Question | Answer |
---|---|
chloroplasts | Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in a plant cells |
cell membrane | Controls what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal cells |
cell wall | Ridged outer layer of a plant cell |
cytoplasm | Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found |
mitochondria | Produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions |
lysosomes | Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts |
vacuoles | Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials |
golgi bodies | Receives proteins & materials from the ER, packages them, & distributes them |
endoplasmic recticulum | Has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another |
ribosomes | Assembles amino acids to create proteins |
nucleus | Contains DNA, which controls the functions of the cell and production of proteins; found in both animal and plant cells |
nucleolus | Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes |
chromatin | Tiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instructions for directing the cell's functions |
simplest to most complex order | cells, tissue, organs, organ systems, organisms |
cells | simplest structures that carry out all of the activities characteristic of life |
tissues | composed of groups of specialized cells |
cells can only come from | other cells |
common characteristics of a cell | smallest living unit; can react to stimuli |
organs | in multicellular organism; groups of tissues |
all _____________ are made of cells | living things |
most cells | specialized |
plant cells only | capable of producing their own food; have only one large vacuole; have a cell wall |
cell membrane | all cells are surrounded by this thin structure |
prokaryotic | type of cell with no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles |
eukaryotic | type of cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
