1

cell/plasma membrane

  • regulates what enters & leaves the cell

  • selectively permiable

New cards
2

cytoplasm

  • a jelly-like substance enclosed by a cell membrane

  • provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place

New cards
3

cytosol

liquid portion of cytoplasm

New cards
4

where are organelles found?

in the cytoplasm

New cards
5

nucleus

  • controls the normal activities of the cell

  • largest organelle

New cards
6

DNA

  • makes up chromosomes inside the nucleus

  • hereditary material of the cell

New cards
7

nuclear envelope

  • a double membrane surrounding the nucleus

  • contains nuclear pores

  • connected to the ER

New cards
8

nuclear pores

  • regulates what enters & leaves nucleus

  • RNA & ribosomes can leave

New cards
9

chromosomes

  • contain genes that control the characteristics of the cell

  • in dividing cells, formed by condensed DNA wrapped around proteins

New cards
10

chromatin

when DNA is spread out & appears as a mass (in non-diving cells)

New cards
11

nucleolus

  • inside the nucleus

  • cells may contain 1-3

  • disappear during cell division & reappear later

  • makes ribosomes that make proteins

New cards
12

ribosomes

  • make proteins for the cell

  • made of proteins and RNA

New cards
13

cytoskeleton

  • made of proteins

    Functions:

  • helps maintain cell shape

  • helps move organelles around

New cards
14

microfilaments

threadlike proteins in the cytoskeleton

New cards
15

microtubules

tubelike proteins in the cytoskeleton

New cards
16

actin

the protein in microfilaments

New cards
17

tubulin

the protein in microtubules

New cards
18

centrioles

  • only in animal cells

  • come in pairs

  • found near the nucleus

  • made of a bundle of microtubules

  • during cell division, they help to pull chromosomes apart.

New cards
19

mitochondria

  • powerhouse of the cell

  • generates cellular energy/ATP

  • more active cells have more mitochondria (ex. muscles)

  • found in all eukaryotic cells

  • surrounded by double membrane

  • has its own DNA

New cards
20

where does cellular respiration take place?

mitochondria

New cards
21

cristae

  • inner membrane of mitochondria

  • folded to increase surface area for more chemical reactions

New cards
22

matrix

interior compartment of the mitochondria

New cards
23

endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

  • network of hollow membrane tubes

  • connected to nuclear envelope & cell membrane

  • functions in synthesis & transport of cell products

New cards
24

rough ER

proteins are made in ribosomes on its surface and threaded into interior of the ER to be modified & transported (export)

New cards
25

smooth ER

  • no ribosomes

  • attached to ends of rough ER

  • makes cell products for use inside the cell

New cards
26

3 functions of smooth ER

  1. makes membrane lipids

  2. regulates calcium

  3. destroys toxic substances (liver)

New cards
27

what makes up the endomembrane transport system

nuclear membrane connected to ER connected to cell membrane

New cards
28

protein synthesis

when ribosomes join amino acids to make proteins

New cards
29

free ribosomes

found in the cytoplasm & used inside the cell

New cards
30

golgi bodies

  • look like stacks of pancakes/flattened sacs

  • Trans face: shipping (export)

  • Cis face: receiving (ER to Golgi)

  • proteins modified by this come from RER

New cards
31

transport vesicles

transport proteins from ER to Golgi & from Golgi to cell membrane

New cards
32

lysosomes

  • contain digestive enzymes

  • break down food, bacteria, & worn out cell parts

  • function: cell digestion

New cards
33

apoptosis

programmed cell death

New cards
34

autolysis

when the cell is destroyed after an injury or death

New cards
35

phagocytosis

the process of which lysosomes take in food

New cards
36

functions cilia & flagella

  1. Moving cells

  2. moving fluids across the cell’s surface

  3. moving particles across the cell’s surface

New cards
37

microtubule arrangement of cilia & flagella

9+2

New cards
38

cilia

  • shorter & more numerous

  • Ex- Respiratory system: Moves dust particles away from lungs

New cards
39

flagella

  • longer & fewer (usually 1-3)

  • only cell in advanced animal w/ this is sperm

New cards
40

vacuoles

  • fluid-filled sacs for storage

  • present in plant cells

New cards
41

cell sap

  • stored in central vacuoles

  • contains substances like water, toxins harmful to the plant, salts, wastes, and enzymes

New cards
42

contractile vacuoles

  • found in unicellular protists like paramecia

  • regulates water by pumping out excess (homeostasis)

  • keeps cell from bursting

New cards
43

cell wall

  • nonliving layer found in plants , fungi, & bacteria

  • support & protect the cell

  • outside the cell membrane

New cards
44

plant cell walls

cellulose

New cards
45

bacterial cell walls

peptidoglycan

New cards
46

fungal cell walls

chitin

New cards
47

chlorophyll

  • pigment found inside chloroplasts

  • captures the energy from the sun & uses it to make food

  • embedded inside thylakoid membrane

New cards
48

chloroplasts

  • found in producers that are photoautotrophs (eukaryotes)

  • surrounded by a double membrane

  • contain their own DNA (so they can reproduce themselves), pigments, & enzymes

New cards
49

chloroplast’s outer membrane

smooth

New cards
50

chloroplast’s inner membrane

modified into sacs (thylakoids)

New cards
51

grana

stacks of thylakoids that are interconnected

New cards
52

stroma

gel like material surrounding thylakoids

New cards
53

which cells never have chloroplasts?

animal / bacteria / fungi

New cards
54

photsynthesis

the food making process that takes place inside of chloroplasts

New cards
55

peroxisomes

digest fatty acids & alcohol

New cards
56

catalase

oxidative enzyme

New cards
57

plastids

  • found in plants & algae

  • do photosynthesis

  • 3 types: chloroplasts, leucoplasts, chromoplasts

New cards
58

leucoplasts

plastids where you store starch

New cards
59

chromoplasts

plastids that store brightly-colored pigment (make carrots orange, attract insects to flowers)
