Plant & Animal Cells

TermDefinition
Cell Membrane Structure that controls what moves into and out of the cell.
Ribosomes Found in all cells, responsible for protein synthesis.
Nucleus Control center of the cell. Contains DNA.
Nucleolus Dark-colored mass in the nucleus. Where ribosomes are made.
Endoplasmic Reticulum -Connected to nuclear membrane - Transportation system (highway system) TWO TYPES: Smooth - No Ribosomes | Rough - ribosomes attached
Golgi Body (Apparatus) Postal System/FedEx. Modifies, packages, and transports cell products to areas inside the cell or outside the cell.
Lysosome "Garbage Disposal". Digests wore out. Contains digestive enzymes.
Vacuole Storage site for waste, enzymes, water, etc. Large in plant cells, numerous small in animal cells.
Centrosome Organelles which serve as the main microtubule organizing centers for animal cells. Made from arrangement of two barrel-shaped clusters of microtubules called "centrioles" and a complex of proteins that help additional microtubules to form.
Vesicle Transport materials from one place to another.
Transport Vesicle Can move molecules between locations inside the cell, e.g., hormones or neurotransmitters - from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane, where it locks and fuses to release its content.
Secretory Vesicle A vesicle that mediates the vesicular transport of cargo. e.g., proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus.
Cytosol The aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which various organelles and particles are suspended.
Mitochondria POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL. Cellular respiration occurs here: creates ENERGY for cell.
Chloroplast Site of food production for plants (photosynthesis). Convert sunlight into energy. Contains chlorophyll, which makes plants green.
