Cells

Figuring out you truly hate science

QuestionAnswer
Synthesizes proteins Ribosome
modification and export of proteins Golgi apparatus
where ribosomes are made and receive signaling molecules Nucleolus
allows movement of organelles within the cell Microtubules
controls the passage of molecules into and out of the cell Cell Membrane
where proteins are made and receive signaling molecules Rough ER
organizes the spindle and cell division Centriole
shuttles proteins between organelles Transport Vesicles
converts the energy from nutrients into ATP Mitochondrion
allows the cell to move in space Flagella
controls cell function and site of genetic information storage Nucleus
synthesis and transport of lipids Smooth ER
shapes plant cells Cell wall
digestion of food vacuoles and damaged organelles Lysosome
allows contraction and movement of cells Microfilament
converts solar energy to energy usable by the cell Chloroplast
storage of water, chemicals, and wastes in plant cells Central vacuole
genetic information storage located in nucleus Chromosome
anchors organelles, holds nucleus in place Intermediate filaments
general name for structures in the cytoplasm Organelle
released by the Golgi apparatus, travels to the surface of the cell to release its contents Secretory Vesicles
List seven differences between plant and animal cells Plants: Cell wall, chloroplast, boxy, green Animal: Centrioles, flagella, round, transparent
Describe the steps by which a protein is first synthesized and then exported by a cell Proteins -> Ribosomes -> Rough ER -> Golgi -> Vesicles (synthesized-which is moving)
Is the cell membrane the outer boundary of all cells? No, some have cell wall
How might it benefit an organism to have the nucleus near the centre of its cell? It's more protected and easier access to organelles
Name the organelles that are surrounded by a membrane (these are part of the endomembrane system) Both ERs, nucleus, golgi, lysosomes, vacuoles, vesicles, cell membrane
What are the three parts of the cell theory? 1. All living things have cells 2. Cells come from other cells 3. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things
Controls or regulates the movement of materials that enter and exit the cell Cell membrane
Site of protein assembly Ribosomes
Site of photosynthesis Chloroplast
Fine, long thread like organelles protruding from cell surfaces; used in locomotion, usually 1 or 2 found on the cell Flagella; animals and bacteria cells (only some animal)
Contains genetic information that directs all the activities of a cell nucleus
Type of ER found in cells that produce proteins Rough ER
Threads that are short, numerous, and organized in dense rows providing locomotion Cillia
One structure found in animal cells, but not in plant cells Centriole
Structure, found in the nucleus, which produces ribsosomes Nuclelous
Serves as an external boundary between the plant cells and its environment Cell wall
Not found in eukaryotic animal cells Chloroplast
The scientist who examined dead cork cells under a primitive microscope Robert Hooke
Produces ATP Mitochondria
The term referring to the cell's ability to let certain substances in and out Selective permeable; semi-permeable
Controls or regulates the movement of materials that enter and exit the animal cell Cell membrane
Processes and packages materials for transport out of the cell Golgi Appartus
Network of long proteins that provide structure and support for cell Cytoskeleton
What are 4 things all cells have? Ribosomes DNA Cell Membrane Cytoplasm
Used to move materials throughout the cell and to cell membrane Vesicles
Name 2 differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells Prokaryotic- No nucleus, small, simple, older/ came 1st Eukaryotic- Nucleus, large, complex
What is the primary reason cells have to be small? Cells have to move things through them quickly. If the cells were big, they'd die. The food wouldn't get in fast enough.
List 2 organelles inside a eukaryotic cell that have a relationship in production, function, or efficiency -Ribosomes and Rough ER- Proteins produced in ribosomes, Rough ER transports proteins to the Golgi -Golgi Apparatus and Vesicles- Golgi figures out where proteins go, vesicles move them to the spots
What organelles have their own DNA? Mitochondria and Chloroplasts

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
