A | B |
NUCLEUS | large, oval structure found in both plant and animal cells. It controls and regulates all cell activities. It contains genetic material. |
CELL | the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms |
CELL MEMBRANE | *support *protection *controls movement of materials in/out of cell *barrier between cell and its environment *maintains homeostasis |
CYTOPLASM | thick, jellylike substance found in both plant and animal cells filling the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane. It contains and supports the cell organelles. This constantly in motion. |
CHLOROPLAST | uses energy from sun to make food for the plant (photosynthesis) |
NUCLEOLUS | SITE OF RIBOSOME SYNTHESIS & ASSEMBLY |
RIBOSOMES | SYNTHESIZE PROTEINS BY LINKING AMINO ACIDS |
CHLOROPLASTS | FOUND IN PLANT CELL & CONTAINS THE CHEMICAL CHLORPHYLL |
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM | an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube like structures known as cisternae with ribosomes attached |
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM | Transports and modifies organelles, highway for cell. Processes carbohydrates, lipids, fats and such. No ribosomes on this organelle |
LYSOSOME | Contains digestive enzymes necessary for breaking down materials within a cell |
MITOCHONDRIA | Provides energy to cell. Have a double membrane. The outside is smooth but the inner is highly folded to increase its surface area. Cellular respiration is performed here, making energy (ATP) for the cell. Has its own DNA and ribosomes - Powerhouse of the cell |
CYTOSKELETON | Helps maintain cell shape. Its primary importance is in cell motility. It makes the cell move internally and externally. |
EUKARYOTIC | An organism with cells characteristic of all life forms except primitive microorganisms such as bacteria |
PROKARYOTIC | A single‐celled organism that lacks a membrane‐bound nucleus and specialized organelles. |
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE/ENVELOPE | Double membrane that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. Contains nuclear pores that controls what goes in and out of the cell. |
DNA | Hereditary information that gets passed on during reproduction. It also directs the cells activities while not dividing. Responsible for the production of proteins. |
NUCLEOPLASM | Fluid in the nucleus. |
PLASMA (CELL) MEMBRANE | Regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Defines the area of the cell. Separates the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. |
NUCLEUS | Contains the hereditary information (DNA). Controls the cell by providing the information to make specific proteins. |
VESICLES | - Form by pinching off from other membranes. - Fuse with other membranes when they come into contact. - Used to transport materials. |
ORGANELLE | cell parts with specialized function |
CYTOSKELETON | A network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps support the cell |
CHROMATIN | A material in cells that contains DNA and carries genetic information |
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM | responsible for the production and secretion of steroid hormones. |
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM | functions for detoxification, which is the removal of all the toxic materials such as (metabolic wastes or drugs) |
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM | associated with protein synthesis and also plays a vital role in protein folding |
CYTOLOGY | STUDY OF CELLS |
EUKARYOTIC | An organism with cells characteristic of all life forms except primitive microorganisms such as bacteria |

DNA | Hereditary information that gets passed on during reproduction. It also directs the cells activities while not dividing. Responsible for the production of proteins. |
EU | true |
KARY | nucleus |
CELL MEMBRANE | thin membrane that forms the outer surface of the protoplasm of a cell and regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell |
CYTOPLASM | fluid that fills the cell, which includes the cytosol along with filaments, proteins, ions and macromolecular structures as well as the organelles suspended in the cytosol. |
NUCLEUS | membrane-bound structure that contains a cell's hereditary information and controls its growth and reproduction. |
ADENINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP) | a result of cellular respiration--energy-carrying molecule essential for all living organisms |
CILIA | multiple tiny hair-like appendages present on the eukaryotic cell surface that provides a means of locomotion |
FLAGELLA | microscopic hair-like structures involved in the locomotion of a cell. |
