| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| nucleus | store, protect, and manage the cell's genetic material / brain of the cell |
| nucleolus | produces and assembles ribosome subunits |
| cilia | move fluids across the cell surface |
| flagella | propel a cell through a liquid environment |
| mitochondria | powerhouses of the cell by converting nutrients into chemical energy |
| rough ER | synthesize, fold, and processing proteins-check proteins destined for the cell membrane, other organelles, or export outside the |
| smooth ER | synthesize essential lipids, process toxins, and regulate calcium ions within plant and animal cells. |
| centrioles | organize microtubules to help with cell division and build cilia and flagella. only animal cells |
| cell wall | rigid, protective outer layer. only plant cells |
| cytoplasm | jelly-like substance inside a cell. supports life processes, maintains cell shape, and hosts critical chemical reactions. |
| lysosomes | primary digestive and recycling centers of eukaryotic cells, breaking down macromolecules, foreign invaders, and damaged cell parts |
| ribosome | makes proteins |
| vesicle | transport, store, and organize substances like proteins, enzymes, and waste. |
| cell membrane | regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell. |
| chloroplast | conduct photosynthesis. only plant cell |
| golgi apparatus | modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for delivery to targeted destinations inside or outside the cell |
| microtubules | providing structural support |
| central vacuole | stores water, nutrients, and waste while maintaining turgor pressure |
| vacuole | storage and support center |
| microtubules | providing structural support, tracks for intracellular transport, and machinery for cell division and motility. |
