Term
Organelles
Definition
The small "organs" in a cell.
Term
Cell Wall
Definition
It's in plant cells only; gives support, made of cellulose, and controls what comes in and out.
Term
Vacuole
Definition
Store things. (water, food, waste products)
Term
Golgi Bodies
Definition
Receive proteins, distribute them. It's like a UPS truck.
Term
Chloroplasts
Definition
Plant cells only; make food
Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
It controls what comes in and out, helps give shape. It is in both plant and animal cells.
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Break down materials.
*like when a tadpole loses its tail*
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Controls the cell; made of nuclear envelope, chromatin, and the nucleolus.
Term
What does protein do?
Definition
It helps grow, build, and repair body parts.
Term
Name the four differences in plant and animal cells.
Definition
Plant cells have a cell wall; Plants have chloroplasts; Plant cells have large vacuole, but animal cells have many small ones; Lysosomes are usually only found in animal cells.
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Powerhouse of cell.
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Ribosomes make protein. In Endoplasmic Reticulum sometimes, but can be floating around other parts.
Term
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
E.R. with ribosomes in it.
Term
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
E.R. with ribosomes in it.
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum *any*
Definition
Carries proteins from one part of a cell to another.
