Matrix | A thick fluid inside mitochondria |
Microfilament | A long cytoskeleton fiber used to move the cell |
Microtubule | A tube0like cytoskeleton fiber used by organelles to move around |
Mitochondrion | An energy organelle that converts energy from bonds in glucose into ATP |
Nuclear Envelope | The membrane surrounding the nucleus of a cell |
Nucleolus | A vall of fibers in the nucleus that makes ribosomes |
Passive Transport | The movement of molecules across a membrane when the movement requires no energy |
Photosynthesis | A process that chloroplasts use to convert energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose |
Plasma Membrane | The membrane that surrounds a cell and separates it from the environment |
Plasmodesmata | Openings in the cell wall used for communication and transport of molecules |
Pore | A hole in the nuclear envelope used to send and receive messages |
