the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. {eukaryotic or prokaryotic].

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

A prokaryote is a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus

A eukaryote is any organism whose cells have a cell nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes.

multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell.

Non-Living, Pysical rather than biological. Sun, rocks, air

Plasma membrane (Cell Membrane) The Gatekeeper

Membrane that surrounds a cell. It controls which substances move into and out of the cell

a rigid layer surrounding the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. It provides support to a plant.

a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.

Mitochondria (Power Plant of the Cell)

an organelle found in large numbers in most cells.It converts food energy to energy used by the cell.

Fluid material within a living cell. It fills most of the cell and allows organelles to move around in a cell.

Organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It breaks down food particles and worn-out cell parts.

Control center of the cell. It directs cell activities

is the fundamental structural and functional unit of living matter and that the organism is composed of autonomous cells with its properties being the sum of those of its cells.

tissue is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organ.

a group of tissues in a living organism that have been adapted to perform a specific function.

an organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.

An individual living thing that can react to stimuli, reproduce, grow, and maintain homeostasis. It can be a virus, bacterium, protist, fungus, plant or an animal.

The ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)

Organelle that processes and transports proteins needed by the cell

Organelle that processes and transports substances other than proteins. It has no ribosomes.

Golgi Apparatus (Cell Warehouse)

An organelle that packages and distributes proteins and materials from the ER and sends them to other parts of the cell

the hereditary material in a cell that carries instructions for making proteins

A large sac filled with water and makes a plant more rigid. It helps stand tall!

Plant organelle that makes food for cells using energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

Produce proteins needed by the cell
