aiden Chretien) | Adenosine Triphosphate is the energy created by the cells. |
Cell Wall* (Aiden Chretien) | Helps the plants stay upright |
Chloroplast* (Aiden Chretien) | Used to preform photosynthesis to produce glucose |
Chlorophyll* (Aiden Chretien) | The thing inside of Chloroplasts that allow it to perform photosynthesis |
Large vacuoles* (Aiden Chretien) | Stores large amount of water to keep the plant hydrated. |
