| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Carbohydrate | an organic compound originally formed as the products of photosynthesis; carbohydrates are a major source of metabolic energy |
| Protein | a chain of amino acids that is used for such activities as building cells and controlling chemical reactions |
| Amino Acids | compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen that serves as a building block of proteins |
| Lipid | a waxy or oily compound, such as a fat, that is made of fatty acids an glycerol |
| Nucleic Acid | a large, complex molecule made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus |
| Nucleotide | a subunit of DNA or RNA consisting of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous |
| Cell | the basic unit of structure and function in all living things |
| Organelle | a specialized structure that preforms a function within a eukaryotic cell |
| Nucleus | a large structure inside a cell that contains the genetic material (DNA or RNA) and controls the cell's activities |
| Cell Membrane | the thin, flexible barrier that surrounds the cell contents |
| Semipermeable | a membrane that allows only certain substances to pass through |
| Cytoplasm | the jellylike material inside the cell membrane but outside the nucleus |
| Ribosome | a cell organelle on which proteins are assembled |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | a system of membranes in which parts of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified |
| Golgi Apparatus | a stack of membranes in a cell that modifies and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum |
| Mitochondria | the organelles responsible for releasing energy from stored food molecules to power all cellular functions |
| Lysosome | the cell organelle that contains enzymes needed to break down materials in the cell |
| Cell Wall | a rigid structure outside of the cell membrane of all plant cells that is madde mostly of cellulose |
| Vacuole | a cell organelle that stores materials, including water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| Plastid | an organelle in plant cells that contains pigments; chloroplasts are a type |
| Chloroplast | the organelle found in plant cells and some othe organisms that captures energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy during photosynthesis |
| Eukaryote | an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles |
| Prokaryote | a cell that does not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles |
| Unicellular | an organism mad up of only one cell |
