Cards In This Set

Front Back
Pinocytotic Vesicle
Allows macromolecular droplets and particles enter the cell through the cell
Lysosome
Digests cell nutrients
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transports materials through cell and produces proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Produces and digests lipids(fats) and membrane proteins; contains enzymes; moves newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body and membranes
Cell Membrane
Semipermeable; allows some substances to pass into cell and blocking others
Mitochondrion
Produces ATP (adenosine triphosate)
Golgi Apparatus
Packages proteins and carbohydrates into vesicles for ‘export’ from the cell
Nucleolus
Produces ribosomal RNA
Nucleus
Contains DNA (in chromosomes); controls many of the cell’s functions
Centrioles
Help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division; they replicate during mitosis and meiosis
Microtubules
Movement, cell shape and formation of mitotic spindles during cell division
Cytoplasm
Jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located
Ribosome
Sites of protein synthesis
Chloroplast
Contains chlorophyll; photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts
Cell Wall
Thick, rigid; surrounds a plant cell; gives the cell most of its support and structure
