| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell | The Basic Unit of all living things. |
| Cell Theory | A fundamental concept of biology. |
| Cell Membrane | Thin flexible barrier that surrounds cells. |
| Nuclueus | A large membrane-enclosed structure that contains genetic material in the form of DNA. |
| Eukaryote | Cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei |
| Prokaryote | Cells that don't enclose their DNA in nuclei. |
| Cytoplasm | Fluid portion of the cells outside the nucleus |
| Organelle | Specialized structure that preforms important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell. |
| Ribosomes | Cells Organelle consisting of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in a cell ; the site of protein synthesis |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Internal Membrane system found in eukaryotic cells ; Place where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled. |
| Golgi Apparatus | Organelle in cells that modifies, sports, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell. |
| Vacoule | Cells organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. |
| Lysosome | Cells organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell. |
| Cell Wall | Strong Supporting layer around the cell membrane in some cells. |
| Cytoskeleton | Network of protein filaments in a eukaryotic cell that gives the cell its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement. |
| Chloroplast. | Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts into chemical energy. |
| Mitochondria | Cells organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. |
| Lipid Bilayer | Flexible double-layered sheet that makes up the cell membrane and forms a barrier between the cell and its surroundings. |
| Selectively Permable | Property of biological membrane that allows some substances to pass across it while others cannot; also called semipermable membrane. |
