| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell wall | a rigid outer layer outside the cell membrane in plants, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea that provides structural support, shape, and protection, preventing cell bursting from water intake, but animal cells lack them |
| cell membrane | separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. |
| Tissue | The process by which planting other auto troughs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water |
| nucleus | the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes. |
| Vacuole | Hey saclike organelle that stores water, food, and other materials |
| organelles | any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell. |
| ribosomes | an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell |
| cytoplasm | the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus. |
| multicellular | (of an organism or part) having or consisting of many cells. |
| Mitochondrion | Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they convert energy in food mart molecules to energy. The cell wall can use can be used to carry out its functions. |
| endoplasmic reticulum | The endoplasmic reticulum passageways carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another |
| lysosomes | License or small round structures, contain chemicals, and then break down certain materials |
| Golgi body | Golgi body receive proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum passage, them package them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell |
| unicellular | protozoans, certain algae, spores, etc.) consisting of a single cell. |
| organ | a part of the body that is made up of cells and tissues that perform a specific function |
| organ system | groups of organs that work together to perform specific functions essential for the survival of the organism, |
| specialized cells | cells that have specific structures and functions in the body. |
| division of labor | combines specialization and the partition of a complex production task into several, or many, sub-tasks |
| list what is inside of the nucleus | nearly all of the cell's genome. |
| describe the differences between animal and plant cell structures | Animal cells have centrosomes (or a pair of centrioles), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. |
| describe what the endoplasmic reticulum does for ribosomes | to make those proteins. |
| where ribosomes are made and why they are so important | All cells need ribosomes to make the proteins necessary for life. |
