| A | B |
|---|
| DNA | Deoxyribonucleic acid, genetic material , located in the nucleus of animal and plant cells |
| Cellulose | A component of cell walls for support found ONLY in plant cells |
| RNA | Ribnonucleic acid, three types( t-RNA, r-RNA, & m-RNA) invlolved in the production of proteins in the cytoplasm |
| Nucleus | A membrane bound organelle , containing DNA, the control center of the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Found inside the cell membrane, organelles float in the gel-like substance, surrounds the nuclear membrane |
| Cell/Plasma Membrane/Envelope | The outer most part of ALL cells. Seperates the cell contents from materials outside the cell. |
| Cell Wall | The outer boundary of Plant cells. Usually composed of cellulose and gives plants their ability to stand upright without bones. |
| Central Vacuole | Large internal space found in plant cells used to store waste products. |
| Centriole | Cylindrical organelles found in the cytoplasm of animal cells only, which aids in the movment of chromosomes during cell divisision. |
| Cilia | Short, numerous, organized threadlike organelles that continously beat. Found in the human ear, lining of the windpipe, outside of paramecium, plus others |
| Chromosome | Found inside the nucleus, rod-shaped structures, composed of DNA and proteins(histones) |
| Cytoskeleton | Found in eukaryotic cells. Gives the cells their shape and structure. Found in the cytoplasm and is a mesh-like network. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Referred to as ER, internal membranes which are the molecular highways for moving molecules |
| Eukaryotic | Cells with internal compartments. They have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Ex. You, plants, algae, others |
| Prokaryotic | Single-celled organisms without any internal membrane-bound compartments.Oldest Fossils are this type of cells. |
| Flagella | Long threadlike organelles that stick out of the surface of eukaryotic cells and are used for locomotion(movement) |
| Golgi Appartus | Found in the cytoplasm and is the Packaging and Distribution center of the cell. |
| Lysosome | Organelles that contain the cell's digestive enzymes. |
| Mitochondrion | The POWERHOUSE of the Cell. The cells electric company so to speak. They release the stored energy of food. |
| Nuclear Membrane/Envelope | Double membrane surrounding the nucleus. |
| Organelle | Small specific membrane bound compartments that carry out a specific function in the cell. Found in the cytoplasm. |
| Ribosome | The structures on which proteins are made. Composed of r-RNA. Free floating membrane bound and found in the cytoplasm |
| Vesicle | Membrane enclosed sacs found in the cytoplasm. |
| ATP | The energy currency of the cell. Produced by the mitochondrion |
| Nuclear Pores | Narrow passageways that control the flow of certain molecules in and out of the cell nucleus, locate in the nuclear membrane/envelope. |
| Chloroplasts | Organelles found in plants, euglena and algae.The site where photosynthesis takes place. |
| Photosynthesis | The process of capturing the energy from the sun into stored chemical energy. |
| Peroxisomes | Small vesicles originated from the ER and contains several kinds of enzymes. |
| Enzyme | Proteins that speed up the rate of a specific chemical reaction. |
| Molecule | A group of atoms held together by covalent bonds(shared electrons). |
