|
Cell Membrane
|
A thin layer around the outside a cell that protects the cell and controls what moves in and out |
outside
|
|
|
Cell Wall
|
Layer surrounding a plant cell, gives it shape and protects the cell of damage
|
Wall
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
an organelle in a plant cell that captures light energy. The cell turns this energy into chemical energy that the plant can use.
|
light energy
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
jellylike substance that fills up the inside of a cell. This substance helps the cell keeps it's shape. All cells organelles are suspended in it.
|
jello
|
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
organelle made up of tubes that processes and transport proteins from place to place inside a cell
|
Transport Proteins |
|
|
Golgi body
|
Organelle that processes packs and transports proteins to be sent outside a cell
|
in animal and plant cells
|
|
|
lysosomes
|
organelle that breaks down waste sometimes called the cells digestive system
|
only found in animal cells garbage disposal |
|
|
Mitochondria
|
organelle that converts food into energy often called the power plant of the cell
|
mighty power plant of the cell |
|
|
nucleolus
|
Inside the nucleus of a cell, makes ribosomes

|
|
organelle |
a small unit inside a cell with specific purpose |
|
|
|
protein |
a large molecule in a cell that carries out the function of life |
|
|
|
ribosome |
an organelle that makes proteins for a cell that carry out the functions of life. Proteins are important for a cells health. |
|
|
|
tissue |
a group of simular cells that work together |

|
vacuole |
an organelle that stores food, water, and wastes. |
|
|
|
Active Transport |
when molecules pass through a cell membrane using energy |
|
|
|
Diffusion |
when molecules move from high to low concentration |
|
|
|
endocytosis |
the process a cell goes through when a large particles enters the cell |
|
|
|
Equilibrium |
when molecules are spread out evenly throughout a system |
|
|
|
exocytosis |
the process a cell goes through when a large particle is removed from the cell |
exit |
|
|
osmosis |
the diffusion of water molecules across a cell membrane |
|
|
|
passive transport |
when molecules pass through a cell membrane without using energy |
no energy |
|
|
vesicle |
a compartment formed from a cell membrane during the process of endocytosis and exocytosis |
like a pocket |
|
|
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) |
Main fuel that is used for cell activety |
|
|
|
amino acid |
a chain of small molecules that makes up a protein in a cell |
|
|
|
carbohydrate |
a molecule in a cell that is made out of sugar and that is used for energy and energy storage |
|
|
|
dissolve |
to cause something to break up into small pieces |
|
|
|
lipid |
a molecule in a cell that stores energy or makes up cell membrane |
|
|
|
phospholipid |
a lipid that makes up cell membrane |
|
|
|
cellular respiration |
the process that cells go through to turn sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (atp) |
|
|
|
chlorophyll |
a chemical that absorbs light |
|
|
|
fermentation |
the breakdown of sugar into energy without using oxygen |
|
|
|
photosynthesis |
the process that plants go through to capture and use energy from the sun to make food |
|
|
|
binary fission |
the method by which prokaryotes form new cells |
|
|
|
cell cycle |
the process cells go through to grow, copy their DNA, and divide to make new cells |
|
|
|
chromosomes |
a tiny packet of DNA inside a eukaryote nucleus |
