Organelle parts of a cell
Endocytosis
Bringing large clumps of materials into the cell
Exocytosis
Moves out of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
A system of transport pathways used to transport materials through the cell. Smooth ER- have no ribosomes Rough ER- have ribosomes attached.
Lysosome
Breaks down/ digest materials into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell. Also, they help break down organelles that are no longer useful to the cell.
Passive Transport
Does not require energy.
Chloroplast
Found in plant cells; captures the energy from sunlight and makes food for plants. Helps with photosynthesis
Ribosome
Found throughout the cytoplasm in a cell; this is where proteins are made. Make proteins.
Golgi Apparatus (body)
Modifies, sorts, and packages materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release outside the cell.
Concentration
Molecules that water loves.
Cytoskeleton
Network of Protein filaments in a cell that gives the cell its shape and helps with movement
Diffusion
Passing through and change shape.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is how plants get there energy from the sun.
Cell Transport
Process by which cell brings materials in and out of the cell.
Vacuole
Stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. Plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.
Cell Wall
Strong, supporting, and protective outer layer around the cell membrane. Only found in plant cell
Centriole
Structure in a animal cell that helps with cell division
Chromatin
Substance found in chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled. Found in the nucleus
Nucleus
The control center of the cell that contains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA. Controls activities of the cell.
Cytoplasm
The gel-like portion of the cell outside of the nucleus. Holds all the organelles in place inside the cell.
Nuclear Membrane
The physical barrier separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Outer covering/layer of the nucleus. Controls what goes in and out of the Nucleolus.
Cell Membrane
Thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells; controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Hypertonic
Water move out of the cell
Isotonic
Water moves into and out of the cell
Hypotonic
Water moves into the cell
Facilitated diffusion
When molecules are to big to squeeze through the cell
Semi-permeable membrane
Allows things to move in and out of the cell.
Flagella
Also used for movement; flagella are long and thin and produce movement in a wavelike motion. Tail like structure
Nucleolus
Dark area inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made. Nucleolus makes ribosomes.
Mitochondria
Makes energy for the cell to use. The powerhouse of the cell.
Active transport
Requires energy
Cilia
Short hair like structure that helps the cell to move.
Osmosis
The diffusion or movement of water.
