| Question | Answer |
| Cell Theory | All living things are made of cells. Not including a virus. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. New cells come from existing cells. |
| Organelle | A special part of a cell that does different jobs to keep a cell alive. , cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms. |
| Cell (Plasma) Membrane | It surrounds the cell and protects it and regulates what enters and leaves the cell “Gatekeeper”. |
| Cytoplasm | A mineral in a living celled organism that’s not including the nucleus. Holds parts of the cell and protects them. |
| Nucleus | Contains DNA, genetic information, it's near the center of the cell, it is called the “Brain”. |
| Chromatin | Is a way in the nucleus to make DNA take a smaller amount of space. |
| Chromosomes | Contains 23 pairs. Made of DNA and proteins. |
| Gene | DNA located on a chromosome. Gives you your characteristics. |
| Nucleolus | Part of the cell that makes ribosomes. |
| Nuclear Membrane | A double membrane that surrounds the nucleus. |
| Cytoskeleton | Fiber surrounding the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Shapes the cell and support all of its parts. |
| Microtubules | Controls what goes in and out of the cell. Covers the cytoplasm. |
| Microfilaments | Shapes the cell and support all of its parts. |
| Mitochondria | Produces/releases energy “Powerhouse” and it's called cellular respiration. |
| Cellular Respiration | Use oxygen to make smaller parts of food that make energy. |
| Chloroplast | Produces food through photosynthesis and it's in the category of plant cells. |
| Photosynthesis | When plants use the sun to give them food. |
| Centrioles | Organelles that are in the cytoplasm of animal cells. Help with cell division. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Connected, flat sacks, and helps to make proteins. |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | It combines fats. Carries out the balance of carbohydrates and steroids. |
| Ribosomes | Make new proteins. |
| Golgi Body/Apparatus | Is from the ER and is sorted in this organelle to be shipped or moved to new places. |
| Cell Wall | On the outside of the plant cells only, provides structure, and support in the category of a plant cell. |
| Vacuole | They are used for storage of wastes. |
| Lysosome | Digest and remove waste. Not usually in a plant cell. |
| Eukaryotic Cell | Larger, has a nucleus, newer, has a cell membrane, cell wall for plant only, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, and more parts in the cell. Plant and Animal Cells. |
| Prokaryotic Cell | Smaller, does not have a nucleus, older, has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA, protein synthesis, cellular respiration. Bacteria Cells. |
| Organic Molecule | Molecules composed of both carbon and hydrogen. |
| Dehydration Synthesis | The process of joining monomers together to form a polymer. This requires the removal of water. |
| Hydrolysis | The process of breaking a polymer apart. This requires adding water. |
| Protein Synthesis | Making proteins (TREBLAH). Nucleus holds the dna, then the ribosomes make the proteins, and lastly the golgi body packages them. |
| Enzyme | A specialized protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. |
| Phospholipid | Has a hydrophilic top (glycerol) and a hydrophobic bottom (fatty acids). |
| Semi-Permeable | Only allows small molecules to pass freely. |
| Animal Cell | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, nucleolus, mitochondria, cell membrane, vacuole, ribosomes, lysosomes, nucleus, centrioles, and a nuclear envelope. |
| Plant Cell | Vacuole, chloroplast, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleolus, ribosomes, nucleus, golgi apparatus, and a nuclear envelope. |
| Vesicle | Attached to Golgi Body. Transports materials. |
