Chapter 4 - Cell LIST #2

AB
chloroplasta plastid containing chlorophyll; the site of photosynthesis
ciliuma short, hairlike organelle that extends from a cell and functions in locomotion or in the movement of substances across the cell surface
chromatinthe DNA and proteins in the nucleus of a nondividng cell
chromosomeDNA and protein in a coiled, rod-shaped form that occurs during cell division
flagelluma hairlike structure made up of microtubules that function in locomotion
integral proteina protein imbedded in the bilayer of the cell membrane
microfilamenta polymer chain of the protein actin; the smallest strand in the cytoskeleton
microtubulea hollow tube of protein that constitutes the largest strand in the cytoskeleton
nuclear envelopea double membrane that surrounds the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell
nuclear matrixnucleoplasm; the nuclear skeleton, a shape-maintaining protein
nuclear porea small hole in the nuclear envelope through which substances pass between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
nucleolusthe structure in which ribosomes are synthesized and partially assembled; found in most nuclei
peripheral proteina protein attached to the interior or exterior surface of the cell membrane
selectively permeable membranea membrane that keeps out some molecules but allows others to pass through
spindle fiberone of the microtubules that extend across a dividing eukaryotic cell; assisits in the movement of chromosomes
thylakoida flattened, membranous sac inside a chloroplast; contains most of the components involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis
colonial organisma collection of genetically identical cells that live together in a closely connected group
