Exam Review: Flashcards
(126 cards)
cell wall:
Surrounds and protects the cell (p)
Nucleus:
Control CENTRE of the cell. Tells all organelles what to do (b)
Vacuole:
Store water, wastes, & other material (b)
Mitochondria:
The power house of the cell (b)
Golgi bodies:
Packaging CENTRE of the cell (b)
Cell membrane:
Covers the entire cell & gatekeeper to control materials coming in and out of the cell (b)
Centriole:
Small protein critical to cell division. (A)
Chloroplasts:
Organelle containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis (p)
Chromosome:
Threadlike structure containing genetic or hereditary info (b) also carries genes
Cytoplasm:
Liquid where nutrients are absorbed, transported, and processed. Holds all organelles (b)
Endoplasmic reticulum
Enroll admit reticulum series of canals that carry material around the cell
Golgi body:
Stores proteins until they are needed inside or outside the cell
Lysosomes:
Sac like structures surrounding the Golgi apparatus. Contains proteins + breaks down large molecules & other cell parts (a)
Mitochondria:
Tiny oval shaped organelle that gives the cells energy
Nucleolus:
Circle in the nucleus of some cells probably involved in making proteins (b)
Ribosomes:
Organelle that build proteins for cell growth and reproduction
Vacuole:
Stores water, wastes & other material (b) but larger in plants
Found in plants but not animals:
Chloroplasts, bigger vacuole, cell wall
Mitosis:
The stage of cells reproducing
Stages of mitosis:
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, tellophase, cytokenisis
In interphase:
Majority of time is spent here. DNA is being duplicated
Prophase:
Nuclear membrane is visible. DNA could up shorter + thicker double stranded chromosomes are visible
Metaphase:
Double stranded chromosomes move and line up along the cell. Spindles are visible
Anaphase:
Single stranded chromosomes move to opposite poles . They’re pulled by spindle fibers
