| Boundary between intracellular and extracellular environment. Regulates entry and exit of substances | ||
| a netlike array of protein filaments lining the inner surface of the nuclear envelope; it helps maintain the shape of the nucleus. | ||
| combination of DNA and protein molecules, in the form of long, thin fibers, making up the genetic material in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell | ||
| The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus | ||
| contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks, including the synthesis of membrane lipids, and the detoxification of drugs. Is free of ribosomes. | ||
| Organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and send proteins to their final destination | ||
| a large membrane covered structure found in plant cells that serves as a storage container for water and other liquids | ||
| organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use | ||
| One of a family of closely related plant organelles, including chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and amyloplasts (leucoplasts). | ||
| organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis | ||
| A microbody containing enzymes that transfer hydrogen from various substrates to oxygen, producing and then degrading hydrogen peroxide.. | ||
| a microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence | ||
| A solid rod of actin protein in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells, making up part of the cytoskeleton and acting alone or with myosin to cause cell contraction. | ||
| Open channels in the cell wall of a plant through which strands of cytosol connect from an adjacent cell. | ||
| specialized junctions that hold adjacent cell together, consist of dense plate at point of adhesion plus extracellular cementing material | ||
| small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and within a cell | ||
| a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell | ||
| structures in the nuclear envelope that allow passage of certain materials between the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm | ||
| The chemical substances located between connective tissue cells. | ||
| small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein | ||
| is a eukaryotic organelle that forms an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae within cells. Rough endoplasmic reticula synthesize proteins, studded with ribosomes. | ||
| cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down fats and polysaccarides | ||
| A membrane that encloses the central vacuole in a plant cell, separating the cytosol from the vacuolar contents, called cell sap; also known as the vacuolar membrane. | ||
| An infolding of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion that houses the electron transport chain and the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of ATP. | ||
| One of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope; play a role in cell division. | ||
| A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy to chemical energy. | ||
| The fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane; involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water. | ||
| straight, hollow tube of proteins that gives rigidity, shape, and organization to a cell. | ||
| A component of the cytoskeleton that includes all filaments intermediate in size between microtubules and microfilaments. | ||
| A type of intercellular junction in animal cells that prevents the leakage of material between cells. | ||
| A type of intercellular junction in animals that allows the passage of materials between cells. |
