What is the cell?
The simplest collection of matter that can be alive
100
What is prokaryotic cells?
No nucleus
100
What is nucleus?
Contains DNA also known as the control center of the cell
100
What is lysosome?
Hydrolyze proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids. responsible for digestion (breakdown) in the cell
100
What is cytoskeleton?
Contains microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments to provide support and shape the cell
200
What is prokaryotic?
Bacteria and Archaea belong to this cell type
200
What is prokaryotic cells?
No membrane bound organelles
200
What is ribosome?
Makes proteins in the cell
200
What is vacuole?
Maintenance compartments of the cell that hold water
200
What is centrosome?
The microtubule organizing center that is made of 2 centrioles
300
What is eukaryotic?
Protists, fungi, animals, and plants belong to this cell type
300
What is eukaryotic cells?
DNA is located in the nucleus bounded by a membranous nuclear envelope
300
What is smooth ER?
Synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, detoxifies drugs and poisons, and stores calcium ions
300
What is mitochondria?
The powerhouse of the cell, where ATP is made.
300
What is plant cell wall?
An extracellular structure only found in plants that adds extra protection for the plant cell, maintains shape, and prevents excessive water uptake
400
What is the plasma membrane?
A selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste. Also known as the protector of the cell.
400
What is eukaryotic cells?
Membrane bound organelles
400
What is rough ER?
Has bound ribosomes, distributes transport vesicles, and is the membrane factory for the cell
400
What is chloroplasts?
The site of photosynthesis in plants and holds the green pigment chlorophyll
400
What is plasmodesmata?
Channels between adjacent plant cells
500
What is organelles?
The eukaryotic cell is divided into different parts with various functions which are called
500
What is eukaryotic cells?
Includes plant and animal cells
500
What is golgi apparatus?
Modifies products of the ER, manufactures macromolecules, sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles (shipping and receiving)
500
What is peroxisomes?
Produce hydrogen peroxide and converts it to water
500
What is extracellular matrix?
Animal cell don't have cell walls, but they are covered by this to add Movement, Adhesion, Regulation, and Support for the cell.
