|
|
NUCLEUS |
THE CONTROL CENTER OF THE CELL. |
|
CELL MEMBRANE |
THE SEMI PERMEABLE MEMBRANE, SURROUNDING THE CYTOPLASM, THROUGH WHICH MATERIAL PASSES INTO AND OUT OF A CELL. |
|
CYTOPLASM |
THE MATERIAL WITHIN THE CELL MEMBRANE IN WHICH THE ORGANELLES EXIST. |
|
RIBOSOME |
A TINY ORGANELLE FOUND IN THE CYTOPLASM OR ON THE OUTER SURFACES OF THE ER, FUNCTIONING AS THE SITE OF PROTEIN MANUFACTURE |
|
CELL WALL |
THE DEFINITE BOUNDARY OR WALL OF THE OUTER STRUCTURE OF PLANT CELLS |
|
GOLGI BODIES |
AN ORGANELLE CONSISTING OF FLATTENED SACS THAT PROCESSES PRODUCTS FROM THE ER AND RELEASES THE FINISHED PRODUCT TO THE CELL FOR USE OR EXPORT |
|
LYSOSOME |
ORGANELLES FOUND IN ANIMALS CELLS AND FUNCTION IN INTRACELLULAR DIGESTION |
|
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) |
A NETWORK OF TUBULAR MEMBRANES, EITHER SMOOTH OR STUDDED WITH RIBOSOMES, INVOLVED IN TRANSPORT OF MATERIALS |
|
CHROMOSOME |
SEVERAL THREADLIKE BODIES, CONSISTING OF CHROMATIN, THAT CARRY THE GENES IN A LINEAR ORDER |
|
MITOCHONDRIA |
AN ORGANELLE IN THE CYTOPLASM THAT FUNTIONS IN ENERGY PRODUCTION |
|
VACUOLES |
A SMALL CAVITY IN THE CYTOPLASM, STORING WATER, FOOD, OR WASTE |
|
CHLOROPLAST |
A PLASTID FOUND IN PLANTS, CONTAINING CHLOROPHYLL; THE PRIMARY SITE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS |
|
PASSIVE TRANSPORT |
MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES FROM HIGH CONCENTRATION TO LOW, WITHOUT THE USE OF ENERGY |
|
ACTIVE TRANSPORT |
MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES FROM LOW CONCENTRATION TO HIGH, WITH THE USE OF ENERGY |
|
PERMEABLE |
MATERIAL FREELY MOVES INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL, ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE |
|
SELECTIVELY (SEMI) PERMEABLE |
SOME MATERIAL MOVES FREELY INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL, ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE |
|
NON-PERMEABLE |
NO MATERIAL MOVES INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL, ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE |
