cell homeostasis processes that include: obtaining energy, waste removal & reproducing
role of microscopes over time, the technology of this tool has evolved so scientists are able to learn and observe so much more about life.
cell wall this organelle provides shape, support, and protection to the cell and its organelles in plants
cytoplasm this organelle holds the components of the cell and protects them from damage. It also stores the molecules required for cellular processes.
mitochondria this organelle produces energy, regulates metabolism and promotes cell growth.
cell membrane also called the plasma membrane, this organelle regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell. Allows for mobility in animals.
vacuoles membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that store materials and transport waste. Plant cells have one large vacuole that stores water for photosynthesis, animal cells have multiple smaller vacuoles.

lysosome this organelle breaks down fats and sends

scientific law a rule that describes a pattern in the natural world. Example: the harder the ball is hit, the faster it will travel.
