Cells
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| chloroplasts | Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in a plant cells |
| cell membrane | Controls what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal cells |
| cell wall | Ridged outer layer of a plant cell |
| cytoplasm | Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found |
| mitochondria | Produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions |
| lysosomes | Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts |
| vacuoles | Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials |
| golgi bodies | Receives proteins & materials from the ER, packages them, & distributes them |
| endoplasmic recticulum | Has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another |
| ribosomes | Assembles amino acids to create proteins |
| nucleus | Contains DNA, which controls the functions of the cell and production of proteins; found in both animal and plant cells |
| nucleolus | Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes |
| chromatin | Tiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instructions for directing the cell's functions |
| simplest to most complex order | cells, tissue, organs, organ systems, organisms |
| cells | simplest structures that carry out all of the activities characteristic of life |
| tissues | composed of groups of specialized cells |
| cells can only come from | other cells |
| common characteristics of a cell | smallest living unit; can react to stimuli |
| organs | in multicellular organism; groups of tissues |
| all _____________ are made of cells | living things |
| most cells | specialized |
| plant cells only | capable of producing their own food; have only one large vacuole; have a cell wall |
| cell membrane | all cells are surrounded by this thin structure |
| prokaryotic | type of cell with no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles |
| eukaryotic | type of cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
