Cell Parts and Organelles
Review of the major cellular organelles and cell parts.
Terms : Hide Images [1]
| material between the cell membrane and the nucleus | ||
| two membranes surrounding the nucleus allowing materials to move both in and out. | ||
| long strands of DNA found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus; condense to form chromosomes | ||
| a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction; the "command center" of the cell. | ||
| The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus | ||
| small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein. Free floating or attached to the rough ER. | ||
| Part of the cell's internal membrane system studded with ribosomes; helps to transport and export materials through and from the cell. | ||
| Part of the cell's internal membrane system which helps to transport and export materials throughout the cell and assemble lipid-based components of the cell membrane. | ||
| Organelle associated with the ER; modifyies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials for storage or secretion. | ||
| Enzyme-filled organelles serving as "clean-up crews" digesting organic molecules for the cell's use. | ||
| Saclike storage structures in the cell. | ||
| The site of cellular respiration; the "power house" of the cell! | ||
| The site of photosynthesis; energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy. | ||
| Microfilaments and microtubules that help the cell maintain shape and/or move. | ||
| Hair-like projections on the cell surface used for locamotion or the movement of fluid over a cell. | ||
| Most often a single hair-like that allows a cell to move. | ||
| Located near the nucleus; this cell part helps to organize cell division. | ||
| The semi-permeable phospholipid bilayer surrounding a cell. | ||
| The structure outside of the cell membrane that is used to provide support and protection. Present in plants, alagae, fungi, and many prokaryotes. |
