CELLS study
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| contains DNA responsible for a cells characteristics and controls the cellular structure and direct cellular activities | Nucleus |
| in charge of protein synthesis and the collection and movement of ribosomes throughout the cell | Rough ER |
| what does ER stand for | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| the powerhouse of the cell that is incharge of ATP production/ the energy the cell needs to move | Mitochondria |
| protects the cell from making to much hydrogen peroxide | Peroxisomes |
| produces ribosomes that take position on the cells Rough ER | Nucleolus |
| contains hydrolytic enzymes necessary for inter cellular digestion (splits debris and particles) | Lysosomes |
| acts as a protective barrier that controls what enters and exits a cell that is composed of phospholipids | Cell membrane |
| a fluid where organelles reside and most cellular metabolism takes place | Cytosol/Cytoplasm |
| differs between the movement/ synthesis of lipids (also steroid hormones) | Smooth ER |
| role in intercellular digestion and the release of cellular waste | Vacuole |
| all over the cell to provide structure | Micro- and Intermediate Filaments |
| gives cells structure and helps a cell move | Microtubules |
| packaging macromolescules for transport in the cell (removes waste) | Golgi Complex |
| in charge of cell division and does this by making copies of itself and moving to opposite sides of the cell when splitting | Centrsomes/centrioles |
| incharge of cell secretions like hormones and neurotransmitters. They collect and transport substances from the Golgi- complex and cell membrane | Secretory Vesicles |
| unspecialized cells that are able to renew themselves for long periods of time by cell division. These are found throughout the body and function as the body's repair and replace system. stem cells can change into other cells. | stem cells |
| cells that attack any cell and are uncontrollable cell growth and division | cancer cells |
| cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons (nerve glue) | glial |
| Transports oxygen | Erytnocytes |
| Helps to contract muscles for movement | Monocyte |
| Sensory receptors | Merkel cells |
| White blood cells | Leukocyte |
| Stores energy | Adipocyte |
| Makes mucus | Goblet/ Goblett cell |
| KIlls dangerous cells | NK cells |
| Imune cells that kills other cells | Cytotoxic |
| Gamets | Reproductive |
| Cells located in the pancreus | Pancreatic |
| specialized structure within a cell that performs specific functions | organelle |
| outside a cell | extracellular |
| inside a cell | innercellular |
| extracellular structure that looks like a stick/honeycomb | glycoprotein |
| part of a phospholipid that is water loving (the head) | Hydrophilic |
| part of a phospholipid that is water fearing (the tail) | hydrophobic |
| two steps that occur during protein synthesis | transcription (rewrite) and translation (makes sense of the written) |
| reticular | net like structure |
| phage | to eat or devoure |
| endo- | internal or within |
