Biology-Cell Voc. Part II

AB
Mitochondriasite of cellular respiration in the cell; considered the powerhouse of the cell
microtubuleslong hollow structures found in the cytoplasm; serve as a sort of "skeleton" for the cell
microfilamentslong, threadlike stands found in some cells; made of protein called actin and are associated with cell movement
centriolescylindrical bodies that lie at right angles to each other; found mostly in animal cells; involved in cell reproduction
ciliahair like bristles involved with movement; paramecium
flagellaa long hairs used for whip-like movement
vacuolestemporary storage areas for food or water; smaller in animal cells and quite large in plant cells
Plastidsmembrane-enclosed storage structures found in photosynthetic plants;2 main types-leucoplasts and chromoplasts
Leucoplastscolorless plastids which store starch and other plant nutrients
Chromoplastscontain the pigements that give colors to fruits, flowers and leaves; the most important type is chloroplasts
chloroplastsplastid that contains the green pigment chlorophyll; site of photosynthesis
chlorophyllthe gren pigment used to capture sunlight used for photosynthesis
granastacks of photosynthetic membranes inside the chlorophyll
stromathe protein-containing material that fills the chloroplast
