GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
endoplasmic reticulum - ANS-system of membranous tubes and sacs that carries proteins and
other materials from one part of the cell to another
Cell Membrane - ANS-Made of phospholipid bilayer
Rough ER - ANS-Has ribosomes attached
Smooth ER - ANS-No ribosomes attached
Nucleolus - ANS-Where ribosomes are assembled
Function of Cytoskeleton - ANS-Helps cell maintain shape and helps the cell move
Microtubules - ANS-Part of the cytoskeleton that helps with cell division and builds flagella
and cilia
thylakoid - ANS-A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy
into chemical energy.
integral proteins - ANS-specific proteins embedded within the lipid bilayer; play important
roles in actively transporting molecules into the cell
,peripheral proteins - ANS-lie on only one side of the membrane and are not embedded in it
chylorophyll - ANS-A GREEN pigment that absorbs sunlight energy
plastids - ANS-organelles in plant cells that are surrounded by a double membrane and
contain their own DNA
peroxisomes - ANS-contain enzymes that break down fatty acids and amino acids, and
hydrogen peroxide (a toxic by-product of fatty acid metabolism)
monomers - ANS-simple molecules that build carbon compounds
polymer - ANS-a molecule that consists of repeated linked units
macromolecules - ANS-large polymers (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids)
monosaccharide - ANS-type of carbohydrate also known as a simple sugar
disaccharide - ANS-two monosaccharides combined to form a double sugar
polysaccharide - ANS-complex molecule composed of three or more monosaccharides
amino acids - ANS-monomers that link together to form proteins
peptide bond - ANS-a covalent bond created by two amino acids
polypeptide - ANS-a long chain of amino acids
, lipid - ANS-an organic macromolecule with a water loving glycerol head and water hating fatty
acid tails (e.g. triglycerides, phospholipid, steroids, waxes, and pigments)
carbohydrate - ANS-an organic macromolecule composed of monosaccharides made of
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with a 1C:2H:1O ratio (e.g. glycogen, starch, cellulose)
fatty acids - ANS-unbranched carbon chains that make up most lipids
triglycerides - ANS-three molecules of fatty acids joined to one molecule of glycerol
phospholipid - ANS-two hydrophobic fatty acids attached to a hydrophilic molecule of glycerol;
two layers of these makes up the cell membranewax
wax - ANS-type of structural lipid consisting of a long fatty acid chain joined to a long alcohol
chain
steriod - ANS-composed of four fused carbon rings with various functional groups attached to
them
nucleic acid - ANS-an organic macromolecule composed of nucleotides made of nitrogenous
bases between sugar and phosphate group (e.g. DNA and RNA); store and transport
important info
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) - ANS-contains information that determines the characteristic of
an organism and directs its cell activities
ribonucleic acid (RNA) - ANS-stores and transfers information from DNA that is essential for
the manufacturing of proteins
