Cards

Term
Plasma membrane (cell boundaries)
Definition
lipid bilayer that protects and supports cell. Selectively permeable.
Term
Cell Wall (cell boundaries)
Definition
Support/shape/protect plant / semipermeable
Term
Nucleus (makes proteins)
Definition
Holds DNA, surrounded by nuclear envelope
Term
Ribosomes (makes protein)
Definition
Produced by nucleolus, some roam free in cytoplasm and others attach to the ER
Term
Rough ER (make proteins)
Definition
Proteins made at ribosomes are and are inserted into rough ER, modifies/tags proteins, tells cell where to send the proteins
Term
Golgi Apparatus (makes proteins)
Definition
- between ER and cell membrane
modifies, sorts and packages proteins from rough ER, sends finished proteins by vesicles, forms lysosomes (“FedEx” of the cell)
Term
Lysosomes (store, clean up, support)
Definition
contains enzymes to digest/break down materials.
Term
Vacuoles (store, clean, support)
Definition
Storage
Term
Vesicles (store, clean, support)
Definition
transport materials out of / throughout the cell
Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Term
Cytoskeleton (store, clean, support)
Definition
meshwork that allows movement
Term
Smooth ER (store, clean, support)
Definition
helps make lipids, site of detoxification (alcohol and sedatives)
Term
Chloroplasts (capture and release energy)
Definition
contain chlorophyll to capture light for photosynthesis
Term
Mitochondria (capture and release energy)
Definition
holds/site of ATP production
Term
Protein Production / Secretion
Definition
Ribosome makes protein, sends it to rough ER where it is modified, sends it to Golgi where it is sorted and packaged and then sent out of or throughout the cell
Term
Prokaryotic Cells
Definition
no nucleus
unicellular (usually)
no ER, lysosome, mitochondria, cytoskeleton, or golgi
examples: bacteria
Term
Eukaryotic Cells
Definition
nucleus present
multicellular (usually)
examples: animals and plants
Term
Animal Cells
Definition
glycogen, multiple small vacuoles, centrioles
Term
Plant Cells
Definition
cell wall (cellulose), starch, chloroplasts, one central vacuole.
Term
Animal and plant cells
Definition
ribosomes, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, cell membrane.
Term
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic life processes
Definition
cell respiration, cell division, hydrolysis, protein synthesis, dehydration synthesis
