The Cell- Cell Structure and Function
Cards in this deck (26)
- 1A Flexible Covering that protects the inside of a cell from the environment ouCell Membrane
- 2What Are cell membranes made of?Proteins and phospholipids
- 3What is a stiff structure outside the cell membrane?Cell Wall
- 4What type of cells have cell walls?Plant Cells
- 5What are appendages?Structures on the outside of a cell that look like long hairs or tails that often help a cell move.
- 6long tail like structures that whip back and forth to help a cell moveFlagella
- 7short hairlike structures that can help a cell move or help move molecules away from the cell.Cilia
- 8The fluid inside a cell that is made of water, salts, and other moleculesCytoplasm
- 9Thread like proteins that are joined together. A framework that gives a cell its shape and helps it moveCytoskeleton
- 10A cell in which the genetic material is not surrounded by a membrane. They also don't have many of the cell parts that other cells have. Most are unicellular organismsProkaryotic Cell
- 11A cell in which the genetic material is surrounded by a membrane. Also has organelles.Eukaryotic Cell
- 12Structures that are surrounded by a membrane and have specialized functions.organelles
- 13The largest organelle inside most eukaryotic cells. The part of a eukaryotic cell that directs cell activities and contains genetic information stored in DNANucleus
- 14DNA is in structures called what?Chromosomes
- 15Makes Ribosomes and organelles that help produce proteinsNucleolus
- 16Has many pores, surrounds the Nucleus. Formed by two membranesNuclear Envelope
- 17Not surrounded by a cell membrane. In the cytoplasm of a cell. Can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum. (ER)Ribosomes
- 18ER with ribosomes on its surface. Where Proteins are produced.Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- 19ER without Ribosomes on its surface. Makes lipids such as cholesterol. Also helps remove harmful substances from a cell.Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- 20Where some energy is processed in a cell. Surrounded by two membranes. Chemical reactions within release energyMitochondria
- 21high energy molecules where energy is stored. Energy used by cell for growth, cell division and transporting materialsATP Adenosine Triphosphate
- 22membrane-bound organelles that use light and energy to make food, a sugar called glucose, from water and carbon dioxide in a process called photosynthesis.Chloroplasts
- 23An organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes. Gets proteins ready for specific jobs. Packages the proteins into vesicles.Golgi Apparatus
- 24tiny membrane-bound, ball-like structures. Transport substances to other parts of a cell.Vesicles
- 25Vesicles that help break down and recycle different parts of the cell.Lysosomes
- 26organelles that store food, water, and waste materials for a cell..Vacuole
