Cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Animal cell | The cell is the basic structural, functional and biological unit of all known living organisms. |
| Plant cell | a cell that is a structural and functional unit of a plant. |
| Bacteria cell | a unicellular parasite that is not a plant or an animal and reproduces through scissiparity. |
| Mitochondria | an organelle found in large numbers in most cells. |
| Ribosome | a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. |
| Vesicles | a fluid- or air-filled cavity or sac, in particular. |
| Nucleus | the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth. |
| Chloroplast | a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
| Golgi apparatus | complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport. |
| Cell membrane | the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. |
| Cell wall | a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. |
| Cytoskeleton | a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence. |
| Smooth emoplasmic | The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle of cells in eukaryotic organisms that forms an interconnected network of membrane vesicles. |
| Rough emoplasmic | A membrane network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials. |
| Lysosomes | an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. |
| Centripetal | moving or tending to move toward a center. |
| DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. |
| Flagellum | a slender threadlike structure, esp. |
| Capsule | a small case or container, esp. |
| Prokaryotic cell | The prokaryotes are a group of organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus. |
| Eukaryotic cell | A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures enclosed within membranes. |
| Central | of, at, or forming the center. |
| Organelles | any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell. |
| Unicellular | consisting of a single cell. |
| Multicellular | having or consisting of many cells. |
| Cell theory | the theory that cells form the fundamental structural and functional units of all living organisms. |
| Nuclear membrane | the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells. |
| Nuclear envelope | nuclear envelope also known as the nuclear membrane |
| Nucleolus | a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase. |
