Plant cell names
Cell Membrane
Controls what comes into and out of the cell; found in plant and animal cells
Vacuoles
Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials
Photosynthesis
the process in which plants and some other organisms use the energy in sunlight to make food
Cell Wall
Ridged outer layer of a plant cell
Golgi Bodies
Receives proteins and materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them
Autograph
a person's own handwriting or signature, often collected from celebrities, authors, or historical figures
Cytoplasm
Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found
chloroplast
Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in a plant cells
Eukaryote
a complex cell characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus that houses its genetic material (DNA) and other specialized, membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum
Mitochondria
Produces energy a cell needs to carry out its functions
Endoplasmic reticulum
Has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another
Aptr
Adenine Phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT), an enzyme vital for recycling adenine in the purine salvage pathway, preventing buildup of toxic compounds like 2,8-dihydroxyadenine
lysosomes
Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts
Ribosomes
