Cards

Term
Protoplasm
Definition
Carries out many chemical reactions of the cell. Responds to stimuli. Moves the cell. Transports within the cell.
Term
Where is the Protoplasm located? Is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Located; inside the cell membrane
Animal and Plant cell
Term
Cell Wall
Definition
Provides the cell with structural support, protection, and acts as a filter. A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell.
Term
Where is the Cell Wall located? Is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; Tough, flexible, rigid layer On the outside of the cell.
Plant Cell
Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
selectively permeable lipid bilayer found in all cells. physically separates the intracellular components from the extracellular environment
Term
Where is the Cell Membrane located? Is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; On the outside of the cell. Under the cell wall if there is a cell wall.
Plant and Animal Cell
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
supports and protects the organelles
Term
Where is the cytoplasm located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; clear, thick, jellylike material Inside the cell membrane
Plant and Animal Cell
Term
centrosome
Definition
Made up of centrioles. Used in cell division
Term
Where is the centrosome located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; cytoplasm
Animal cell
Term
Golgi Body
Definition
Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex is found in most cells. It is another packaging organelle. The lysosomes form from the golgi
Term
Where is the Golgi Body located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; Cytoplasm
plant and animal
Term
Lysosome
Definition
breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules It has proteases. Digests old cell parts. "Suicide sac"
Term
Where is the lysosome located? Is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; small, round, with a membrane and found in the cytoplasm
Animal Cell
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
"Power house" of the cell. Where the ATP for the cell is made.
Term
Where is the Mitochondria located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; Cytoplasm
plant and animal
Term
Nuclear Membrane
Definition
Regulates what goes in and out of the nucleus
Term
Where is the nuclear membrane located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Surrounds the DNA and separates it from the cytoplasm
Plant and animal cell
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Stores the DNA, used for communication, controls everything in cell
Term
Where is the nucleus located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; cytoplasm
plant and animal cell
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Produces ribosomes
Term
Where is the nucleolus located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; has no membrane and is inside the nucleus
plant and animal cell
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
made of proteins and RNA. Produces proteins
Term
Where are ribosomes located? is it a plant or animal located?
Definition
Location; small bodies free or attached to E.R. in the cytoplasm
Plant and animal cell
Term
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER)
Definition
responsible for protein translation, folding and transport of proteins
Term
Where is the Rough ER located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; network of tubes or membranes with ribosomes attached found in the cytoplasm
Plant and animal cell
Term
Smooth ER
Definition
carries materials through cell
Term
Where is the Smooth ER located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; network of tubes or membranes found in the cytoplasm
Plant and animal cell
Term
Vacuole
Definition
store food, water, waste (plants need to store large amounts of food)
Term
Where is the Vacuole located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; fluid-filled sacs found in cytoplasm
Plant (Large) and animal cell (a lot and very small)
Term
Amyloplast
Definition
responsible for the storage of amylopectin, a form of starch. Amyloplasts also convert this starch into sugar when the plant needs energy.
Term
Where is the Amyloplast located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; cytoplasm
plant cell
Term
Chloroplast
Definition
contain the plant cell's chlorophyll, which provides the green color. Where photosynthesis takes place.
Term
Where is the chloroplast located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; green, oval usually containing chlorophyll (green pigment) found in the cytoplasm
plant cell
Term
Cilia
Definition
"For single cells, such as sperm, this enables them to swim.
For cells anchored in a tissue, like the epithelial cells lining our air passages, this moves liquid over the surface of the cell "
Term
Where is the cilia located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; outside the cell on the membrane
Plant and animal cell
Term
Flagella
Definition
For single cells, such as sperm, this enables the cells to swim
Term
Where is the Flagella located? is it a plant or animal cell?
Definition
Location; outside the cell on the membrane
