Cell Parts
This organelle contains the cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Primary function of mitochondria.
What is Cellular respiration/ATP production?
The process chloroplasts are responsible for.
What is photosynthesis?
Network of protein fibers throughout the cell.
What is a cytoskeleton?
This structure surrounds the nucleus and controls what enters and leaves.
What is the nuclear membrane?
The type of molecules that make up most of the cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
Feature that allows enzymes to speed up chemical reactions in cellular respiration.
What is increased surface area of the inner membrane?
Captures light energy inside chloroplasts.
What are thylakoids?
Straight hollow tubes of protein that give shape and organization to the cell.
What are microtubules?
What is the nucleolus?
Allows some substances to cross while restricting others.
What is semi-permeable?
Molecule produced and used by cells for energy.
What is ATP?
Organisms where chloroplasts are typically found.
What are plant cells and algae?
Long, thin, whip-like microtubules that help cells move.
What are flagella?
The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport?
What is the golgi apparatus?
How do phospholipids arrange themselves in a cell membrane?
In a phospholipid bilayer as hydrophilic heads face the aqueous solutions and hydrophobic tails face inward
Why do some cells have more mitochondria?
Need large amounts of energy to function.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are both involved in what?
What is involved in converting energy that the cell can use?
Microtubules that are found on the cells in your airway and dislodge debris.
What are cilia?
The order of organelles involved in creating a protein and then exporting it outside the cell.
What is ribosome, rough ER, golgi apparatus, and cell membrane?
These molecules are embedded within the membrane and are mainly involved in transportation of large and polar substances.
What are membrane proteins?
Two characteristics shared by mitochondria and chloroplasts
What are double membranes and their own DNA?
The fluid that surrounds the thylakoids.
What is stroma?
TWO cellular processes affected by a disrupted cell cytoskeleton.
What are cell movement, organelle transport, intracellular organization, or maintenance of cell shape.
