| microscope that focuses a beam of electrons through the specimen. | ||
| jelly-like membrane in which organelles and other components are found. | ||
| cell in which most of DNA is in the nucleus. | ||
| cell in which DNA is concentrated in a region called the nucleoid. | ||
| region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane. | ||
| selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes to serve the entire cell. | ||
| organelle that contains most of the genes in the eukaryotic cell. | ||
| encloses the nucleus, separating its contents from the cytoplasm. | ||
| netlike array of protein filaments that maintains shape of the nucleus. | ||
| DNA is organized into discrete structures that carry the genetic information. | ||
| complex of proteins and DNA; chromosomes are made of these. | ||
| structure within the nucleus that synthesizes rRNA. | ||
| complexes that carry out protein synthesis. | ||
| comprised of all the membranes in a eukaryotic cell. | ||
| sacs made of membrane. | ||
| synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, and detoxification of drugs and poisons. | ||
| has ribosomes on it and makes a lot of protein | ||
| structure that modifies and stores products of ER, then sends to other destinations. | ||
| proteins that have carbohydrates covalently bonded to them. | ||
| vesicles in transit from one part of cell to another. | ||
| enzymes that digest macromolecules in cell. | ||
| process protists use to 'eat' smaller organisms and food particles. | ||
| vacuole formed by phagocytosis. | ||
| vacuole that pumps out excess water to maintain a suitable concentration of ions and molecules inside the cell. | ||
| vacuole that is specific to mature plant cells. | ||
| organelle that generates ATP by extracting energy from sugars. | ||
| organelle that converts solar energy into chemical energy to synthesize organic compounds. | ||
| oxidative organelle that imports its proteins from the cytosol. | ||
| inner membrane that divides mitochondrion into two compartments. | ||
| compartment which contains many enzymes in mitochondrion. | ||
| closely related plant organelles | ||
| flattened, interconnected sacs present in chloroplasts. | ||
| the 'stack' in a thylakoid. | ||
| fluid outside of a thylakoid, which contains chloroplast DNA and ribosomes. | ||
| network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm. (plays major role in organization of structures and activities in cell) | ||
| shapes and supports the cell; tracks along which organelles equipped with motor proteins can move. | ||
| region in which microtubule grows out from. | ||
| one of two small cylindrical cell organelles composes of 9 triplet microtubules | ||
| specialized arrangement of microtubules that helps movement of eukaryotes. | ||
| microtubule containing extensions that project from some cells. | ||
| twisted double chain of actin subunits. | ||
| A globular protein that links into chains, two of which twist helically about each other, forming microfilaments in muscle and other contractile elements in cells. | ||
| thousands of actin filaments arranged parallel to each other. | ||
| wall that protects the plant cell, maintains shape, and prevents excessive uptake of water. | ||
| glycoprotein in extracellular matrix that forms strong fibers outside the cell. | ||
| cell walls are perforated with these channels. | ||
| junction in which plasma membrane of neighboring cells are pressed against each other. | ||
| junction that fastens cells together into strong sheets. | ||
| junction that provides cytoplasmic channels from one cell to an adjacent cell. |
