Cell Organelles
Small organs within a cell that have specific jobs.
What are cell organelles?
A cell with a specific function or job
What are specialized cells?
☆ Hair-like structures surrounding the cell
☆ Tail-like structure
What is Cillia?
What is Flagella?
This cell is more rectangular
What are Plant Cells?
Builds tissues and enzymes ; made up of amino acids
What are proteins?
☆ Organelle that creates protein synthesis
☆ Organelle that creates lipid synthesis
What is Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
What is Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?
Where a cell with no specific function turns into a specialized cell with a specific function.
What is Cell Differentiation?
Detect changes in sunlight; mainly found in plant cells.
What are eyespots?
This cell is more circular
What are Animal Cells
Stores and passes on genes ; made up of nucleotides
What are nucleic acids?
This organelle controls what goes in and out of the cell
What is the Cell/Plasma Membrane?
cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body.
What are Stem Cells?
☆ Moves away or towards chemicals
☆ Moves towards light for photosynthesis
What is Chemotaxis?
What is Phototaxis?
These TWO organelles are found in plant cells NOT animal cells
What are Cell Walls and Chloroplasts?
Provides quick energy; made up of monosaccharides
What are carbohydrates?
☆ Stores food, water and waste.
☆ Cleans and eliminates waste
What are Vacuole?
What are Lysosomes?
☆ have rounded edges that allow them to flow easily through blood vessels.
☆ can swell up with fat in order to store energy for the body.
☆ are long and thin, with lots of whisker-like projections, allowing them to pick up and send electrical signals quickly throughout the entire body.
What are Red Blood Cells?
What are Fat Cells?
What are Nerve Cells?
☆ Cells Shrink
☆ Cells Grow
What is Atrophy?
What is Hypertrophy?
These TWO Organelles are found in animal cells NOT plant cells
What are Lysosomes and Centrioles?
Long Term energy; made up of glycerol and fatty acids
What are lipids?
Helps with cell division
What are Centrioles?
☆ are flat and grow in layers to cover the body.
☆ are rigid and strong, also able to store calcium in order to give body solid support.
☆ connected to bones and can contract to allow movement.
What are Skin Cells?
What are Bone Cells?
What are Skeletal Muscle Cells?
☆ Excess cell division.
☆ Abnormal cell develops.
☆ One specialized Cell turns into another.
What is Hyperplasia?
What is Sysplasia?
What is Metaplasia?
Both Plant and Animal cells contain vacuoles, but they are different. How?
☆ Plant cells have large vacuoles
☆ Animal cells have multiple, small vacuoles
Elements that all nutrients have
What is Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen (C,O,H)?
