JH23-CYTOLOGY I VOCAB-ORGANELLES

ASSIGNED MONDAY (10/2)-LOG 15 MINUTES BY 10 PM THURSDAY

AB
NUCLEUSlarge, oval structure found in both plant and animal cells. It controls and regulates all cell activities. It contains genetic material.
CELLthe 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
CYTOPLASMthick, 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.
CHLOROPLASTuses energy from sun to make food for the plant (photosynthesis)
NUCLEOLUSSITE OF RIBOSOME SYNTHESIS & ASSEMBLY
RIBOSOMESSYNTHESIZE PROTEINS BY LINKING AMINO ACIDS
CHLOROPLASTSFOUND IN PLANT CELL & CONTAINS THE CHEMICAL CHLORPHYLL
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMan interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube like structures known as cisternae with ribosomes attached
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMTransports and modifies organelles, highway for cell. Processes carbohydrates, lipids, fats and such. No ribosomes on this organelle
LYSOSOMEContains digestive enzymes necessary for breaking down materials within a cell
MITOCHONDRIAProvides 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
CYTOSKELETONHelps maintain cell shape. Its primary importance is in cell motility. It makes the cell move internally and externally.
EUKARYOTICAn organism with cells characteristic of all life forms except primitive microorganisms such as bacteria
PROKARYOTICA single‐celled organism that lacks a membrane‐bound nucleus and specialized organelles.
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE/ENVELOPEDouble membrane that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. Contains nuclear pores that controls what goes in and out of the cell.
DNAHereditary information that gets passed on during reproduction. It also directs the cells activities while not dividing. Responsible for the production of proteins.
NUCLEOPLASMFluid in the nucleus.
PLASMA (CELL) MEMBRANERegulates what enters and leaves the cell. Defines the area of the cell. Separates the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell.
NUCLEUSContains 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.
ORGANELLEcell parts with specialized function
CYTOSKELETONA network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps support the cell
CHROMATINA material in cells that contains DNA and carries genetic information
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMresponsible for the production and secretion of steroid hormones.
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMfunctions for detoxification, which is the removal of all the toxic materials such as (metabolic wastes or drugs)
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMassociated with protein synthesis and also plays a vital role in protein folding
CYTOLOGYSTUDY OF CELLS
EUKARYOTICAn organism with cells characteristic of all life forms except primitive microorganisms such as bacteria
CELLthe basic structural and functional unit of all organisms
DNAHereditary information that gets passed on during reproduction. It also directs the cells activities while not dividing. Responsible for the production of proteins.
EUtrue
KARYnucleus
CELL MEMBRANEthin membrane that forms the outer surface of the protoplasm of a cell and regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell
CYTOPLASMfluid 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.
NUCLEUSmembrane-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
CILIAmultiple tiny hair-like appendages present on the eukaryotic cell surface that provides a means of locomotion
FLAGELLAmicroscopic hair-like structures involved in the locomotion of a cell.
