Cards

Term
nucleus
Definition
"Control center" -contains DNA/genetic code for cellular operation -in plant and animal cells
Term
nuclear membrane
Definition
Selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the nucleus. -allows communication between the nucleus and cytoplams
Term
ribosomes
Definition
Non membrane-bound, the only organelle in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Is either attached to the RER or floating in the cytoplasm -Synthesizes protein molecules
Term
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
A system of folded channels outward from the nucleus, attached with ribosomes. Responible for synthesizing, modifying and packaging protein molecules for transport.
Term
smooth er
Definition
extension of RER. responsible for synthezing lipid molecule and detoxifying molecules
Term
golgi apparactus
Definition
-membranous sacs stacked in layers -cis and trans side -vesicles bud onto and off off -reponsible for shipping and receiving molecules
Term
mitochondria
Definition
-makes energy (ATP) from glucose and O2 during cellular respiration -has a highly folden inner and outer membrane called cristae and the inside called the matrix
Term
lysosomes
Definition
vesicles with enzymes that digest food and waste -can open and digest entire cell when they need to be replaced (autophagy)
Term
peroxisomes
Definition
vesicles containning a catalase enzyme that break down toxic H2O2 molecules formed by cr and ps
Term
vacuoles and vesicles
Definition
membranous sacs for transportation and storage of molecules fromed by organelles like the ER and Golgi
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
Watery matrix the suspends and supports all organelles. Contains important solutes and is the site of metabolic reactions
Term
centrosome and centrioles
Definition
Specialized microfilament involved in cell division (mitosis) in animal cells. Each cell has one centrosome and two centrioles (9 triplet) -centrioles anchor microfilaments
Term
tight junction
Definition
Protein molecules that fuse two cells together.
Term
tight junction
Definition
Protien molecules that attache cell membranes. Are leak proof.
Term
adhearing junctions/desmosomes
Definition
strong protien that hold animal cells together. Strong. Also anchors cytoskeleatl elements.
Term
gap junctions
Definition
pm provides channels bewteen cells so components of cytoplasm can flow from cell to cell
Term
central vacuole
Definition
In plants. Store water and minerals.
Term
tonoplast
Definition
surrounds the cental vacuole which regulates uptake, storage, and the release of store water and ions.
Term
cell wall
Definition
Supportive structure outside cell membrane with 2 layers. The 1st one form when the cell divides. The 2nd one formed when the cell finishes growing
Term
chloroplast
Definition
Photosynthesis (production of glucuse) Inner membrane called grana "coin" like.
Term
plasmodesmata
Definition
Protien molecules in plant cell that act like gap junctions
Term
nucleolus
Definition
tangled region of chromatin responsible for the synthesis of ribosomes. "dark region": within the nucleus
