High School Biology

• The nucleus is the control center of the cell.
• Nucleolus - site where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis occurs
• Chromatin - DNA, proteins, and other molecules that make up chromosomes
• Nucleolus - The site where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules are synthesized
• Chromatin - A complex mixture of DNA, proteins, and other substances that make up chromosomes
• Cytoplasm - fluid-like substance inside the plasma membrane
• Cytoplasm - fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus
• Endoplasmic reticulum - network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and transport
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - network of flattened sacs involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism
• Golgi Apparatus - modifies, packages, and transports substances within cells
• Golgi apparatus - modifies and packages proteins for secretion or transportation within the cell
• Cytoplasm - A gel-like substance within cells that contains organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and ribosomes.
• Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, centriole, and flagella/cilia.
• Chloroplasts - Organelle found only in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are involved in photosynthesis
• Mitochondria - Organelle responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration
• Cytoplasm - The fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus
• Endoplasmic Reticulum - network of flattened sacs called cisternae
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - Network of flattened sacs called cisternae that produce lipids and transport materials within cells
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - A network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and transport
• Golgi Apparatus - organelle responsible for packaging and modifying proteins
• Golgi apparatus - organelle responsible for packaging and modifying proteins
• Golgi Apparatus - Modifies and packages newly made products into vesicles for transportation to different parts of the cell or outside the cell
• Golgi Apparatus - Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER
• Mitochondria - organelles responsible for producing energy through respiration
• Golgi Apparatus - modifies and packages proteins produced by the endoplasmic reticulum
• Lysosome - organelle containing digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials
• Lysosome - small vesicles containing digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials within cells
• Lysosome - sac containing digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials within cells
• Lysosome - Contains digestive enzymes used by the cell to break down waste material
• Mitochondria - organelles responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration
• Mitochondria - site of aerobic respiration; produces energy through oxidation reactions
• Nucleus - contains genetic material (DNA)
• Lysosomes - organelles that contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials
• Mitochondria - organelle responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration
• Mitochondrion - The powerhouse of the cell where energy is produced through respiration.
• Nucleus - contains genetic material and controls cell activities
• Chloroplast - An organelle found only in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.
• Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles but contain DNA in a nucleoid region, ribosomes, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and plasmids.
• The three types of eukaryotic cells are animal cells, plant cells, and fungal cells.
• Vacuole - A large storage compartment filled with water and other materials.
