Term	Definition
Regulate	To control something.
Ribosome	This organelle creates proteins for the cell.
Prokaryotic	Cells that do not have a nucleus.
Organelle	The parts of a cell. Each one has a specific function
Cell Wall	A thick protective layer around the outside of plant cells. This organelle gives plant cells a stiff and rigid shape.
Nucleus	The control center of cells. Contains the DNA of the cell (in eukaryotic cells)
Unicellular	Organisms made up of only one cell.
Vacuole	The organelle that stores extra water, vitamins, and other materials.
Organ	A group of tissue working together to perform a specific function.
Eukaryotic	Cells with a nucleus.
ATP energy	The type of energy that living things need. Produced in the mitochondria by combining sugar and oxygen.
Lysosome	The organelle that removes waste from the cell.
Tissue	A group of cells working together to perform a specific function.
Cell	The basic building blocks of living things
Multicellular	Organisms made up of more than one cell.
Organ System	A group of organs working together to perform a specific function.
Cell membrane	A thin, flexible barrier around the outside of all cells. This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell (selective permeability).
Selective Permeability	Choosing what enters or leaves.
Cytoplasm	The liquid that fills the inside of cells.
Chloroplast	The organelle that absorbs sunlight and turns it into sugar (photosynthesis)
Mitochondria	The organelle that converts sugar into ATP energy.
