Plant Cells
The outermost barrier of this type of cell.
What is the Cell Wall?
The outermost barrier of this type of cell.
What is the Cell Membrane?
The pore-covered barrier surrounding the nucleus.
What is the Nuclear Envelope?
This is one half of a chromosome.
What is a Chromatid?
Mitosis is this kind of reproduction.
What is Asexual?
Large membrane sac that maintains turgor pressure of the cell.
What is the Central Vacuole?
This organelle is found in large numbers, and is used for storage of nutrients within the cell.
What is a Food Vacuole?
These organelles can be found free in the cytoplasm or connected to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What are Ribosomes?
The longest phase of the cell cycle.
What is Interphase?
The clear, gelatinous liquid in which all organelles are suspended.
What is the Cytoplasm?
This is where photosynthesis takes place in the cell.
What is the Chloroplast?
The shape of this kind of cell.
What is Round?
This organelle transduces energy for both plant and animal cells.
What is the Mitochondria?
This is the phase where all the chromosomes are lined up along the middle of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
The lysosomal disease characterized by the overload of lipids in the nervous system.
What is Tay-Sachs?
The shape of this kind of cell.
These organelles use hydrolytic enzymes to digest macromolecules and organic material within the cell.
What are Lysosomes?
This organelle makes steroids, lipids, and hormones.
What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?
The indentation created during telophase as two daughter cells split apart.
What is the Cleavage Furrow?
This is the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
What is Chlorophyll?
These are the pores or channels in the cell wall used for the passage of substances.
What is Plasmodesmata?
These are the barrel-shaped clusters of microtubules used to form spindle fibers.
What are Centrioles?
This provides structural and mechanical support for the cell and its organelles through its meshwork of microfilaments.
What is the Cytoskeleton?
These are the proteins that DNA wraps around.
What are Histones?
This is the central connection point of the chromosome that holds the two chromatids together.
What is the Centromere?
