Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 963470592 | Cell membrane | A thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell | 0 | |
| 963470593 | Microfilament | Long, thin fibers that function in the movement and support of the cell | 1 | |
| 963470594 | Anchoring junction | Help ties two cells (and can bind muscles) to one another | 2 | |
| 963470595 | Communicating junction | Junction that allow material to pass from one cell to another cell | 3 | |
| 963470596 | Tight junction | Impermeable, bind cells together into leak-proof sheets | 4 | |
| 963470597 | Plasmodesmata | Channels between adjacent plant cells | 5 | |
| 963470598 | Glyoxysome | Found in plants and contain enzymes that convert lipids into carbohydrates. | 6 | |
| 963470599 | Cilia | Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion | 7 | |
| 963470600 | Chloroplast | An organelle containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis | 8 | |
| 963470601 | Cell wall | A rigid barrier for plant cells that protect and maintain the shape of a plant. | 9 | |
| 963470602 | Central vacuole | A membranous sac in a mature plant cell with diverse roles in reproduction, growth, and development. | 10 | |
| 963470603 | Flagellum | A long, hairlike structure that grows out of a cell and enables the cell to move. | 11 | |
| 963470604 | Centriole | Are located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division. | 12 | |
| 963470605 | Lysosome | Break down food particles and waste. | 13 | |
| 963470606 | Peroxisome | Breaks down fatty acid molecules. | 14 | |
| 963470607 | Nucleolus | A specialized structure in the nucleus, formed from various chromosomes and active in the synthesis of ribosomes. | 15 | |
| 963470608 | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Responsible for moving ribosomes from the nucleus to the cytoplasm; this is where many proteins are created. | 16 | |
| 963470609 | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | Responsible for making lipids and breaking down toxic chemicals from all parts of the cell. | 17 | |
| 963470610 | Golgi Apparatus | Modifies, stores, and packages substances produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It then secretes these subtances to other parts of the cell and to the cell surface for export to other cells. | 18 | |
| 963470611 | Mitochondrion | Is the cite of cellular respiration. All cells contain this. Contains own DNA and can self-replicate. Creates energy (ATP) for the cell. | 19 | |
| 963470612 | Microtubules | Responsible for the various kinds of movements in all eukaryotic cells. | 20 | |
| 963470613 | Intermediate filament | Is made up of fibrous proteins organized into touch, ropelike assemblages that stabilize a cell's structure and help maintain its shape. | 21 | |
| 963470614 | Nucleus | Center control of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction. | 22 | |
| 963470615 | Ribosome | A cell organelle composed of RNA and protein; the site of protein synthesis. | 23 | |
| 963470616 | Cytoplasm | Suspends and holds together the organelles, apart from the nucleus. It also supports the cell structure and makes it possible for molecules to be transported throughout the cell. Nutrients are absorbed here and processed. | 24 |
