Cell Biology Flashcards

Front

Ribosome

Back

They make proteins

Front

Nucleus

Back

The control center for the cell. It's like the brain. The nucleolus is where DNA is found.

Front

Lysosome

Back

Store digestive enzymes (chemicals). The enzymes are used to break down old cell parts (organelles). They also attack viruses and bacteria.

Front

Mitochondria

Back

Use food molecules to make energy. Called the power plant of the cell.

Front

Vacuole

Back

Stores water

Front

Golgi Apparatus

Back

Stores and directs the movement of proteins and lipids made in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Front

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Back

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is where proteins are made and modified. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum makes Lipids and gets rid of poisons and chemicals.

Front

Cytoplasm

Back

Gel-like material that fills the cell and holds all organelle.

Front

Cell Membrane

Back

Regulates what goes in and out of the cell.

Front

Cytoskeleton

Back

Gives the cell structure.
