Front 3

Lysosome

Back 3

It contains digestive enzymes which make it the digestive system of the cell. It's like LYSOL in the fact that it breaks down food, bacteria, and worn out cell parts. It recycles cells parts when it breaks them down.

Lysosome

Front 5

Phagocytosis

Back 5

The process in which cells take in food. Is related to the Lysosome.

Front 6

Ribosomes

Back 6

"Protein factories" for cell; they make proteins by joining amino acids together, which is a process known as Synthesis.

Golgi Complex/Apparatus/Bodies

Back 8

Modify, sort, and package molecules from ER for storage or transport out of the cell.

Golgi Complex/Apparatus/Bodies

Front 10

Jelly-like liquid enclosed by cell membrane. Provides a medium for chemical reactions. Organelles are found here and it is located within all cells.

Back 10

Cytoplasm

Front 11

Nucleus

Back 11

Controls normal activities in the cell. Contains DNA in the form of chromosomes. Bound by a nuclear membrane with pores. Usually the largest organelle.

Nucleus

Front 13

Nucleolus

Back 13

Inside of the nucleus. Disappears when the cell divides. MAKES RIBOSOMES, which go on to make proteins.

Front 15

Nuclear Membrane

Back 15

Double membrane surrounding the nucleus. Contains pores for materials to enter and leave the nucleus. Connected to the rough ER.

Nuclear Membrane

Front 17

Cell (Plasma) Membrane

Back 17

Composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins. Surrounds the outside of a cell. It is a living layer.

Back 18

Cell (Plasma) Membrane

Front 19

Mitochondria

Back 19

Generates cellular energy (ATP). More active cells have more mitochondria because the mitochondria is the source of cell respiration (the burning of glucose). It is surrounded by a double membrane and it has its own DNA.

Front 20

Generates cellular energy (ATP). More active cells have more of this because it is the source of cell respiration (the burning of glucose). It is surrounded by a double membrane and it has its own DNA.

Mitochondria

Front 21

Smooth ER

Back 21

Lacks ribosomes on its surface. Attached to the ends of the rough ER. Makes cell products that are used within the cell.

Front 22

Back 22

Smooth ER

Front 23

Proteins are made by ribosomes which can be found on this organelle's surface. Those proteins are then threaded into the interior of this organelle to be modified and transported, which only occurs within the cell.

Back 23

Rough ER

Front 24

Rough ER

Back 24

Proteins are made by ribosomes which can be found on the rough ER's surface. Those proteins are then threaded into the interior of the rough ER to be modified and transported, which only occurs within the cell.

Front 25

Centrioles

Back 25

ONLY FOUND IN ANIMAL CELLS! They are paired structures near the nucleus. Made of a bundle of microtubules. Pulls chromosome pairs apart to the opposite end of the cell to help with mitosis.

Front 27

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Back 27

A network of hollow membrane tubules. Is connected to the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane. Functions in synthesis of cell products and transportation. Has two parts: the rough ER (has ribosomes on surfacE), and the smooth ER (has no ribosomes on its surface).

Front 28

A network of hollow membrane tubules. Is connected to the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane. Functions in synthesis of cell products and transportation.
