| Definition | Term |
| the narrow region between the inner and outer membranes | |
| where rRNA is synthesized | |
| consists of a small core protein with many carbohydrate chains attached | |
| extracellular structure of plant cells | |
| a network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm which organizes the structures and activities of the cell (support, motility, and regulation) | |
| two intertwined strands of actin which maintains the cell shape via tension bearing elements, changes in cell shape, muscle contraction, cytoplasmic streaming, cell motility, and c | |
| used to pump out excess water from the cell to maintain a suitable concentration of ions and molecules within the cell | |
| hollow tubes which maintains the cell shape (compression-resisting girders), cell motility, chromosome movements in cell division, and organelle movement | |
| located between the plasma membrane and primary cell wall that has a strong and durable matrix for cell protection and support | |
| plastids containing pigments which give fruits their orange-yellow hues | |
| microscope in which visible light is passed through the specimen then through glass lenses | |
| composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules necessary for cell division | |
| region near the nucleus, considered the microtubule organizing center | |
| specialized peroxisomes found in fat storing tissues of plant seeds to initiate the conversion of fatty acids to sugar | |
| sacs and tubules making up the ER | |
| cell surface receptor proteins that transmit signals between the ECM and the cytoskeleton | |
| microscope used for the internal ultrastructure of cells | |
| a double lipid bilayer with pore complexes that encloses the nucleus | |
| process of recycling the cell's own organic material | |
| synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs and poisons, storage for Ca+ | |
| the family related to plant organelles | |
| selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes | |
| sacs made of membrane | |
| thing and flexible wall first secreted by a young plant cell | |
| colorless plastids that store starch in roots and tubers | |
| an example of a glycoprotein which bind to cell surface receptors | |
| two subunits (large and small) made of rRNA and protein which carry out protein synthesis | |
| plastids containing green pigments and other enzymes and molecules to aid the photosynthetic production of sugar | |
| a netlike array of protein filaments that maintains the shape of the nucleus by supporting the envelope | |
| the fluid outside the thylakoids that contains the DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes | |
| these proteins bring about the bending of cilia and flagella by gripping microtubules within the organelles and sliding them against each other | |
| model in which the cisternae of the Golgi progresses from the cis to trans face of the Golgi, carrying and modifying the cargo as they move | |
| the semifluid, jellylike substance in which organelles and other components are found | |
| proteins with carbohydrates covalently bonded on them | |
| communicating junctions which provide cytoplasmic channels from one cell to an adjacent cell | |
| a framework of fibers extending throughout the nuclear interior | |
| a membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes used to digest macromolecules or autodigestion | |
| microtubular extension that moves in an oar-like rhythm perpendicular to its axis | |
| microscope mainly used for a detailed study of the surface of a specimen | |
| structures only visible during cell division, carrying the gene information | |
