cell organelles
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Organelles (Sam) | Organs of a cell |
| Cytosol (Sam) | The liquid between the cell membrane and the nucleus |
| Cytoplasm (Sam) | The liquid cytosol and all of the organelles floating in it |
| Cell Membrane (Sam) | the cell membrane lets things go in and out of the cell. It is made of two |
| Nucleus (Sam) | The chromosomes, nucleolus, and nuclear membrane |
| Nucleolus (Sam) | The brain of the cell |
| Nuclear Membrane (Sam) | protects the chromosomes |
| Chromatin (Sam) | DNA |
| Chromosomes (Sam) | coiled up chromatin |
| Mitochondria (Sam) | Does cellular respiration, which is converting glucose and oxygen to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and carbon dioxide. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (Sam) | channels that transport proteins. There is rough endoplasmic reticulum (covered in ribosomes) & smooth endoplasmic reticulum. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum 2 (Sam) | Endoplasmic reticulum is close to the nucleus to receive chemical messages quickly; it pinches off bubbles called vesicles that transport things; these become the “golgi apparatus” or “golgi bodies” |
| Ribosomes (Sam) | Ribosomes create proteins |
| Vesicle (Sam) | Vesicles transport things |
| Golgi Body (Sam) | The golgi body changes the protein and transports it around the cell to the organelles & to other cells through the cell membrane. they also create lysosomes |
| Lysosomes (Sam) | vesicles that contain digestive enzymes that can break things down for reuse/recycling |
| Cell Wall (Sam) | Plants do not have muscles or bones, so they need a rigid cell wall to help them stand up (like an outside skeleton) |
| Chloroplast (Sam) | Chloroplasts containing green chlorophyll that makes energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide, water and the Sun’s energy (photosynthesis) |
| Chlorophyll (Sam) | makes energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide, water and the Sun’s energy (photosynthesis) |
| Large Vacuole (Sam) | store water because it does not rain all the time, and plants are stuck in one place |
