The Eukaryotic Cell

This activity will help increase your knowledge of cell organelles and their functions.

AB
EukaryoteCells that contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
ProkaryoteCells that lack membrane bound organelles.
NucleusThe control center of the cell.
OrganelleSpecialized structures within a cell.
Plasma MembraneThe flexible boundary between the cell and its environment.
Selectively PermeableAllows some molecules to pass through while preventing others in or out.
PhospholipidComposed of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate group.
Transport proteinsAllow the movement of large molecules through the cell membrane.
Cell wallRigid structure outside of the cell membrane that provides additional support and protection.
NucleolusLocation of ribosome construction.
RibosomesSites of protein assembly.
CytoplasmThe clear, gelatinous fluid inside a cell.
Endoplasmic ReticulumSite of cellular chemical reactions.
Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumEndoplasmic reticulum that is not associated with ribosomes.
Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumEndoplasmic reticulum associated with ribosomes.
Golgi apparatusFlattened stack of membranes that packages materials for transport.
VaculoesStorage areas within a cell.
LysosomesOrganelles that contain digestive enzymes.
ChloroplastsSite of photosyntheisis on a cell.
MitochondriaConverts food into cellular energy.
CytoskeletonComposed of microtubules and microfilaments to provide celluar structure.
CentriolesStructures involved in reproduction in animal cells.
