Cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| animal cell | A cell that consists of a cell membrane, the cytoplasm, and a nucleus. This type of cell can only be found in animals. |
| plant cell | A cells contains a vacuole which makes up the cell volume and a cell wall which is responsible for giving the cell strength and shape. |
| bacterial cell | a unicellular parasite that is not a plant or an animal and reproduces through scissiparity. |
| Mitochonddrian | They are organelles that act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. |
| Ribosome | the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. |
| Vesicle | a small anatomically normal sac or bladderlike structure. |
| Nucleus | The part of a eukaryotic cell that leads cell activity and contains genetic information stored in DNA. |
| Chloroplasts | Are membrane-bound organelles that use light energy and make food- a sugar called glucose- from water, carbon dioxide in a process know as photosynthesis. |
| Golgi apparatus | responsible for taking the proteins which were created by the ribosomes and making them bigger and better. |
| Cell membrane | the outside wall of a plant or an animal cell. |
| Cell wall | a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell; controls passage of substances in and out of the cell. |
| Cytoskeleton | helps the cell maintain its shape, aids in cellular movement, and helps with internal movement. |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | It acts as a storage organelle. It is important in the creation and storage of steroids. |
| Rough endoplasmic reticulum | |
| Lysosome | an organelle found in the cytoplasm of most cells. |
| Centriole | Help the cell when it is time to divide. |
| DNA | the material that carries all the information about how a living thing will look and function. |
| Flagellum | a lash-like appendage used for locomotion |
| Capsule | A sac that surrounds an organ. |
| Prokaryotic cells | an organism lacking a true nucleus |
| Prokaryotic cells | an organism lacking a true nucleus |
| Eukaryotic cells | an organism with cells characteristic of all life forms except primitive microorganisms such as bacteria. |
| Organelles | a specialized part of a cell; analogous to an organ; "the first organelle to be identified was the nucleus" |
| Unicellular | Having only one cell |
| Multicellular | Having more than one cell. |
| Nuclear membrane | protects the nucleus from outside dangers. |
| Nuclear envelope | The double-layered membrane enclosing the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. |
| Nucleus | a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction |
| Central vacuole | membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterial cells. |
