(43 cards)
Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
Supports & protects cells
Cell wall
Control center of the cell
Nucleus
Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Acts as skeleton and muscle. Provides shape and structure. Helps move organelles around the cell
Cytoskeleton
movement of the cytoskeleton
microtubules
Shape for cytoskeletal
Actin filaments
Structural support
Intermidiate
Made of DNA.
Contain instructions for traits & characteristics.
Chromosomes
Inside nucleus
Contains RNA to build protein
Nucleolus
Jelly like substance
Cytoplasm
serves as the packaging factories of the cell.
golgi complex
Moves materials around in cell. serve as channels through which materials are transported in the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Make proteins
Ribosomes
is the powerhouse of the cell. It converts food molecules into energy.
Mitochondria
are spherical sacs that contain powerful digestive enzymes.
lysosomes
Contains green chlorophyll.
Where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
for the storage of food.
Vacuoles
are energy converters.
plastids
carry substances in and out of the cell like food particles.
vesicles
Aids in cell division.
Usually found only in animal cells.
Made of microtubules
Centriole
provide support and movement to the cell.
microtubules
The study of cells.
