Cell Parts Flashcards
0
Q
Cytoplasm
A
- all cells have it
- Jelly-like fluid that is all over the cell
- about the thickness of hair-gel
- all organelles float in it
1
Q
Golgi apparatus
A
- looks like a stack of pancakes
- all cells have it
- materials move between layers
- packs up and takes to different parts of the cell
2
Q
DNA (dioxiribon eucleac acid)
A
- inside the nucleus
- blueprint of all living things
- all DNA is different
- store house of genetics
3
Q
Nucleus
A
- all cells have it
- largest organelle in animal cell
- like the brain of the cell
- can be seen by a regular microscope
4
Q
Cell wall
A
- only found in plant cells
- keeps plants upright
- plant cells are a rectangular shape because of the thick outside layer
5
Q
Membrane
A
•all cells have it
•controls most of what enters and leaves the cell
•semi-permeable
-some things can pass through it and others can not pass through it
6
Q
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)
A
•makes substances that the cell needs: -fats -enzymes -ect. •part of membrane around the nucleus
7
Q
Vesicles
A
Transports things that the E.R. Makes around the cell
8
Q
Mitochondria
A
- very important
- found in all cells
- breaks down molecules from food to creat and store energy
- each one has its own DNA
9
Q
Lysosomes
A
- are like janitors
- break apart particles that are badly made
- cleans up waist and toxins
- are found in all cells
10
Q
Vacuole
A
- like water balloons
- takes up most of the cell in plants but is small in animal cells
- stores water, waist, ect.
11
Q
Ribosomes
A
- make protein
* found in all cells
12
Q
Nucleolus
A
- found inside nucleus
* makes ribosomes
13
Q
Chloroplast
A
- is what makes plants green
- only found in plant cells
- makes food for the plant
- makes oxygen
•very important for the plants survival
14
Q
Photosynthesis
A
•chemical reaction
•during photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water break apart
•makes glucose
•the chemical formula is:
6CO +6H 0+light energy➡️C H O+6O
2 2 6 12 6 2
