A globular protein that links into chains, two of which twist helically about each other, forming microfilaments in muscle and other kinds of cells

Anchors the cilium or flagella to the cell, structure is identical to that of a centriole

Found in prokaryotes
Plants: protects the cell, maintains shape, prevents to much water intake

Stockpiling proteins
disposing of metabolic byproducts
holding pigments
storing defensive compounds
Tonoplast is the membrane that surronds it

A structure in the contrsome of an animal cell composed of a cylinder of microtuble triplets arranged in a 9+0 pattern

Present in cytoplasm of animal cells
important for cell division
contains two centrioles

Organelle found in plants
site for photosynthesis

Fibrous material that makes chromosomes

Contains genes in form of DNA

A short cellular appendage containing microtubules. A motile cilium is specialized for locomotion and is formed from a core of nine outer doublet microtubules and two inner single microtubules (the “9 + 2” arrangement) ensheathed in an extension of the plasma membrane. A primary cilium is usually nonmotile and plays a sensory and signaling role; it lacks the two inner microtubules (the “9 + 0” arrangement

Found in fresh water protists, pump excess water out of the cell to maintain the appropriate concentration of sales

Infoldings located in the inner membrane of mitochondria

Region between nucleus and plasma membrane
is eukaryotic cells this region houses membrane-bound organelles

circular flow of cytoplasm, involving myosin and actin filaments, that speeds the distribution of materials within cells.

Provides mechanical supprots
maintains cell shape
provides anchorage for many organelles
