Biology-cell parts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nuclear envelope | Membrane surrounding the nucleus |
| Nucleolus | Dense core of the nucleus that contains rna and assembles ribosomes |
| Chromatin | Threads of DNA scattered throughout the nucleus becomes chromosomes during the cell division |
| Nuclear pore | Protein channels that allow materials into and out of the nucleus |
| Organelles | Specialized structures that carry on the life funcione and of the cell called little organ. Specialized parts within the cytosol |
| Vacuole | Large storage sack holds water |
| Vesicle | Small storage sack moves materials in and out of the cell |
| Lysosome | A vesicle containing digestive enzymes called garbage disposals |
| Cytoskeleton | The skeleton of the cell. protein that provides shape and structure and aid in transportation of materials |
| Microfilament | Makes up cytoskeleton. Thin thread like structure made up of protein |
| Microtubule | Makes up cytoskeleton. Hollow tubelike protein structure |
| Centrioles | Made out of microtubules. Help organize cell division |
| Celia and flagella | Made out of microtubules. Microtubules that project from the cells surface enables some cells to move |
| Ribosomes | Assembles protein. Made in nucleolus, sent to cytoplasm or RER |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | Internal membrane system |
| Rough endoplasmic reticulum | Has ribosomes on it and helps make protein |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | No ribosomes. Makes liquids |
| Golgi apparatus | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials for the cell |
| Mitochondria | Converts chemical energy stored in food into a usable form, makes ATP |
| Chloroplast | Plant cells only. Captures energy from sunlight and converts it into food- photosynthesis |
| Cytoplasm | Organelles and fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus |
| Cytosol | Fluid portion of the cell |
| Prokaryote | No nucleus and dna is found throughout the cell |
| Eukaryote | Has a nucleus and dna is found enclosed in the nucleus |
| Cell | Basic unit of structure in all forms of life smallest thing that is truly alive |
