Generalization that all living things are composed of cells,and that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.

Part of a cell with a specific function.

Thin outer boundary of a cell that regulates the traffic of chemicals between the cell and its surroundings.

In an atom, the central core that contains protons and neutrons in a cell, that part that houses the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA.

Region of a cell between the nucleus and the plasma membrane.

Strong wall outside a plant cell's plasma membrane that protects the cell and maintains it's shape.

Cell lacking a nucleus and most other organelles.

Cell with a nucleus (surrounded by it's own membrane) and other internal organelles.

Double membrane that surrounds a cell nucleus.

Ball-like mass of fibers and granules in a cell nucleus.

Endoplasmic reticulum

Network of membranes within a cell's cytoplasm that produces a variety of molecules.

Cellular organelle that modifies, stores, and routes cell products.

Membrane-bound sac that buds from the endoplasmic reticulum or the golgi apparatus.

Membrane-bound sac containing digestive enzymes that can break down proteins,nucleic acids, and polysaccarides.

Cellular organelles where cellular respiration occurs.

Organelle found in some plant cells and certain unicellular organisms where photosynthesis takes place.

Cluster of proteins and nucleic acids that constructs proteins in a cell.

Long, thin, whip-like structures, with a core of microtubules, that enable some cells to move.

Short structures projecting from a cell and containing bundles of microtubules that move a cell through it's surroundings or move fluid over the cell's surface.

The cell performing a specific function for a large organ or tissue.

A self-replicating, small, fibrous, cylindrical-shaped organelle, typically located in the cytoplasm near the nucleus in cells of most animals It is involved in the process of nuclear division.

The lattice or internal framework of a cell composed of protein filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm, and has a role in controlling cell shape, maintaining intracellular organization, and in cell movement.
