The organelle responsible for storing nutrients and water.
Vacuoles
The organelles responsible for transportation of proteins throughout the cell; Think ambulances!
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
The smallest unit of structure and function in living things.
Cells
the living entity; most are made up of groups of organ systems.
organism
Are organelles alive?
No, organelles are not living. They perform functions in the cell to keep the cell alive.
Groups of organs that perform a similar function.
Organ Systems
BONUS: Do ALL cells have a cell membrane, including plants?
YES, all cells have a cell membrane. *There are a few exceptions*
The organelle responsible for sorting and packaging proteins.
Golgi Bodies; Golgi Apparatus; Golgi Complex
Name one component of the modern cell theory?
all living things made of cells; cells smallest living thing; cells from pre-existing cells; energy flow within cells; DNA passed from cell to cell; same chemic
Name one characteristics of living things?
organization, metabolism, self-reproduction, adaptation, growth & development, response to stimuli
The part of the cell that regulates what molecules enters and leaves the cell; protects the cell from outside environment
cell membrane
Groups of tissue that perform a similar function.
Organs.
The organelle found only in plant cells (and some fungi and bacteria) that helps strengthen and support the plant.
Cell Wall
The part of the cell responsible for the structure and framework of the cell
Cytoskeleton
The organelle found in plant cells and most algae where photosynthesis occurs; houses chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
What is the main difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Pro = No nucleus; Eu= NUcleus, so eukaryotes have a nucleus with DNA inside.
The gel-like fluid that fills over 50% of the cell; where chemical reactions happen within the cell.
Cytoplasm
What's the main structural difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The rough ER has ribosomes on them; Smooth doesn't.
BONUS: What's the main difference between vacuoles in plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have 1 Large Vacuole; Animal cells have many small vacuoles
The organelles responsible for producing the energy in the cell for biochemical reactions; the Powerhouse
Mitochondria
Groups of cells that perform the same function.
Tissue
The organelles responsible for clean up and keeping the cell free of unwanted waste
Lysosome
The organelles responsible for synthesizing (creating, forming) proteins for the cell.
Ribosomes
The 'control center' for the cell that also stores DNA in eukaryotic cells.
Nucleus
