Organelles!! Flashcards

3251359216	Cell Wall	Outside of a plant cell that supports and protects it	0
3251362598	Vacuole	Stores material such as water, salts, proteins and carbs	1
3251364582	Chloroplast	captures energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy (food) in a process called photosynthesis	2
3251368388	Nucleus	Brain of the cell, contains all the cell's DNA with coded instructions for making proteins and other molecules	3
3251374122	Flagella	Whip-like organelle used for movement	4
3251377234	Cilia	Tiny hair-like structures used for movement	5
3251378962	Pseudopod	Extensions of the cytoplasm used to move single celled organisms	6
3251383830	Lysosomes	Organelle filled enzymes. Breaks down lipids, carbs, and proteins. Remove "junk" from cells and old organelles	7
3251390222	Chromosomes	Threadlike structures that contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to another. Coiled up DNA, contain genetic information	8
3251399029	Ribosomes	Particles of RNA and protein that produce proteins with instructions from the nucleus	9
3251404589	Mitochondria	Converts chemical energy (food) stored in food to a more usable form of energy (POWERHOUSE)	10
3251409344	Cell Membrane	Regulates what enters and leaves a cell	11
3251412643	Nucleolus	Dense region of the nucleus where ribosomes are made	12
3251414703	Cytoplasm	Water based jelly-like substance outside the nucleus	13
3251425097	Endoplasmic Reticulum	The site of assembly and production of proteins, lipids, and other materials	14
3251430731	Golgi Apparatus	Modify, sort and package proteins and other material for storage or secretion	15
3251437777	Centrioles	Organizes cell division located near the nucleus	16
3251444300	Vesicles	Membrane bound sac that transports proteins and other materials from the Golgi Apparatus to other parts of the cell	17
3314974882	Prokaryotic Cell	Cell with NO nucleus, very simple, been around for millions of years. Example: Bacteria	18
3314982234	Eukaryotic Cell	Cell with NUCLEUS, membrane-bound organelles, very complex. Examples: Plant cells, animal cells, fungi	19
