Week 4 Vocabulary Practice : Cell

A selectively permeable membrane of the cells, which is composed of a lipid bilayer and proteins. Controls the movement of molecules between the inside of the cell with its surroundings.

• Cell Membrane

• nuclear membrane

• Golgi Apparatus

• Ribosomes

Jelly-like substance, found between the cell membrane and the nucleus.  It holds most of the organelles in the cell

• Cell Membrane

• vacuole

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosomes

Network of membranous canals filled with fluid. They are the transport system of the cell and are involved in protein manufacture.

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• vacuole

• Cytoplasm

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Network of membranous canals filled with fluid. They are the storage organelle, associated with the production of lipids, and steroids, and are also responsible for detoxifying the cell.

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• vacuole

• Cytoplasm

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

A double membrane-bound, sausage-shaped organelle, found in almost all eukaryotic cells. This is also called the "powerhouse of the cell" because it is where the majority of the energy (ATP) is produced.

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Double membrane-bound organelles that are present in the mesophyll cells of leaves, which store chlorophyll and other carotenoid pigments. These pigments are responsible for trapping light energy for photosynthesis.

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Non-membrane-bound and are found in close association with the endoplasmic reticulum. Its primary function is protein synthesis,

• lysosome

• mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

A membrane-bound organelle, which is mainly composed of a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae. This cell organelle is primarily responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids to targeted destinations.

• lysosome

• Golgi Apparatus

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

Made up of two mutually perpendicular structures. It gives rise to spindle fibers during mitosis in animal cells.

• lysosome

• Golgi Apparatus

• Centrioles

• Ribosome

The largest, double membrane-bound organelles, contains all the cell’s genetic information. Controls the activity of the cell, helps in cell division, and controls hereditary characteristics.

• lysosome

• nucleus

• Centrioles

• Ribosome
