| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that perform a specific function. |
| specialized cells | It’s just a cell is a. Cell perform a specific function. |
| organ system | Direct body activities and processes; An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a major function. |
| Vacuole | A sack inside a cell that acts as a storage area. |
| organ | A body structure that is composed of different kinds of tissues that work together. |
| unicellular | made up of a single cell. |
| Organelle | a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within a cell. |
| Multicellular | made up of multiple cells |
| Motocondia | Rod shaped structure that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | A cell structure that forms a maze of passengeways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another. |
| Lysosomes | a small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones. |
| Golgi body | a structure in a cell that receives protein and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell. |
| Cell membrane | A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell. |
| nucleus | Self structure that contains nucleic acids, the chemical instructions that direct all the cells activities. |
| Ribosome | A small green like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made. |
| cytoplasm | The thick fluid region of a cell located inside the cell membrane(in prokaryotes) or between the cell membrane and nucleus(In eukaryotes). |
| list what is inside the nucleus | Nucleolus, and chromatin is in a nucleus. |
| describe the difference between animal and plant cell structures | Animal cells don't have cell walls, they have a different type of vacuole, and one doesn't have chloroplasts and chlorophyll. |
| describe what the endoplasmic reticulum does for the ribosomes | Some newly main proteins are released through the wall of the ER. From the interior of the ER, the proteins will be transported to the golgi bodies. |
| Where ribosomes are made and why they are so important | they are made in the nucleolus and they (ribosomes) are so important because they make proteins for us |
