Cell Flashcards
what is the function of the cell membrane?
controls what enters and exits the cell (in prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
what is the function of cytoplasm?
fluid filling of the cell (in prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
what is the function of ribosomes?
tiny circular structures that make proteins (in prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
what is the function of the nucleus?
an organelle that contains the organisms DNA (only in eukaryotes)
what is the function of chloroplast?
helps make food using energy from the cell (only in eukaryotic plant cells)
what is the function of the mitochondrion?
converts food into energy from the cell (only in eukaryotes)
what is the function of ER?
where proteins are made and travel through (only in eukaryotes)
what is the function of the golgi apparatus(body)?
packages molecules for movement (only in eukaryotes)
what is the function of vacuoles?
used as storage (only in eukaryotes)
what is the function of lysosomes?
helps the cell breakdown waste (only in eukaryotic animal cells)
what is the function of the cell wall?
extra support and protection (in prokaryotes and only in eukaryotic plant cells)
