cell theory is a scientific theory which describes the properties of cells. These cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction.

is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.

an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.

a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.

the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.

a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.

an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.

a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.

a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.

the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.

any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.

the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.

Cell Structure

Question	Answer
Cell Theory	cell theory is a scientific theory which describes the properties of cells. These cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction.
Plasma membrane	is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.
Eukaryote	an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.
Prokaryote	a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.
Cytoplasm	the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.
Vacuole	a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
Lysosome	an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
Ribosome	a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum	a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
Golgi Body	a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
Cytoskeleton	a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.
Centriole	a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
Nucleus	the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
Organelle	any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.
Cell	the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
