Unite 3 Biology study guide

study for test

Golgi apparatus

An organelle that packs proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport and secretion within the cell.

Cell membrane

A thin protective covering around a cell that helps maintain homeostasis

Vacuole

A storage sac for food, water or waste

Chromatin

The nucleic acids that carry information for our cells DNA

Chloroplast

The Organelle that preforms photosynthesis to make glucose in plant cells

Cell wall

A thick stiff covering around plant cells made up of cellulose

Nucleus

An organelle that contains DNA/chromatin direct the activity of the cell reproduction

Mitochondria

The organelle that preforms cell respiration to provide the cell energy like ATP to function

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

An organelle that builds lipids and detoxifies waste molecules

Lysosomes

An organelle that contains chemicals that break down waste

Cytoplasm

The fluid between the nucleus and the cell membrane that holds the organelles

Ribosome

The organelle that makes proteins for the cell

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

This organelle is on the outside and is covered with ribosomes, it fold and packs the proteins so they can move throughout the cell

Centrioles

Organelles that help move chromosomes during cell replication

cytoskeleton

A protein fiber that support structure within the cytoplasm that determines cell movement such as shape and division

This protein requires energy to work

ATP

This has a hydrophobic and hydrophilic region; it forms the bilayer

Phospholipid

This protein picks up signals outside the cell and starts a reaction inside the cell

Receptor protein

This acts like a tube in the cell membrane, letting things flow in or out of the cell
