| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Theory | A set of related hypotheses that have been tested and confirmed many times. |
| CHLOROPLASTS | Chlorophyll-containing cell organelles found in cells of green plants and some poroitst; capture light energy from the sun, whic is converted to chemical energy in food molecules. |
| ATP | The main energy currency of cells. |
| PROKARYOTES | Cells which lack a nucleus and other internal organelles. |
| CILIA | Hairlike structures that protrude from the surface of some eukaryotic cells which can provide movement or move substances. |
| MICROFILAMENTS | Thin, solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells. |
| MITOCHONDRIA | An organelle that harvests energy fornm organic compounds to make ATP. |
| VESICLE | Small, membrane-bound sac that transports substances in cells. |
| CELL WALL | A structure in plant cells surrounding the cell membrane that supports and protects the cell. |

| GOLGI APPARATUS | Set of flattened, membrane-bound sacs that serves as the packaging and distribution center of the cell. |
| FLAGELLA | Long, threadlike structues that protrude from a cell's surface and enable movement. |
| LYSOSOMES | Small spherical organelles that contain the cell's digestive enzymes. |
| ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM | Extensive system of internal membranes that move proteins and other substances through the cell. |
| CELL MEMBRANE | A structure that encloses the cytoplasm and separates it from the cells surroundings. |
| CENTRAL VACUOLE | A large membrane-bound space that stores water and may contain many other substances. |
| RIBOSOMES | Cellular structures on which proteins are made. |
| CYTOSKELETON | Cytoplasmic network of protein filaments that play an essential role in cell movement, shape, and division. |
