Structure of Cell

Cell is the [blank_start]basic unit of structure[blank_end] and [blank_start]function in all living things[blank_end]

Organelle is a [blank_start]cell structure[blank_end] that [blank_start]carries out[blank_end] a [blank_start]specific function within the cell[blank_end]

Cell Membrane [blank_start]covers the cell[blank_end] like [blank_start]"skin" covers your body[blank_end]

Cell Membrane [blank_start]focus the outside boundary[blank_end], [blank_start]it holds the cell together[blank_end]

Cell Membrane [blank_start]is porous[blank_end] and [blank_start]acts like a "window screen"[blank_end], [blank_start]allowing some materials to pass in[blank_end] or [blank_start]out[blank_end], but [blank_start]preventing others from moving in or out[blank_end]

Nucleus [blank_start]controls the cell's activities[blank_end] as the [blank_start]brain controls your activities[blank_end]

Cytoplasm is [blank_start]the region[blank_end] between [blank_start]the cell membrane and the nucleus[blank_end]

Cytoplasm is a [blank_start]gel-like material[blank_end] that [blank_start]acts as the "blood" of the cell[blank_end]

Cytoplasm [blank_start]suspends the organelles[blank_end] and [blank_start]allows movement within the cell[blank_end]

Nuclear Membrane [blank_start]surrounds and protects the nucleus[blank_end]

Chromatin are [blank_start]thin strands floating in the nucleus[blank_end] containing [blank_start]genetic material[blank_end], [blank_start]the instructions[blank_end] that [blank_start]direct the function of the cell[blank_end]-[blank_start]DNA[blank_end]

Chromatin [blank_start]stores genetic material (traits)[blank_end] that are [blank_start]passed on to each new cell[blank_end]

Chromatin - [blank_start]When an existing cell divides[blank_end], [blank_start]it passes on genetic materials[blank_end] ([blank_start]half the traits[blank_end]) [blank_start]to new individuals during reproduction[blank_end]

Nucleolus [blank_start]makes ribosomes[blank_end]

Endoplasmic Reticulum - [blank_start]a maze of passageways that move proteins[blank_end] like a "[blank_start]conveyor belt[blank_end]" from [blank_start]one part of the cell to another cell[blank_end]

Ribosomes - [blank_start]Some are attached[blank_end] to the [blank_start]outer surface[blank_end] of the [blank_start]endoplasmic reticulum[blank_end] and [blank_start]others float in the cytoplasm[blank_end]

Ribosomes [blank_start]receive directions[blank_end] from the [blank_start]nucleus[blank_end] on [blank_start]how to make useful proteins[blank_end]. [blank_start]These proteins are used[blank_end] for the [blank_start]building nd repair of organelles[blank_end].

Golgi Bodies is a [blank_start]flattened collection[blank_end] of [blank_start]sacs and tubes[blank_end]

Golgi Bodies can be thought of the [blank_start]cell's mailroom[blank_end]

Golgi Bodies [blank_start]receives proteins[blank_end] and [blank_start]other newly made materials[blank_end] from the [blank_start]endoplasmic reticulum[blank_end], [blank_start]packages them[blank_end], and [blank_start]distributes them[blank_end] to [blank_start]other parts of the cell[blank_end] or [blank_start]outside the cell[blank_end]
