Cell
| Cell membrane | monitors and controls entry into the cell |
| Unicellular | made up of only one cell |
| Multicellular | made up of more than one cell |
| Prokaryote | organisms that lack a nucleus and a membrane bound organelle |
| Eukaryotes | organism whose cell has a distinct and organelles are called eukaryotes |
| Cell theory | 1)All living things are composed of one or more cells 2)the cell is a basic unit of structure, function, and organization in all cells 3)All cells come from pre-existing and living cells |
| Cell wall | thick outer wall that helps create turgor pressure and protects the cell |
| Chloroplast | collects light, water, and air to create glucose. chloroplast contain a pigment called cholophyll |
| smooth ER | synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steriods |
| Ribosomes | create proteins in a cell |
| Vacuole | store water, food, and air in a cell. maintain turgor pressure in a cell |
| Mitochondria | is the "powerhouse" of a cell |
| Cytoplasm | a jelly like liquid that fills the cell |
| Nucleus | contains genetic material in a cell |
| Organelle | a unit in a cell that has a special function |
| nucleolus | contains the genetic materials used to make ribosomes |
| Rough ER | is studded with protein manufacturing ribosomes |
| Golgi bodies | packages proteins inside a cell before they are sent out to there destination |
| lysosomes | breaks down old and unwanted substances in a cell |
| Turgor pressure | Is present in plants and helps plants stand straight. turgor pressure is causes by vacuoles pressure pushing the cell in an outwards direction |
| Endocrine system | releases hormones to the rest of the body |
| Immune system | protects the body from disease and infection |
| lymphatic system | is a part of the circulatory system comprised of lymph vessels which carry around lymph |
| homozygous | same letter |
| heterozygous | different letter |
