Term | Definition |
cellular respiration | The process that releases energy for use by the organism respiration The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is: 6O2 + C6H12O6 g 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy oxygen + glucose g carbon dioxide + water + energy |
chloroplast | contains chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in the process of photosynthesis |
endoplasmic reticulum | (ER) rough ER is characterized by large numbers of ribosomes on its surface; it produces proteins that secreted by the cell; smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is responsible for the production of lipids, such as steroid hormones |
golgi apparatus | structures made of groups of flattened sacs used to store, package, and export proteins and other materials produced in the cell |
mitochondria | (singular: mitochondrion) are the powerhouses of the cell; they produce ATP energy by a process called cellular respiration |
nucleus | the nucleus is the most important organelle in the cell; it stores the genetic material (DNA) that determines the characteristics and the metabolic functions of the cell; it is the cell's control centre |
nucleolus | the dark, spherical area of the nucleus; aids in the production of rRNA (ribosomal RNA), a structural component of ribosomes |
lysosomes | lysosomes are vesicles filled with hydrolytic enzymes that help to digest food or break down old structures for recycling or removal |
photosynthesis | solar energy + water + carbon dioxide g carbohydrate + oxygen |
ribosomes | structures found on rough ER (some are free floating) that assemble proteins |
vesicles | vesicles are small vacuoles used to transport materials |
