| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| plasma membrane | is a thin coat of lipids that surrounds a cell |
| Cytoplasm | refers to all the cellular material inside the plasma membrane |
| Ribosomes | are structures in the cytoplasm where proteins are made |
| nucleus | of a cell is a structure in the cytoplasm and contains DNA |
| prokaryotic cells | are cells without a nucleus |
| prokaryotes | were the first type of organism to evolve and are still the most common organisms today |
| Eukaryotic cells | are cells that contain a nucleus |
| eukaryotes | organisms with eukaryotic cells |
| organelle | is a structure with the cytoplasm that performs a specific jo in the cell |
| viruses | tiny particles that may cause diseases |
| phospholipid bilayer | pholipids in the plasma membrane are arranged in two layers |
| cytoskeleton | crisscrossing the cytoplasm is a structure |
| mitochondria | is an organelle that makes energy available to the cell |
| ATP | (adenosine triphosphate) an energy-carrying molecule that is used almost universally inside cells for energy. |
| endosymbiotic theory | the prokaryotes became permanent guests of the larger cells, as organelles inside them. This theory is called the endosymbiotic theory |
| endoplasmic reticulum | is an organelle that helps make and transport protein and lipids |
| golgi apparatus | is a large organelle that processes proteins and prepares them for use both inside and outside the cell |
| vesicles | are sac-like organelles that store, vesicles are much smaller than have a variety of functions |
| vacuoles | sac-like organelles that store and transport materials in the cell |
| cell wall | is a rigid layer that surrounds the plasma membrane of a plant cell |
| central vacuole | most mature plant cells have a large central vacuole |
| chloroplasts | are plastids that contain the green pigment chlorophyll |
