A | B |
Nucleus | “ the brain of the cell” |
Mitochondria | Creates the cells energy through cellular respiration |
Ribosome | Where proteins are made |
Rough ER | Portion of the ER studded with ribosome, channeled organelle that packages the proteins |
Chloroplast | Only found in plants, responsible for converting light energy to chemical energy |
Cell membrane | Flexible barrier surrounding the cell responsible for what goes in and out of the cell |
Cell wall | A rigid barrier surrounding a plant cell |
Tissue | A group of cells performing the same function |
organ | A group of tissues performing the same function |
Organ system | A group of organs performing the same function |
Lysosome | Organelle responsible for “cleaning up” dead and decaying cell parts |
Contractile vacuole | A special vacuole used to pump out excess water |
Vacuole | Storage unit, stores water, food, waste |
Organelle | Structure within a cell with a specific function |
Cellular respiration | The process that occurs in mitochondria where the cell breaks down chemical energy (food) into usable energy |
3 fatty acids and a glycerol | triglyceride |
Active site | Place where the enzyme and substrate meet |
Ase | All enzymes end in ase |
CHON | Organic compounds used to make up a protein |
Catalyst | Speeds up reactions |
CHON | What proteins are made of |
Denature | To break down and make useless |
Enzyme | Specialized protein |
Substrate | Substance |
Smash test | An indicator for lipids |
Protein uses | Muscle contractions, immunities and metabolic processes |
Peptide bonds | A protein bond attaching acids into a long protein chain |
Nonsoluble | Can not dissolve in water |
Lipid uses | Waterproofing, insulation and long term energy |
Fats and oils | lipids |
