Question | Answer |
---|---|
the study of cells | Cytology |
The 4 basic parts of the cell | Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, and DNA/RNA |
Cells are divided into 2 categories | Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
Cells that are small, simple, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA/RNA, NO nucleus, and NO organelles. | Prokaryotes |
Cells that are complex, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA/RNA, and organelles | Eukaryotes |
Small compartments that carry out specialized functions within a cell | Organelles |
Provides the internal support system for the cell. | Cytoskeleton |
Organelle that produces lipids. | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Organelle dotted with ribosomes. It is responsible for packaging the proteins made by ribosomes. | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Organelle that will modify, package, and sort protein packages for secretion out of the cell. | Golgi Apparatus (or Golgi Body) |
Organelle responsible for breaking down glucose molecules into ATP energy molecules. The site of glycolysis. | Mitochondria |
Organelles found in plant and algae cells that produce glucose molecules. The site of photosynthesis. | Chloroplast |
Organelle that produces enzymes (a type of protein) that destroy foreign molecules and waste products in the cell. | Lysosome |
Organelle that stores water, salt, food, or waste products in the cell. | Vacuole |
Organelle that stores DNA. | Nucleus |
