Eukaryotic Cells

TermDefinition
Nucleus contains the cell's DNA
Nucleolus dense region in the nucleus where the assembly of ribosomes begin
Ribosomes small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm. Where proteins are assembled
Endoplasmic Reticulum site where lipid components of cell membrane are assembled, and proteins and other materials are exported from the cell. Rough and smooth, ribosomes make it rough
Rough ER involved in synthesis of proteins
Smooth ER enzymes aid in synthesizing lipid membranes and detoxifying drugs
Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage or secretion outside the cell
Lysosomes small organelles filled with enzymes to break down molecules and other organelles in cell that are no longer needed. They "clean" the cell
Vacuole sack-like structure used for storage (water, salts, proteins, carbs) in plants, it pumps excess water out of cells to maintain homeostasis
Mitochondria organelles that convert energy (food) into a usable form. Inherited from mother
Chloroplasts organelles that capture sunlight and convert it to the energy that mitochondria use. (photosynthesis). Original solar cell
Cytoskeleton network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape and support and move the cell. Made of microfilaments and microtubules
Microfilaments Threadlike structures made of actin (protein). Form a tough, flexible framework that supports the cell and helps it move
Microtubules hollow structure made up of tubulins (protein). Maintain cell shape and cell division, form the mitotic spindle. in animal cells, used to form centrioles
Cell wall All plant cells have this. Outside the cell membrane and provides protection and structure. On a day to day basis, it's called wood, paper, or cellulose
Cell Membrane consists of phospholipid bilayer. There are proteins within that act as straws that allow molecules to pass through. Some allow water, some glucose, and others control NA and Cl

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
