| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell | A membrane bound structure that is the basic unit of life |
| cell membrane | The lipid bilayer that forms the outer boundary of the cell |
| cell theory | This says that all living things are made of cells, that cells are the basic unit of structure and function and that cells only come from other cells. |
| cell wall | A rigid structure that surrounds the cells of plants and most bacteria |
| chloroplast | A plastid containing chlorophyll, the site of photosynthesis |
| cytoplasm | The region of the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus |
| cytoskeleton | A network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps support the cell |
| eukaryote | A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| golgi apparatus | A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell |
| lysosomes | An organelle containing digestive enzymes, |
| mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell, produces energy (ATP) from oxygen and sugar(Cellular respiration) |
| nuclear envelope | A double membrane that surrounds the nucleus in the cel |
| nucleolus | The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus |
| nucleus | The organelle that contains the DNA and controls the processes of the cell |
| organelle | One of several bodies with a specialized function that is suspended in the cytosol of the cell |
| organelle | several types of body tissues that together form a function |
| organ system | A group of organs that interact to perform a set of related tasks |
| Prokaryote | A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| ribosome | An organelle that functions in the synthesis of proteins |
| tissue | a group of similar cells that carry out a similar function |
| Vacuole | stores water and nutrients for the cell; very large in plant cells |
| Vesicle | A membrane bound sac that contains materials involved in transport of the cell. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | an internal membrane system in which components of cell membrane and some proteins are constructed |
| Rough ER | That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes. |
| Smooth Er | That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes. |
