Week of 9/9 biology cells

Taking in of matter by a living cell

endocytosis

Cell moves large materials outside of the cell

exocytosis

The organelle that helps produce and metabolize lipids

Smooth E.R.

Organelle that contains digestive enzymes, allowing a “clean up” of the cell

Lysosomes

A spherical structure found in the nucleus, it synthesizes ribosomal RNA, creating ribosomes

Nucleolus

Individual sacs made from cell membrane material that contains materials for transport into or out of the cell.

Vesicles

A large structure in plant cells, containing mostly water, when the plant is adequately hydrated.

Central Vacuole

Small, complex proteins that assemble other proteins from amino acids.

Ribosomes

The organelle responsible for photosynthesis where energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.

Chloroplasts

Made of protein filaments, they allow cells to move, or to push items along.

Flagella/Cilia/Pili

Packages proteins into vesicles for movement out of or around the cell.

Golgi Apparatus

Not found in animals, this provides rigidity and support to cells.

Cell Wall

With a double membrane, this organelle performs cellular respiration, synthesizes ATP for energy in the cell.

Mitochondria

Contains the genetic material and “instructions” for the cell.

Nucleus

Synthesizes cellular material into ribosomes, that are visible along its surface.

Rough E.R

Organelle present in an animal cell that acts as the micro tubule organizing center of the cell.

Centrosome

A clynderic organism near the nucleus in animal cells, involved in devlopment of spindle fibers in cell division.

Centrioles

Large network of protein fibers that give shape and structure to the cell.

Cytoskeleton.

Pigment that gives plants green color and helps in photosynthesis .

Chlorophyll

In animal cells, small and help sequester waste product.

Small Vacuoles
