Cells Flashcards
Know all functions and parts of a cell (16 cards)
1
Q
Cell membrane
A
- Surrounds and protects cell contents.
- Controls what goes in and out of the cell; forms a barrier with the outside environment.
- Found in all cells
2
Q
Cytoplasm
A
- Jelly-like fluid in which internal organelles float.
- Found in all cells
3
Q
Ribosomes
A
- The site of protein synthesis.
- Found in all cells
4
Q
Nucleus
A
- The brain of the cell; contains DNA, controls the cells activity including cell division.
- Found in Eukaryotic, animal and plant cells
5
Q
Smooth ER
A
- Detoxification; fat synthesis.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
6
Q
Rough ER
A
- Anchors ribosomes from protein synthesis, transports modified protein to Golgi bodies.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
7
Q
Golgi Bodies
A
- For packaging modification, secretion of substances for export in and out of the cell.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
8
Q
Mitochondria
A
- Bean-shaped structures that convert 0₂ and glucose into CO₂, H₂O, and ATP.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
9
Q
Cell Wall
A
- A tough ridged outer layer of plant cells; structural support in plant cells.
- Found in Eukaryotic, prokaryotic, bacteria, and plant cells
10
Q
Chloroplast
A
- In plants, green segments (Chlorophyll) that turn light, CO₂, and H₂0 into glucose.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
11
Q
Vacuole
A
- Large vesicles, in plants act to store water and nutrients, help support plant due to pressure.
- In plants, are known as a large central vacuole. Animal cells have many smaller vacuoles.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
12
Q
Vesicle
A
- Small-membrane-bound sacs for transporting material in, around, and out of the cell, also used for storage of various materials.
- Found in Eukaryotic, plant and animal cells
13
Q
Nucleoid
A
- Reigon of genetic material
- Found in bacteria cell
14
Q
Flagellum
A
- Long whip like tail for movement
- Found in animal and bacteria cells.
15
Q
Plasmid
A
- Ring of bacterial dna.
- Found in bacteria cell
16
Q
Fimbria
A
- Protien bridge, used to transfer dna, cell to cell
- Found in bacteria cell
