Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
cell membrane separates the inside of the cell from the rest of the world (a.k.a. cytoplasmic membrane or plasma membrane)
cell wall a stiff layer found in plant cells, outside the cell membrane (green in diagram at left)
chloroplasts organelles found in plants that contain chlorophyll (which produces energy from sunlight)
chromoplasts organelles that make and store pigments (they are what makes that flower so pretty)
chromosomes DNA, after it has been organized (think of a completed puzzle, rather than a box of pieces)
cilia little wiggly things on the outside of the cell membrane that let the cell move or feel
cytoplasm the jelly inside the cell-y.
cytoskeleton a network that supports the cell (made up of actin (red) and microtubules (green))
endoplasmic reticulum folds proteins and sends them to the Golgi apparatus (proteins gotta be folded juuust right)
flagella a flagellum is a whip-like appendage a cell can use to move (flagella is plural)
Golgi apparatus packages proteins before they leave the cell (it looks like a pile of pitas)
leucoplasts colorless organelles found in plants that store stuff (starches, lipids, proteins, if you're interested)
lysosome the "trash can" of the cell stores the waste products of the cell
microtubules part of the cytoskeleton, gives the cell structure and lets things move around the cell
mitochondria they make the energy for the cell (Powerhouses!)
nuclear membrane a lipid membrane around the outside of the nucleus it contains the nucleolus and the cell's genetic material
nucleolus made of proteins and RNA, it transcribes RNA and starts making ribosomes (nucleolus is the dark part)
nucleus the "control center" of the cell, it's where the DNA is stored
ribosomes make proteins some are on the ER, some float freely in the cell (kind of like how some people work in offices, and some work from home)
vacuole filled with water (and other stuff) plant cells always have these, some animal cells have them
