Nucleus and DNA
This organelle is known as the “control center” of the cell
Nucleus
The cell membrane’s main job is to control what
Enters and Leaves the Cell
powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
This structure gives the cell shape and support.
Cytoskeleton
Animal cells have many small ones, while plant cells have one large one.
Vacuole
The molecule inside the nucleus that contains genetic instructions.
DNA
Movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration without energy
Diffusion
The energy molecule made by mitochondria.
ATP
The “cleanup crew” that breaks down waste and old organelles.
lysosomes
Rough ER looks rough because it has these attached.
ribosomes
The double membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus
Nuclear Envelope
The movement of water across a cell membrane.
osmosis
The folded inner membrane of mitochondria that increases surface area
Cristae
The cell’s “post office” that packages and ships proteins.
Golgi App.
This structure helps organize chromosomes during cell division (animal cells).
Centrioles
DNA is organized into these structures inside the nucleus
chromosomes
Transport that requires energy (ATP) to move substances against the gradient.
Active Transport
The process mitochondria use to turn glucose into ATP
cellular respiration
This structure transports materials and comes in rough and smooth forms.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Name TWO structures that help move materials around the cell.
ER and Golgi apparatus? (accept cytoskeleton too)
These tiny structures build proteins using instructions from mRNA
ribosomes
The term for the cell membrane’s ability to choose what passes through
Selective Permeability
Cells that need lots of energy usually contain many of these organelles.
Mitochondria
These tiny structures build proteins using instructions from mRNA.
Ribosomes
If lysosomes stopped working, this would happen inside the cell.
waste buildup / cell damage / cell death?
