Cell organelles

Unit 1&2 VCE Biology

TermDefinition
flagella whip-like structure, allows cell to move
prokaryote primitive form of cell, does not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, eg bacteria
cytoplasm everything between plasma membrane and nucleus (cytosol plus organelles)
vacuole store food/nutrients/water for cell
cilia slender organelles that project from cell body and either help the cell to move or help it to sense its surroundings
cytosol fluid component of cytoplasm
nucleus control centre of cell, contains DNA/chromosomes
smooth endoplasmic reticulum site where lipids and steroids are produced
chloroplast site of photosynthesis, produces glucose
vesicle transports substances around, into and out of cell
lysosome digest excess/worn-out organelles, food and bacteria and viruses
ribosome site of protein synthesis
golgi body/apparatus/complex protein is modified and packaged for transport/export
mitochondria site of aerobic cellular respiration, produces ATP
eukaryote complex form of cell, contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, eg muscle cell
plasma/cell membrane membrane surrounding cell, controls entry and exit of substances
cell wall surround plant, fungi and bacteria cells, provides structural support for cell
DNA deoxyribonucleic acid - genetic material of a cell
cytoskeleton provides structure and support to cell, acting as skeleton
