Phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the nucleus that has nuclear pores which allow RNA to leave the nucleus
What is Nuclear Envelope
100
Similar to Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum in structure, except it does NOT have ribosomes. Manufactures lipids, breaks down glycogen, detoxifies, and stores calcium.
What is Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
100
The "Powerhouse" of the cell. Cell generators that convert fuel particles (glucose) into useable energy (ATP). Process is know as Cellular respiration.
What is Mitochondria
200
Control center of the cell. Genetic information is found as chromatin.
What is Nucleus
200
Flattened, round sacs that look like a stack of pancakes. Modifies and ships products by way of vesicles into the cytosol then to the cell membrane.
What is Golgi Apparatus
200
Capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis.
What is chloroplast
300
Tiny, granulated organelles located on the Endoplasmic reticulum or found in the cytosol. - Makes protein
What is Ribosomes
300
Sacs that may be used as storage for water, proteins, carbohydrates, salts or wastes. - Storage for Water
What is Vacuole
300
Project outside the plasma membrane. They are short, numerous projections that look like hairs.
What is Cilia & Flagella
400
Small dense region in the nucleus. It is the site of ribosome production.
What is Nucleolus
400
Vesicles that contain enzymes that digests excess or worn-out organelles and food particles. They also digest bacteria and viruses that have entered the cell.
What is Lysosome
500
Continuation of the nuclear envelope. Called "rough" because it has ribosomes attached. Modify and transport proteins.
What is Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
500
Made up of groups of microtubules that function during cell division
