25
chloroplast
-site of photosynthesis -has its own DNA
26
cytoskeleton
structural framework that aids in cell division, movement, and interconnection
27
3 components of cytoskeleton
- microfilaments - intermediate filaments - microtubules
28
tight junction
fuses cells together to create impermeable barrier between them
29
anchoring junction
connects adjacent cells in one place
30
gap junction
protein channel that links cytoplasms of adjacent cells, allowing exchange of ions, nutrients
