A | B |
cell theory | 3 part theory which summarizes cell biology |
plasma membrane | made of a phospholipid bilayer, surrounds cell |
organelles | tiny organs which perform all cell activities |
nucleus | manages all cell activity |
eukaryotic cell | plant or animal cell with membrane-bound organelles |
prokaryotic cell | mostly bacterial, no membrane-bound organelles |
selective permeability | allowing some things to pass through, but not others |
phospholipid bilayer | 2 layers of molecules that make up the plasma membrane |
transport proteins | proteins that allow materials to enter or exit the plasma membrane |
fluid mosaic model | plasma membrane with components constantly in motion |
cytoplasm | semi-fluid that fills up the cell |
cytoskeleton | network of microtubulues that support organelles in the cell |
ribosomes | manufacture protein, do not have membranes |
nucleolus | center of nucleus, holds amino acids |
endoplasmic reticulum | rough and smooth membrane system |
golgi apparatus | stack of membranes that export things from cell |
vacuole | storage for water, enzymes and sugars |
lysosomes | vesicles that have enzymes for digestion |
centrioles | bundles of microtubules used in cell division |
mitochondria | makes glucose into cellular energy (ATP) |
chloroplast | filled with thylakoids and chlorophyll, runs photosynthesis |
cell wall | thick rigid mesh of fibers, gives plants toughness |
cilia | tiny hairlike projections used for movement |
flagella | 1 or 2 long whiplike projections for movement |
