Cell Organelles and Structures

A set of vocabulary flashcards describing the function and presence of various cell organelles in prokaryotes, plants, and animals based on the lecture's graphic organizer.

Plasma/Cell Membrane

The cell structure that controls what enters and exits the cell; it is present in prokaryotes, plant cells, and animal cells.

Cytoplasm

A cell component found in prokaryotes, plants, and animals as part of the Organelles Graphic Organizer.

Ribosome

An organelle present in prokaryotes, plant cells, and animal cells.

Nucleus

A membrane-bound organelle found in both plant and animal cells.

Chloroplast

An organelle specified in the graphic organizer for plant cells.

Mitochondrion

An organelle involved in energy production found in both plant and animal cells.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

An organelle found in plant and animal cells that exists in varieties such as Rough ER and Smooth ER.

Golgi Body/Apparatus

An organelle responsible for processing and packaging, found in plant and animal cells.

Vacuole

A storage organelle found in both plant and animal cells.

Lysosome

An organelle listed specifically within the animal cell category of the graphic organizer.

Cell Wall

A rigid outer layer present in prokaryotic cells and plant cells, but not animal cells.

Flagellum

A whip-like structure listed as a component of prokaryotic cells.

DNA

The genetic material identified in the prokaryote section of the cell structure notes.

Nucleosome

A structure listed in the animal cell category of the Organelles Graphic Organizer.

Rough ER

A specific type of Endoplasmic Reticulum listed under plant cell structures.

Smooth ER

A specific type of Endoplasmic Reticulum listed under plant cell structures.
