Q

because of this plant cell cannot be deformed

25
basic building blocks of matter
ATOMS
26
little organs
organelles
27
surrounded by a double membrane
NUCLEUS
28
usually the easiest organelle to see under a microscope
NUCLEUS
29
Cell organelle that houses DNA and directs synthesis of ribosomes and proteins. It runs all of the functions inside the cell.
NUCLEUS
30
located within the nucleus, it is responsible for producing ribosomes.
NUCLEOLUS
31
separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm and provides the structural framework of the nucleus.
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
32
allows small molecules and ions to freely pass, or diffuse, into or out of the nucleus.
NUCLEAR PORES
33
is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes.
CHROMOSOMES
34
small packets of rna attached to rough ER or floating free in cytosol or cytoplasm
RIBOSOMES
35
produced in a part of the nucleus called the nucleolus
RIBOSOMES
36
bean shaped organelle with an outer and inner membrane
MITOCHONDRIA
37
powerhouse of the cell
MITOCHONDRIA
38
cellular respiration occurs here to release energy for the cell to use
MITOCHONDRIA
39
_ is the major energy currency of the cell the _ regulates many biochemical pathways
ATP
40
small spherical organelles free floating in cytoplasm found mostly in animal cells
LYSOSOMES
41
large central vacuole usually in plant cells
VACUOLES
42
storage container for water, food, enzymes, waste, pigments, etc. In plants cells and they help keep the plant from wilting
VACUOLES
43
modifies proteins and synthesizes lipids
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
44
no ribosomes, it makes lipid
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
45
acts as skeleton and muscle
CYTOSKELETON
46
provides shape and structure, made of three types of filaments
CYTOSKELETON
47
looks like a stack of plates, a system of flattened membrane sacs
GOLGI APPARATUS
48
packages substances for transport inside or out of the cell, acts like a mail delivery system
GOLGI APPARATUS
49
molecules transported to and from the Golgi by means of _
VESICLES
50
thin membrane that surrounds the cells
CELL MEMBRANE
51
made of a phospholipid bilayer
CELL MEMBRANE
52
acts as a barrier to protect the cells
CELL MEMBRANE
53
controls what enters and leaves the cell
CELL MEMBRANE
54
found only in plant cells
CHLOROPLAST
55
found in plant and bacterial cells, rigid, protective barrier
CELL WALL
56
cell wall is made up of
CELLULOSE or FIBER
57
provides structure to cell, site of many metabolic reactions, medium in which organelles are found
CYTOPLASM
58
aids in cell division, usually found only in animal cells
CENTRIOLE
59
centriole is made up of
MICROTUBULES
