|
|
Cell Theory
|
states that all orginisms are made up of one, or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells come from other cells

|
organelle
|
structure in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell that can act as a storage site, process energy, move materials, or manufacture substances
|
|
|
ribosome
|
small cytoplasmic structure on which cells make their own proteins
|
|
|
tissue
|
group of similar cells that work together to do one job
|
|
