EXAM LATEST UPDATE.Buy Quality Materials!
Organelle
"Small organs" of the cell that carry out specific functions
Vesicles
small membrane bound sacs that transport materials around the cell and to the cell
membrane
Lysosome
specialized vesicles that digests molecules of food, invading bacteria, and old cell parts
using protein molecules called enzymes.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
synthesizes lipids or fat
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes proteins
Golgi Body (Golgi Apparatus)
This is where proteins are modified by adding lipids or carbohydrates and then
packaged into vesicles for transport to their final destination.
Cytoskeleton
Long proteins that help to give the cell keep its shape and structure.
Cell Wall
A rigid structure found outside the cell membrane plants, bacteria, and fungi. This gives
the cells structure and protection.
Cell Membrane
outer boundary of the cell; it maintains a homeostasis; controls what enters and leaves
the cell; called a semipermeable membrane.
Chloroplasts
organelle that absorbs solar energy using chlorophyll molecules and converts it into
chemical energy/glucose/food for the cell through photosynthesis.
Mitochondria
where most energy conversions occur to turn food into ATP Energy for the cell during
what is called aerobic cellular respiration.
Nucleus
This is where the blue prints for making proteins are stored in large molecules called
DNA. These large packages of DNA are also called Chromosomes.
Vacuole
Extra food and water are stored here. Plant cells have a large one of these which helps
to keep its shape.
Ribosomes
Synthesizes (makes) protein; can be free floating in the cytoplasm or fixed on the RER.
Cytoplasm
aqueous solution which contains all the cell's water, nutrients, and dissolved gases;
organelles between the nucleus and outer cell membrane are suspended in this.
Eukaryotic Cell
