7667751566FlagellumMotility structure. Present in some eukaryotic, animal cells and some prokaryotic cells.0
7667751567CytoskeletonReinforces cell's shape; functions in cell movement; components are made of protein.1
7667751569MitochondrionOrganelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated2
7667751570LysosomeOrganelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed3
7667751571Golgi AppartusOrganelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting and secretion of cellular products.4
7667751572RibosomesComplexes that make proteins. Free in cytosol or bound to rough endoplasmic reticulum.5
7667751573Plasma MembraneMembrane enclosing the cell6
7667751574Nucleusorganelle containing DNA7
7667751575NucleolusWhere rRNA is made, proteins are imported, and ribosomes are assembled.8
7667751576ChromatinDNA & Proteins9
7667751577ChromosomesDNA & Proteins (Highly condensed)10
7667751578Nuclear Envelopedouble membrane enclosing the nucleus11
7667751579Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumMakes proteins, distributes transport vesicles. Type of ER.12
7667751580Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumMakes lipids & Detoxifies poisons13
7667751581VacuoleProminent organelle in plant cells. Contains water.14
7667751582ChloroplastPhotosynthetic organelle15
7667751583Cell wallFound in prokaryotic cells as well as eukaryotic plant cells. Outer layer that maintains shape and protects cell.16
7667751584ProkaryotesUnicellular organism lacking membrane bound organelles17
7667751585EukaryotesUnicellular or multicullelar organisms with membrane mound organelles.18
7667751586Transport VesicleVesicles in transport from one part of the cell to another.19
7667767625Cell TheoryStates that all living things are composed of cells and that all cells come from other cells20
7667773227Plasma MembraneForms a flexible boundary between the living cell and it's surroundings21
7667775796CytosolBeing bounded by a plasma membrane, the interior of all cells is filled with a thick, jellylike fluid22
