| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell wall | A ridged layer of non living material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms |
| Cell membrane | A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell |
| Nucleus | A cell structure that contains nuclear acids the chemical structures that direct all the cells activities |
| organelle | A unit in a cell that has its own function |
| ribosome | A grain shaped organelle in a cell that produces proteins |
| cytoplasm | The thick fluid in a cell, located inside the cell membrane to hold up organelles |
| mitochondria | This is where cellular respiration occurs, generating the cell's main energy molecule, ATP. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | A network of membranes that forms sacs and tubules. |
| Golgi apparatus | A stack of flattened, membrane-bound sacs (cisternae) that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to other parts of the cell or outside the cell. |
| vacuole | a sac like organelle that stores food, water, and other materials |
| lysosome | a membrane bound sac that helps store water, nutrients, and waste |
| multicellular | consisting of many cells |
| unicellular | consisting of one cell |
| tissue | a group of similar cells that perform a specific function |
| organ | a body structure that is composed of different kinds of tissues that work together |
| organ system | a group of organs that work together to perform a major, interconnected life function |
| specialized cells | cells in multicellular organisms that are different to have unique structures and functions, allowing them to perform a specific role efficiently |
| division of labor | in multicellular organisms, the way that essential life functions are divided among different cells, tissues, and organs, increasing the organism's overall efficiency and complexity |
| What is inside the nucleus | chromatin, the nucleolus, and nucleoplasm |
| The difference between animal and plant cell structures | a plant cell has a rigid, cell wall and an animal cell does not |
| What does the Endoplasmic reticulum does for ribosomes | the ER provides a location for protein synthesis and processing |
| Where ribosomes are made and why they are important | ribosomes are made in the nucleolus and are important for protein synthesis |
