Basic Cell Overview
This is the smallest living thing.
Cell
The organelle that contains the genetic information in a cell.
Nucleus/Nucleolus
The organelle that is a jelly/plasma like fluid in which all other organelle's float in.
Cytoplasm
This is known as "Deoxyribonucleic acid"
D.N.A.
The best teacher ever
MR. HAMILTON OH YEAH LETS GO WOOOOOO
The organized and specialized structures inside of a cell that carry out various task that are necessary for cellular functions.
Organelle
The semi-permeable barrier that surround animal cells and allows certain materials in and out of the cell through shape and chemical signals.
Cell-Membrane
The organelle that is rigid and surrounds plant cells, only allowing materials of a certain size through.
This is a "Half strand" of DNA that gets sent to the ribosomes to give instructions for protein synthesis.
R.N.A.
This organelle is exclusively found in plant cells, and is used to convert sunlight into energy.
Chloroplasts
These two types of cells are mainly differentiated by the presence or lack of a cell wall.
Animal and Plant
This organelle functions to produce protein once it receives RNA from the nucleus.
Ribosomes
These organelles are responsible for the storage and transport of materials throughout the cell, such as food, water, and waste.
Vacuole
These are the four nucleotide bases for D.N.A. strands.
ATCG (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine)
This is the process cells undergo for reproducing themselves.
Mitosis
A single celled organism that lacks a nucleus and other organelles, but can still reproduce and often causes sickness.
Bacteria
This organelle functions to turn food materials into energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
Mitochondria
This organelle is responsible to destroying waste and dead organelles, as well as foreign materials to the cell.
Lysomsomes
This nucleotide base is only present in R.N.A., and replaces Adenine.
Uracil
Bacteria would fall under this category of cell.
Prokaryotic
The two broad categories of cells, differentiated by the presence of or lack of a nucleus.
Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic.
This organelle functions to receive and repackage different materials in the cell. Materials such as energy, water, food, and other miscellaneous materials are sent here, tagged, and then sent out to wherever needed in the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
This organelle contains ribosomes, and the smooth version helps transport other materials through the cell and also functions for lipid production.
Endoplasmic Recitciulum
Heavily wound up strands of D.N.A., humans receive these in pairs of 23 from each parent.
Chromosomes
These are the three types of R.N.A.
TRNA, MRNA, RRNA
