Cell Organelles
Controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What is cell membrane?
Cellulose structure that surrounds plant cells and gives them support and protection.
What is cell wall?
Vesicles contain powerful enzymes to help keep the cell healthy by ridding waste.
What are lysosomes?
Has ribosomes: help transport proteins from the nucleus.
What is rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)?
Jelly-like fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus that fills the space between organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
Surrounds the fluid part of the nucleus and allows ribosomes and ions to exit the nucleus.
What is the nuclear membrane (envelope)?
Found in pairs; a cluster of microtubules that assist during cell divison.
What are centrioles?
"Powerhouse" that produces energy for the cell.
What is mitochondria (mitochondrion)?
Stores water, nutrients, and wastes.
What is the vacuole?
Found only in plant cells, contains chlorophyll.
What is chloroplast?
The process used by cells to release energy by converting glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water; takes place in the mitochondria.
What is cellular respiration?
Help to make proteins.
What are ribosomes?
When chromatin coils up and condenses; are only visible when a cell is preparing for or undergoing division.
What is chromosomes?
A process used by plants: converts light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
A temporary extension of cytoplasm used by some single-celled organisms to move.
What is pseudopod?
Produces ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
Threadlike structures that carry heredity (or genetic) information.
What is chromatin?
Controls cellular processes; contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Helps to package and distribute proteins and lipids in the cell.
What is the Golgi Body (apparatus)?
Lack ribosomes; transports proteins and lipids.
What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER)?
