cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Ribosomes | Makes proteins |
| Nucleus | Control center of the cell |
| mitochondria | bean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has its own ribosomes and DNA. |
| cell wall | A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. |
| DNA | genetics |
| RNA | ribonucleic acid |
| Mitosis | part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides |
| Meiosis | Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms |
| Photosynthesis | Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy. |
| cellular respiration | Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane |
| permeable | Able to be passed or soaked through |
| Semi-permeable | membranes that allow some substances through but not others |
| Multicellular | Consisting of many cells |
| Unicellular | Made of a single cell |
| Cytoskeleton | A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement |
| Organelle | A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell |
| Golgi body | A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell. |
| Eukarytic | cell contents are membrane bound- plants, animals, fungi, & protists |
| Nucleolus | Makes ribosomes |
| Vacuoles | Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another. |
| Lysosome | An organelle containing digestive enzymes |
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that perform the same function. |
| cell membrane | A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell. |
| prokaryotic cell | A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles; found only in the domains Bacteria and Archaea. |
| Vesicle | A small cavity or sac that contains materials in a eukaryotic cell |
| Organ | A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body |
| Chlorophyll | A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria |
| Cytoplasm | A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended |
| Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell |
| Chloroplast | An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs |
