| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell | basic units of living organisms |
| Cell Theory | made up of 3 main ideas: 1.) all organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2.) cell is basic units of organisms 3.) all cellos come from pre-existing cells |
| Compound light microscope | uses series of lenses to magnify objects in steps |
| electron microscopes | uses beams of light to magnify structures up to 500 000 times their true size |
| Eukaryote | cells containing membrane-bound organelles |
| nucleus | organelle that mangoes or controls cellular functions |
| organelle | specialized mini organs inside cells |
| prokaryote | cells non containing membrane-bound organelles |

| phospholipid | glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group |
| Plasma membrane | flexible boundary between cell and it's environment |
| selective permeability | process in which membrane allows some molecules to pass through while keeping others out. |
| transport proteins | move needed substances or waste materials through the plasma membrane |
| cell wall | structure located outside the plasma membrane that provides additional support and protection |
| chloroplast | capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy |
| chromatin | strands of genetic material |
