Cell Review

Review for the parts, functions, and chemical composition of cells.

AB
Eucaryotecell that has a distinct nucleus
Procaryotecell that does not have a distinct nucleus
DNAmain substance found in chromatin
plasma membraneexternal boundary of the cytoplasm
phagocytosis"cellular eating"
pinocytosis"cellular drinking"
chloroplastsportion of the cell where photosynthesis occurs
cytologystudy of cells
organellescell parts
protoplasm"chemical factory"
nucleoplasmprotoplasm inside the nucleus
cytoplasmprotoplasm outside the nucleus
metabolismsum total of all chemical reactions
anabolismconstructive phase
catabolismdestructive phase
nutritionobtaining food and raw material for energy
digestionbreaking down food to smaller size
excretionremoval of excess waste
cellular respirationprocess of releasing energy from food molecules
biosynthesisbuilding material needed for life
absorptionintake of necessary chemicals
responseability to react to environmental stimuli
secretionrelease of manufactured material to the outside
egestionrelease of undigestable food materials
unicellularbacteria, yeast, protozoa, algae
multicellularmany-celled organism
interdependencyparts rely on each other
cell membrane"gatekeeper"
cell membraneouter, porous, living boundary, singel membrane
cell membranelipoprotein
mitochondria"powerhouse"
mitochondriacigar-shaped, 2 membranes
mitochondrialipoprotein
mitochondriasite of cellular respiration
Endoplasmic reticulum"canal system"
Rough E.R.with ribosomes
Smooth E.R.no ribosomes
E.R.transport
ribosomes"protein factories"
Ribosomesprotein synthesis
Golgi bodies/apparatus"packing and shipping department"
vacuolesremoval of excess water
vacuoleshold water soluble pigments
lysosomes"suicide sacs"
microfilamentslong, thread-like structures made of proteins
microtubuleslong, thin, tubular structures made of proteins
microtubulesmake up cilia and flagella
plastidsfound only in plant and plant-like cells
Chloroplast"food factory"
Chlolorplastgreen, egg-shaped, double membraned structure
Chlorophyllgreen pigment found in chloroplast
choloroplastsite of photosynthesis
chromoplastsprovide color for insect attraction
leukoplastsa.k.a. amyloplasts
leukoplastsstore starch or lipids
centrioleshelp in animal cell division
ciliumshort, hair-like structures that help an organism move
flagellumlong,whip-like structures that help and organism move
cell wallouter, non-living boundary of plants, funge, and most bacteria
cell wallmade of cellulose and pectic
nucleus"control center"
nuclear membraneporous, double membrane boundary between the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm
nucleolusgolf ball-shaped structure made of DNA,RNA, and proteins
nucleolusproduces ribosomes
