What are the characteristics of the cell membrane? A thin layer that surrounds the cell. It provides structure and protection and is semi-permeable.
What is the cytoplasm? The fluid in which organelles are suspended. It maintains the pressure inside of the cell.
What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus? It packages proteins and carbohydrates into vesicles for transport outside the cell.
What is an organelle? A specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell.
The mitochondria is? Makes lipids (fats) and modifies proteins and transports them throughout the cell.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (S.E.R.) Small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and within a cell.
What are vesicles? It is the control center of the cell that directs functions and contains DNA.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)? A complex molecule containing the genetic information.
What does the nucleolus do? It aides in the production of ribosomes.
What are ribosomes? Made of RNA and protein and are responsible for protein synthesis. They link amino acids together in the order specified by the codons of messenger RNA molecules to form polypeptide chains.
Central vacuole? Provide storage for materials such as water. Larger than in an animal cell.
What are lysosomes? They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
What are centrosomes? They are the main microtubule-organizing centers in distinct eukaryotic lineages. They organize microtubules and are involved in cell polarity and cell division
What is a peroxisome? They contain enzymes involved in a variety of metabolic reactions, including several aspects of energy metabolism, reactive oxygen species detoxification, and signaling.
What is a cytoskeleton? Thin protein fibers and hollow tubes that maintain structure and shape and help things move around within a cell.
A macromolecule is? A large molecule formed by joining smaller organic molecules together, usually by dehydration synthesis reaction.
A monomer? A small molecular unit that is the building block of a larger molecule.
A polymer? A large molecule formed when many smaller molecules bond together.
A carbohydrate is? Is a class of biomolecules that includes sugars, starches, and fiber; contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; key source of energy.
A monosaccharide is? A single sugar molecule such as glucose or fructose, the simplest type of sugar; monomer of complex carbohydrates.
A polysaccharide is? A large macromolecule formed from a long chain of monosaccharides.
Proteins are? A class of biomolecules that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; made up of amino acids; make structure of cell membranes, needed for repair and growth; includes enzymes.
An Amino acid is? A monomer that makes up proteins; contains carboxyl and amino functional groups.
A lipid is? A class of biomolecules insoluble in water and usually made up of fatty acids; make up cell membranes; used by cells for long-term energy storage; examples are fats, oils, waxes, and steroids.
What is a nucleotide? A monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
nucleic acid is? A class of biomolecles made up of one or two chains of nucleotides; includes either RNA or DNA that carry genetic information.
Dehydration synthesis is? A process where water is removed to put 2 smaller molecules together.
What does Hydrolysis mean? Breaking down complex molecules by the addition of water; it is essential for digestion.
