5266652710 | nucleus | contains DNA, surrounded by selectively permeable nuclear membrane (envelope) | 0 | |
5266652711 | nuclear membrane | contains pores to allow for transport of molecules such as RNA | 1 | |
5266652712 | nucleolus | synthesis of ribosomes | 2 | |
5266652713 | ribosomes | synthesis of proteins | 3 | |
5266652714 | Smooth ER | 3 functions: assists in synthesis of lipids, connects rough ER to Golgi, Carries out various detoxification processes | 4 | |
5266652715 | Rough ER | site of protein synthesis (attached ribosomes) | 5 | |
5266652716 | Golgi Body/Apparatus | surrounded by vesicles, packages substances produced in rough ER: secrete them to other parts of cell for export | 6 | |
5266652717 | lysosomes | sacs of hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes—site of intracellular digestion, assists in apoptosis (programmed destruction of cells) | 7 | |
5266652718 | cytoplasm | thick liquid between membrane, holds organelles, most cellular activites occur here, ex: glycolysis | 8 | |
5266652719 | Vacuoles | structures for storage | 9 | |
5266652720 | Vescicles | transport things | 10 | |
5266652721 | mitochondria | site of cellular respiration—have an outder double membrane, inner series of membranes called cristae. contain own DNA | 11 | |
5266652722 | chloroplasts | site of photosynthesis, have inner membrane that forms series of structures called grana (stack of thylakoids), found in the stroma. Contain own DNA | 12 | |
5266652723 | cytoskeleton | complex network of protein filaments—gives cell its shape, enables it to move, anchors organelles to plasma membrane. includes microtubules and microfilaments. | 13 | |
5266652726 | tubulin (microtubule) | hollow tubes made of protein tubulin that make up cilia, flagella, and spindle fibers | 14 | |
5266652727 | cell membrane | protects/encloses cell—allows some substances to travel out of/into cell. isolates cell's contents, regulates movement of substances into/out of cell, communicates with other cells—made of fluid mosaic phopholipid bilayer | 15 | |
5266652728 | cell wall | made of cellulose, found in plants, algae. cell walls of fungi made of chitin. primary cell wall-immediately outside plasma membrane. secondary cell wall—second series outside of primary layer. during cytokinesis, middle lamella or cell plate forms. | 16 | |
5266652729 | Differences between plant/animal cells | a. plants have cell wall b. plants have chloroplasts c. animals have centrioles | 17 | |
5266652730 | 3 functions of cell membrane | i.Isolate cell's contents from external environment ii.Regulate mvmt of substances into and out of cell iii.Communicate with other cells | 18 | |
5266652732 | Surface area/volume ratio | The surface area: volume ratio decreases as cells grow bigger. As the diameter of sphere grows bigger, the surface area grows smaller. This allows less room for substances to diffuse into/out of cell and makes the diffusion distance (from center of cell to membrane) bigger. | 19 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
