7th grade protist and organelles.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Protist | A (normally) single celled organism with a nucleus. |
| Amoeba | Protist that hunts using pseudopods. |
| Paramecium | Protist that eats others with a gullet and moves using cilia. |
| Euglena | Protist with chloroplasts and a single flagella. |
| Volvox | Protist that lives in colonies and uses photosynthesis to make sugar. |
| cilia | organelle that looks like hair, helps some protists move around. |
| flagellum | organelle that is a whip-like structure used for moving around. |
| Gullet | A mouth like organelle of some protists. |
| Contractile Vacuole | an organelle that shoots out or excretes extra water and waste. |
| food vacuole | organelle that helps break down or digest food, can also store nutrients. |
| cytoplasm | clear gel like organelle that fills up the inside of the cell, other organelles float in it. |
| cell membrane | the outside of the cell, a semipermeable membrane that allows some things to pass in or out and offers support and protection for the cell. |
| stigma | the eyespot of some protists used to help detect the sun. |
| cytoplasmic streaming | when the cytoplasm of a cell flows like a river. |
| pseudopod | the (fake foot) organelle that stretches out to move and hunt for amoeba. |
| chloroplast | organelle that uses sunlight to turn water and CO2 into sugar and oxygen. |
| organelle | a structure with a function in a cell. |
| mitochondria | organelle known as the powerhouse of the cell. It takes sugar and oxygen and burns it for energy, making CO2 and Water in the process. |
| Ribosome | Organelle that makes proteins, the factory of the cell. |
| Nucleus | The organelle in the center of the cell. The brain that stores DNA |
| Nucleolus | Organelle inside of the nucleus that creates ribosomes. |
| Cell Wall | Organelle only for plant cells, built outside the cell to provide support and protection. Allows trees to grow really tall. |
| Lysosome | organelle that recycles older or broken parts inside a cell. |
| Eye Spot | An organelle that helps some cells detect changes in light levels. |
| Nuclear Membrane | The Semi-Permeable membrane of the nucleus |
