7760121042Plasmodesmataholes and channels in the cell wall that connect adjacent cells; allows stuff to pass through plant cells only4
7760121043Tight JunctionsEstablish barriers that prevents leakage between cells animal cells only5
7760121044DesmosomesJoins two cells together by the cytoskeleton joins by rivets into strong sheets animal cells only6
7760121045Gap JunctionsConnects two adjacent cells, allows subjects to pass through tunnels; animal cells only7
7760121046Contractile VacuoleOsmoregulation Takes water from cell then pushes the water out through cell membrane or wall Protists and algae8
7760121047Cell MembraneProtects cell from surroundings Allows certain substances in, keeps others out Phospholipid bilayer with proteins9
7760121048NucleusBrain of cell contains dna10
7760121049NucleolusNon-membranus structure involved in production of ribosomes; located in the nucleus11
7760121050CentriolesSmall microtubles arranged in specific ways aids in cell division Animal only12
7760121051Ribosomescomplexes that makes proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope13
7760121052Golgi Apparatusorganelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products14
7760121053Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough+Smoothnetwork of membranous sacs and tubes active in making and transporting proteins and lipids15
7760121054Mitochondriaorganelle where cellular resperation occurs and most ATP is generated16
7760121055Lysosomesdigestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down); autophagy; apoptosis animal only17
7760121057Microtubleschromosome movement, cell division processes, and maintains cell shape MOVING CELL PARTS18
7760121058Microfilamentshelps with cell movement, gives shape,cytoplasmic streaming Thinnest filament thin, solid rods actin, myosin INVOLVED in MUSCLE CONTRACTION19
7760121059Intermediate Filamentsshape cell, maintains positions of some organelles proteins (keratin) in coils20
7760121060Central VacuoleLargest organelle in plant cell; maintains turgor pressure because it is inflated with water. plant only21
7760121061Cell Wallouter layer that maintains cell's shape and protects from damage made of cellulose and other polysachrides, and proteins Plant only22
7760121062Cilialocated on outside of cell. pushes cell forward; short, numerous, and hair-like23
7760121063Flagellumlocated on the outside of a cell; used for locomotion whip like structure made of microtubles; 9 pair ring outside, 1 pair inside24
7760121064Centrosomemade of two centrioles; helps rearrange the cytoskeleton for cell division25
7760121065Prokaryoteno membrane bound organelles, no nucleus, free ribosomes and cell wall, single circular DNA26
7760121066Eukaryotemembrane bound organelles, multiple linear DNA, histones on DNA27
