cells

7. (singular = mitochondrion) cellular organelles responsible for carrying out cellular respiration, resulting in the production of ATP, the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule
9. an instrement that magnifies an object
10. compartment or sac within a cell
12. small,round organelle that contains hydrogen peroxide, oxidizes fatty acids and amino acids, and detoxifies many poisons
13. entire region between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope, consisting of organelles suspended in the gel-like cytosol, the cytoskeleton, and various chemicals
15. cell cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and several other membrane-bound compartments or sacs
16. green pigment that captures the light energy that drives the light reactions of photosynthesis
17. semi-solid fluid inside the nucleus that contains the chromatin and nucleolus
18. an intstrument that magnifies an object using a beam of electrons passed and bent through a lens system to visualize a specimen
21. large plant cell organelle that regulates the cell’s storage compartment, holds water, and plays a significant role in cell growth as the site of macromolecule degradation
23. plant cell organelle that carries out photosynthesis
24. gel-like material of the cytoplasm in which cell structures are suspended
25. region in animal cells made of two centrioles
26. darkly staining body within the nucleus that is responsible for assembling the subunits of the ribosomes

1. see unified cell theory
2. cellular structure that carries out protein synthesis
3. phospholipid bilayer with embedded (integral) or attached (peripheral) proteins, and separates the internal content of the cell from its surrounding environment
4. structure within the nucleus that is made up of chromatin that contains DNA, the hereditary material
5. membrane-bound sac, somewhat larger than a vesicle, which functions in cellular storage and transport
6. organelle in an animal cell that functions as the cell’s digestive component; it breaks down proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and even worn-out organelles
8. an instrument that magnifies an objectusing a beam visible light passed and bent through a lens system to visualize a specimen
11. double-membrane structure that constitutes the outermost portion of the nucleus
14. cell organelle that houses the cell’s DNA and directs the synthesis of ribosomes and proteins
19. protein-DNA complex that serves as the building material of chromosomes
20. small,membrane-bound sac that functions in cellular storage and transport; its membrane is capable of fusing with the plasma membrane and the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus
22. rigid cell covering made of various molecules that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell
