Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 7575199296 | Cytoskeleton | Maintains cell shape and moves both the cell and its organelles |  | 0 |
| 7575199297 | Mitochondria | Uses chemical energy in food to make usable compounds; powerhouse of the cell; produces energy (ATP) for the cell |  | 1 |
| 7575199298 | Chloroplasts | Uses sunlight to make food for the cell; only in plant cells |  | 2 |
| 7575199299 | Ribosomes | Makes proteins |  | 3 |
| 7575199300 | Nucleus | Contains DNA; "brain" of the cell |  | 4 |
| 7575199301 | Nucleolus | Makes ribosomes |  | 5 |
| 7575199302 | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Assembles lipid and carbohydrates; detoxification; sends to Golgi Apparatus |  | 6 |
| 7575199303 | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Assembles proteins; sends to Golgi Apparaturus; has ribosomes attached |  | 7 |
| 7575199304 | Cell/Plasma Membrane | Monitors what material enters and leaves the cell; protects and supports the cell; in BOTH plant and animal cells |  | 8 |
| 7575199305 | Cell Wall | Shapes, supports, and protects the cell; only in plant cells |  | 9 |
| 7575199306 | Golgi Apparatus/Body | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids; sends to storage or outside of cell |  | 10 |
| 7575199307 | Lysosomes | Breaks down and recycles lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates; "trash can" of the cell |  | 11 |
| 7575199308 | Cytoplasm | Gel-like fluid that fills the cell; mostly water and salt |  | 12 |
| 7575199309 | Centrioles | Involved in cell reproduction |  | 13 |
| 7575199310 | Vacuoles | Stores water and nutrients; much bigger in plant cells |  | 14 |
| 7575199311 | Prokaryote | A cell with no nucleus or organelles |  | 15 |
| 7575199312 | Eukaryote | A cell with nucleus and organelles |  | 16 |
| 7575199313 | Animal cell | A cell with no chloroplasts, no cell walls, and small vacuoles |  | 17 |
| 7575199314 | Plant cell | A cell with chloroplasts, a cell wall, and a large vacuole |  | 18 |
| 7575247679 | Microtubule | part of cytoskeleton; tube of protein molecules present in cytoplasm, centrioles, cilia, and flagella; made of tubulin |  | 19 |
| 7575260560 | Intermediate filament | part of cytoskeleton; intertwined protein fibers that provide support and strength and are the middle size |  | 20 |
| 7575272496 | Microfilament | part of cytoskeleton; twisted protein fibers that are responsible for cell movement; made of actin |  | 21 |
| 7575294608 | Peroxisome | detoxifies certain chemicals through oxidation reactions, metabolizes fatty acids, synthesizes certain phospholipids |  | 22 |
| 7575302686 | Nuclear envelope | double membrane between the nucleus and the cytoplasm with pores for opening |  | 23 |
| 7575333905 | Vesicles | Transports material to be excreted or taken in by cell; created by cell membrane, golgi, etc. |  | 24 |
| 7575350919 | Extracellular matrix | ECM can regulate a cell's behavior by communicating with a cell through integrins; made up of glycoproteins such as collagen, proteoglycans, and fibronectin |  | 25 |
| 7575358554 | Plasmodesmata | channels that perforate plant cell walls; microscopic channels that enable transport and communication |  | 26 |
