cell organelles

QuestionAnswer
cell wall fairly rigid stucture located outside of the plasma membrane, provides protection and support/ found in plant animal and bacteria
cytoplasm clear, gelatinous,fluid in cells, suspends organelles, site of many chemical reactions/ found in plant animal and bacteria
nucleolus prominent organelle in the center of teh nucleus, responsable for making ribosomes/ found in plant and animal
microfilaments small, thin, solid proteins, anchor and support organelles/ found in animal and plant
endoplasmic reticulum extensive network of membranes with accordian folds that attatch to the nuclear membrane, site of cellular reactions and responsible for transporting materials within a cell
smooth e.r. no ribosomes, lipid components of cell membrane made here, breaks down waste and poison
nuclear pores holes in nuclear membrane allow substances to pass through/ found in animal and plant
lysosomes membrane bound sac containing digestive enzymes, digests worn out organelles, food, and engulfs viruses and bacteria "suicide sacs"/ found in animal and plant
vacuoles membrane bound compartments, temp stores food, enzymes,/ found in plant and animal
ribosomes non membrane bound organelle composed of rna and proteins, responsible for making protein/ found in animal plant and bacteria cells
cytoskeleton cellular framework composed of microtubules and microfilament, support structure for teh cell/ found in animal and plant
plasma membrane flexible boundary between the cell and teh environment composed of phospholipid bilayer, allow materials to enter and exit cell
chloroplast outer and inner membrane that contains green pigment called chlorophyll, captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy/ found in plants
centriole pair of small cylindrial structures composed of microtubules used in cell division/ found in animal cells
nuclear envelope double layers membrane, seperates the nucleus from cytoplasm/ found in plant and animal
golgi apparatis series of flattened membrane bound sacs arranged like a stack of pancakes, modifies materials then packages and secretes them, packages are called vesicles/ found in animal and plant
nucleus control center of the cell, contains cells dna and with it the instructions for making proteins/ found in animal and plant
rough e.r. studded with ribosomes and involved in the synthesis of proteins
microtubles thin, hallow, cylinders made of proteins maintain the shape of the cells and serves as tracts on which the organelle move/ found in animal and plant cells
flagella long whiplike projections located on outside of cell, used in locomotion/ found in animal and bacterial cells
mitochondria membrane bound organelle with a highly folded inner membrane, transforms energy from food sources, cells "powerhouse"/ found in animal and plant
cilia short, hairlike structures located on the outside of the cell, used in locomotion and feeding/ found in animal plant and bacterial cells
plastid membrane bound organelle that contains pigments usually red or brown, chloroplast is a type of plastid/ found in plants
chromatin strands of dna located in the nucleus, when cells divide this condenses to form chromosomes/ found in animal plant and bacterial cells

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.
