Functions
The thin, flexible bilayer around the cell
What is the plasma membrane
Organelles that creates proteins
What are the ribosomes?
Organelle that is a ball with nuclear pores on it
What is nucleus?
Cells move because of these organelles
What are cilia or flagellum?
DNA is compacted into these
What is chromatin?
Proteins are modified and packaged in this layer of saclike membranes
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
Area where all of the cellular anatomy is located
What is in the Cytoplasm?
Small particles that are made of RNA and protein
What is ribosomes?
Packages of materials that leave the cell through pores in the plasma membrane
What are secretory vesicles?
What are the nucleoli
Controls most of the cell processes and contains the hereditary information DNA
What is the nucleus?
Bilayer that surrounds and protects the nucleus
What is the nuclear membrane?
Small dense masses that makes up most of the nucleus
What is nucleolus?
Junction that is similar to gluing the cells together so that nothing is allowed to pass through the extracellular space
What is a tight junction?
Besides the peroxisomes, location of cellular detoxification
What is smooth endoplasmic reticululum?
Organelle in which the cellular components are transported throughout the cell and proteins are modified
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
Organelle that is a network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its internal shape
What is the cytoskeleton, microfilaments, and microtubules?
Bilayer plasma membrane is composed of these
What are phospholipids?
Space between cells that allows for chemical messaging between 2 cells.
What is a gap junction?
Plasma membrane bilayer is composed of phospholipids, whose tails are _ and are pointed inward.
What is hydrophobic?
Organelle uses energy from food to make high-energy compounds (ATP) that the cell can use to power growth, development, movement
What is the Mitochondria?
Organelles involved in detoxifying and ridding the cell of unnecessary components
What are peroxisomes and lysosomes?
Organelle that is a conveyor belt dotted with ribosomes
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
"Rivets" that prevent cells from being pulled apart
What is a desmosome?
Plasma membrane bilayer is composed of phospholipids, whose heads are _ and are pointed outward.
What is hydroliphic?
