Cells Flashcards
(27 cards)
Cell membrane
Thin flexible barrier around a cell regulates what enters and a leaves the cell
What is an organelle?
Specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell
Cell wall
Strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plant algae
Chloroplast
Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and converts into chemical engery
Chlorophyll
Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms capture light energy
Cytoplasm
Material inside the cell membrane not including the nucleus
Mitochondria
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are move convenient for the cell to use
Nucleus
Structure that contains the cells genetic material (DNA) and controls the cells activities
Chromatin/chromosomes/DNA
Genetic material
Ribosome
Small practical in the cell on which proteins are assembled made of RNA and protein
Vacuole
Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins and carbonjybrates
Eukaryotic cell
Cell that contains a nucleus
Prokaryotic cell
Unicellular organism without a nucleus
Cell specialization(differentiation)
The process in which cells develop in different ways to perform different tasks
