| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell membrane | outer boundary of cell and allows things in and out of the cell |
| cell wall | additional layer of protection for a plant cell |
| cytoplasm | watery solution which organelles are suspended in |
| nucleus | contains DNA and controls the cell |
| rough endoplasmic reticulum | has ribosomes attached and transports proteins through cell |
| ribosomes | produces proteins for cell |
| golgi body | packages materials for export out of cell |
| vacuoles | storage of water, minerals, sugars and wastes |
| lysosomes | contains enzymes that digests waste for cell |
| mitochondria | converts chemical energy into ATP for use by a cell |
| chloroplasts | site of photosynthesis - converting sunlight into chemical energy |
| prokaryotic | type of cell, does not have a nucleus or compartments |
| eukaryotic | type of cell, has a nucleus and organelles |
| cell | smallest unit of life that can function independently |
| tissue | group of similar cells that perform a particular function |
| organelle | a component of a cell that has a particular function |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | creates and transports lipids throughout cell |
| differences between animal and plant cells | plant cells have cell wall, chloroplast, large vacuole |
| the only kingdom that consists of prokaryotes | monera |
