|---|---|
| Uses a series of lenses to magnify objects in steps. | Compound light microscope |
| Uses a beam of electrons to magnify structures smaller than a cell. | Electron Microscope |
| All organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms, and all cells come from preexisting cells | Cell Theory |
| Found inside of cells and they carry out specific functions in the cell | Organelles |
| These cells are without organelles | Prokaryotes |
| These types of cells contain a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. | Eukaryotes |
| central bound organelle that manages or controls cellular functions - The Control Center of the Cell | Nucleus |
| The flexible boundary between the cell and its environment. Helps maintain Homeostasis | Plasma Membrane |
| The process in which the membrane allows some molecules to pass through while keeping others out | Selective Permeability |
| A glycerol backbone, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group | Phospholipids |
| structural model of the plasma membrane where molecules are free to move sideways within a lipid bi-layer | Fluid Mosaic Model |
| These move needed substances or waste materials through the plasma membrane. | Transport Proteins |
| Fairly rigid structure located outside the plasma membrane that provides additional support and protection in plants | Cell Wall |
| Strands of genetic material, DNA, that contains the set of directions for making protein. | Chromatin |
| Makes ribosomes inside the nucleus | Nucleolus |
| Sites where the cell produces proteins determined by the DNA | Ribosomes |
| Clear, gelatinous fluid inside a cell. Where all the organelles exist. | Cytoplasm |
| The site of cellular chemical reactions. | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| a flattened stack of tubular membranes that sorts proteins into packages to be sent through the vesicles - Like a post office! | Golgi Apparatus |
| membrane bound compartments for temporary storage - Huge in plants. | Vacuoles |
| Organelles that contain digestive enzymes | Lysosomes |
| cell organelles that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy. | Chloroplasts |
| Group of plant organelles that are used for storage of starches, lipids, and pigments. | Plastids |
| traps light energy and gives leaves and stems their green color. | Chlorophyll |
| membrane bound organelles in cells that transform energy for the cell (Powerhouse of the cell). | Mitochondria |
| supportive structure within the cytoplasm for the cells | Cytoskeleton |
| thin, hollow cylinders made of proteins, which are part of the cytoskeleton. | Microtubules |
| smaller, solid protein fibers in the cytoskeleton | Microfilaments |
| Short, numerous projections that look like hairs, used for movement | Cilia |
| Longer projections that move with a whip-like motion | Flagella |
| The basic unit of living organisms. | Cell |
