Term | Definition |
---|---|
Cell Membrane | protective layer that covers a cell's surface and lets in protein and nutrients |
Organelles | 1. small body in a cell's cytoplasm 2. The nucleus, the mitochondrion, the chloroplast, the Golgi apparatus, the lysosome, and the endoplasmic reticulum are all examples of organelles. |
Cytoplasm | 1. all of the organelles of the cell 2. Holds the cell together |
Nucleus | 1. In the center and hold the cell together 2. In a eukaryotic cell |
Prokaryotic cell | 1. no nucleus 2. DNA in cytoplasm 3. circular DNA 4. bacteria , yeast |
Eukaryotic cell | 1. has a nucleus with DNA 2. linear DNA 3. animal cell, plant cell, fungi |
Bacteria | 1. 1st cells on Earth 2. single cell (unicellular) 3. prokaryotic |
Cell | 1. The smallest functional and structural unit of all living things 2. (little room in Latin) |
Tissue | 1. similar cells working together 2. animal- nervous, epithelial, connective, muscle tissue 3. Plant- transport, protective, ground |
Organ | 1. structure that is made of tissue and has a special function 2. Animal examples- stomach, eye, kidney, lungs 3. Plant examples- leaf, stem, root |
Organ System | 1. Group of organs working together 2. examples- Digestive, respiratory, circulatory systems |
Cytoskeleton | 1. throughout the cytoplasm 2. a web of protection that gives shape and support |
Lysosome | More common in animal cells |
Vacuole | 1. Larger and plant cells 2. gives storage, digestion, and waste removal |
Nucleolus | Inside the nucleus and has it's own DNA and makes proteins |
Chloroplasts | Were photosynthesis takes place |
Golgi Complex | 1. Moves materials out of cell 2. protein packaging plant |
ER | Assists in the production, processing, and transporting of proteins |
Mitochondria | 1. "powerhouse of the cell" 2. breaks down fats and carbs |
Ribosomes | 1. Each cell has thousands 2. Make proteins 3. Found on the ER and are floating around the cell |
Cell Wall | 1. Found in the plant cell, fungi, and bacteria cells 2. Supports and protects the cells 3. Surrounds cell membrane |
