parts of the cell
this is referred to as the "soup" and this is where the other cell organelles reside and where most of the cellular metabolism occurs...
what is cytosol
this helps maintain cell shape and is important in motility...
what is the cytoskeleton
this produces ribosomes...
what is the nucleolus
Prokaryotes lack these, with the exception of ribosomes
what are organelles
this is a stack of membrane-bound structures and is important for packing macromolecules...
what is a golgi apparatus
these are common in animal cells, and contain hydrolytic enzymes that digest cell waste
what are lysosomes
pack hormones and neurotransmitters are packed into these at the Golgi Apparatus to be transferred to the cell surface for release...
what are secretory vesicles
this oranelle is enclosed in a double membrane and is responsible for holding all the cells DNA and giving the cell its unique characteristics...
what is the nucleus
animal cells DONT have this...
what is a cell wall/chloroplasts
In plant cells, a central one of these this is responsible for keeping the cell rigid/firm, and storing water.
what is a vacuole
the area in the cell where microtubules are produced
what is the animal cell centrosome
every cell is enclosed in this...
what is the cell membrane
these organelles are in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and they translate RNA into proteins
what are Ribosomes
this is found in eukaryotic cells and plays different functions based on the specific cell types, including: lipid and steroid hormone synthesis
what is the endoplasmic reticulum
found in all higher plant cells
responsible for plants green color
have a double outer membrane
what is the chloroplast
what is it that states that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.
what is the cell theory
this organelle produces the energy cells need to function in the form of ATP
what is the mitochondrion
In bacterial cells, this can help them to move around
what is a flagellum/cilia
each one of these is a ring of 9 groups of fused microtubules
what is a centriole
these types of cells contain a nucleus and organelles
what are eukaryotic cells
