63%
A structural feature that contains cellulose Cell Wall
60%
The site of photosynthesis Chloroplast
54%
When the genetic material condenses it creates this structure. You should have 23 from each parent in every cell Chromosome
54%
The name for the membrane of above Nuclear Envelope
50%
The green, photosynthetic pigment that absorbs sunlight in above Chlorophyll
49%
A large organelle in plant cells that stores water and waste products while maintaining structural form Vacuole
49%
An organelle that packages proteins into above. Is also essential in exocytosis Golgi Apparatus
41%
tail like organelle used for extracellular movement (found mostly in prokaryotes) Flagella
37%
A specialized version of below that contains digestive enzymes Lysosome
35%
A smaller version of the large organelle that contains water. This version that can transport materials around the cell Vesicle
29%
Small hair like organelles that prevent the spread of pathogens in the lungs. For individual cells they are used for sensory and locomotive purposes Cilia
28%
Folds within above that increase cell metabolism through increasing the SA:V ratio Cristae
28%
Exist in large quantities and can bind mRNA to tRNA to create a polypeptide chain. This chain later becomes a protein Ribosome
27%
Is made up of many passages and functions to transport materials around the cell. It appears to be rough because it has many of above attached to it's surface Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
25%
The liquid minus the organelles and membranes Cytosol
24%
The membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell Cell membrane
23%
The site of rRNA Synthesis for Eukaryotes Nucleolus
22%
Structure that helps move above to either side in cell division Centrioles
21%
Is able to synthesis lipids and is described as smooth Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
21%
The fluid that surrounds the flattened sacs Stroma
20%
The protein channels that regulate molecule transportation in above Nuclear Pores
19%
The flattened sacs within above that collectively are known as grana Thylakoids
18%
The protein that genetic material wraps around to control gene expression Histone
17%
Similar to genetic material but is smaller and can transport genetic code from its membrane bound environment to the site of protein synthesis RNA
15%
These molecules make up the structure of above and have hydrophobic tails Phospholipids
12%
Fibers that that come out of above to attach to the condensed genetic material Spindle Fibers
12%
Gives the cell it's shape, facilitates movement and cuts the cell during the latest stage of cell division (cytokinesis) Cytoskeleton
11%
Gene products, These structures are made of amino acids and control most functions in the cell Proteins
10%
Enzyme that binds genetic material with nucleotides or mRNA to replicate or transport genetic information Polymerase
8%
Everything inside the cell minus the exterior membrane Protoplasm
8%
An enzyme that joins genetic material together after being transcribed for protein synthesis or replicated Ligase
7%
The enzyme that splits genetic material to allow replication or transportation of the genetic code Helicase
5%
protein components of above composed of actin that keep organelles in place and control muscle movement Microfilaments
5%
another protein component that provides structure and for the cell and assists in transporting organelles in cell division Microtubules
5%
Restricts the movement of above to prevent large substances moving through the membrane Sterol
4%
