Plant Cells Only
the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of this organelle is to give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
Cell Wall
cell structure that makes protein. Protein is needed for many cell functions such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes. This organelle can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Ribosomes
control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle. Is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material.
Nucleus
double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit.
Cell Membrane
What is Mrs. Moorman's cat's name?
Jessalyn
found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
Chloroplasts
modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes
Golgi Apparatus
They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. The biochemical processes of the cell are known as cellular respiration
Mitochondria
it is the water-based solution in which organelles, proteins, and other cell structures float. This organelle in any cell is a complex solution, whose properties allow the functions of life to take place. The organelle contains proteins, amino acids, mRNA, ribosomes, sugars, ions, messenger molecules, and more
Cytosol (Cytoplasm)
Yes
continuous membrane system that forms a series of flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and serves multiple functions, being important particularly in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA, also known as rRNA. It then sends the subunits out to the rest of the cell where they combine into complete ribosomes. Ribosomes make proteins; therefore, plays a vital role in making proteins in the cell.
Nucleolus
two functions: break down fatty acids to be used for forming membranes and as fuel for respiration; and transfer hydrogen from compounds to oxygen to create hydrogen peroxide and then convert hydrogen peroxide into water.
Peroxisome
What is a group of geese called?
A gaggle
structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.
Cytoskeleton
contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. This organelle is like the stomach of the cell.
Lysosomes
tiny little packages in which certain cell products can be transported. They are membrane bound and produced by the golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum. Most of these organelles will have specialized functions and specific materials which they transport
Secretory Vesicles
How many eggs do octopus' lay at a time?
56,000
structures found inside of cells. They are made from two centrioles. Centrioles are microtubule rings. The main purpose of the organelle is to organize microtubules and provide structure for the cell, as well as work to pull chromatids apart during cell division.
Centrisome
membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, they tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth
Vacuole
How many words for snow does the country, Scotland, have?
421
