A+
The use of any kind of microscope that uses visible light to observe specimens ANS Light Microscopy
uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen ANS Electron Microscopy
The disruption of a cell and separation of its organelles by centrifugation. ANS Cell Fractionation
A cells efficiency depends on its size. If the larger the cell the less efficient the cell is especially if it has a high
surface area to volume ratio. ANS Cell Size and Surface Area
Apart of the prokaryotic family of cells, and is the only living cell that does not have a nucli surrounding by a
membrane. ANS Bacteria Cells
No membrane bound organelles inside of the cell apart of the prokaryotic family. ANS Archaea Cells
Any cell that does not have membrane-bound organelles. ANS Prokaryote
Any cell that has membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus. ANS Eukaryote Cells
A cell organelle composed of RNA and protein; the site of protein synthesis. ANS Ribosome
The cell structure that collects extra water from the cytoplasm and then expels it from the cell ANS
Contractile Vacuole
This makes lipids and transports them throughout the cell; it also helps to detoxify drugs. ANS Smooth
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Contains digestive enzymes necessary for breaking down materials within a cell ANS Lysosome
, A membrane‐bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells; site of cellular respiration where energy is
created. ANS Mitochondrion
Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates ANS Vacuole
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell ANS Golgi
Apparatus
A cell organelle containing enzymes that catalyze the production and breakdown of hydrogen peroxide ANS
Peroxisomes
organelles used for photosynthesis ANS Cholroplasts
small organelle that contains and transports materials within the cytoplasm created by the Golgi body ANS
Vesicle
Long, thin fibers that function in the movement and support of the cell ANS Microfilaments
Rough ER (RER) is involved in some protein production, protein folding, quality control and despatch. It is
called 'rough' because it is studded with ribosomes ANS Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Threadlike proteins in the cell's cytoskeleton that are roughly twice as thick as microfilaments ANS
Intermediate Filaments
Spiral strands of protein molecules that form a tubelike structure
Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell ANS Microtubules
Specialized proteins that use energy to change shape and move cells or structures within cells. ANS Motor
Proteins
Anchor cells together so it can remain in a continuous sheet, there are four types, Plasmodesmata, integrins,
tight junctions, desmosomers. ANS Junctions
