1
New cards
Mitochondrion
________: Produces ATP, which is the energy needed for the cell to work appropriately.
2
New cards
Cytoplasm
________: Surrounds all other organelles and is the space in which the cellular metabolism is carried.
3
New cards
Golgi apparatus
________: Works as a packaging center.
4
New cards
Cytoskeleton
________: Provides structure and intracellular transportation, made up of a system of fibers in the cytoplasm.
5
New cards
Eukaryotic
________: They do have membrane- bound organelles.
6
New cards
Centrioles
________: The position of this organelle within the cell determines where the other organelles are, and is fundamental for cell division.
7
New cards
Nuclear membrane
________: Has pores that allow the matter to enter and leave the genetic material in the nucleus.
8
New cards
Lysosome
________: Contains digestive enzymes for material that should be broken down or for apoptosis, which kills the cell when it becomes dangerous.
9
New cards
Nucleus
________: Stores the genetic material of the cell, controls the cellular tasks, and decides the type of cell it will be.
10
New cards
Smooth ER
________: In charge of detoxification, and it produces lipids (for secondary energy source and insulation for the cell membrane)
11
New cards
Prokaryotic
________: No membrane- bound organelles, they do not have nuclei.
12
New cards
vacuole
A(n) ________ is an example of a vesicle.
13
New cards
Chloroplast
________: Has chlorophyll, and performs photosynthesis.
14
New cards
Cell membrane
________: Is semi- permeable, controlling what leaves and enters the cell.
15
New cards
Ribosomes
________: They are responsible for protein synthesis, and they can be found free or attached to other organelles.
16
New cards
Vesicles
________: Sacs that work as containers.
17
New cards
Cell wall
________: Additional to the cell membrane, simply maintains shape it is completely permeable.
18
New cards
Ribosomal RNA
Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes on the inside of the nucleus with ________.
19
New cards
Vacuoles
________: Although animal cells do have them but in a smaller size.
