| Front | Back |
|
Actin
|
A globular protein that links into chains, two of which twist helically about each other, forming microfilaments in muscle and other kinds of cells
|
|
Basal body
|
Anchors the cilium or flagella to the cell, structure is identical to that of a centriole
|
|
Cell wall
|
Found in prokaryotes
Plants: protects the cell, maintains shape, prevents to much water intake |
|
Central vacuole
|
Stockpiling proteins
disposing of metabolic byproducts holding pigments storing defensive compounds Tonoplast is the membrane that surronds it |
|
Centriole
|
A structure in the contrsome of an animal cell composed of a cylinder of microtuble triplets arranged in a 9+0 pattern
|
|
Centrosome
|
Present in cytoplasm of animal cells
important for cell division contains two centrioles |
|
Chloroplast
|
Organelle found in plants
site for photosynthesis |
|
Chromatin
|
Fibrous material that makes chromosomes
|
|
Chromosome
|
Contains genes in form of DNA
|
|
Celium
|
A short cellular appendage containing
microtubules. A motile cilium is specialized for locomotion and is formed from
a core of nine outer doublet microtubules and two inner single microtubules
(the “9 + 2” arrangement) ensheathed in an extension of the plasma membrane. A
primary cilium is usually nonmotile and plays a sensory and signaling role; it
lacks the two inner microtubules (the “9 + 0” arrangement
|
|
Contractile vacule
|
Found in fresh water protists, pump excess water out of the cell to maintain the appropriate concentration of sales
|
|
Crista
|
Infoldings located in the inner membrane of mitochondria
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Region between nucleus and plasma membrane
is eukaryotic cells this region houses membrane-bound organelles |
|
Cytoplasmic streaming
|
circular flow of cytoplasm, involving myosin and actin
filaments, that speeds the distribution of materials within cells.
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
Provides mechanical supprots
maintains cell shape provides anchorage for many organelles |
