Section One--The Diversity Of Cells

Front 1

The smallest unit that can perform all the processes necessary for life.

Back 1

Cell

Front 2

The first person to describe cells.

Back 2

Robert Hooke

Front 3

All organisms are made of one of more cell

Back 3

First part of the cell theory

Front 4

The cell is the basic unit of all living things.

Back 4

Second part of the cell theory.

Front 5

All cells come from existing cells.

Back 5

Third part of the cell theory

Front 6

Cells take in food and get rid of wastes through their outer surface. More materials pass through its outer surface.

Back 6

Why a cell is so small

Front 7

A protective layer that covers the cell's surface and acts like a barrier

Back 7

Cell membrane

Front 8

Fluid inside of a cell

Back 8

Cytoplasm

Front 9

Structures that perform specific functions within the cell

Back 9

Organelles

Front 10

The genetic material that carries information needed to make new cells and new organisms.

Back 10

DNA

Front 11

Single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

Back 11

Prokaryotes

Front 12

Tiny, round organelles made of protein and other material

Back 12

Ribosomes

Front 13

The smallest cells known

Back 13

Bacteria

Front 14

Organisms made of eukaryotic cells

Back 14

Eukaryotes

Front 15

"many cells"

Back 15

Multicellular

Front 16

A rigid structure that gives support to a cell

Back 16

Cell Wall

Front 17

Cellulose

Back 17

A complex sugar made to make cell walls

Front 18

A protective barrier that encloses the cell, which seperates the cell from its environment.

Back 18

Cell Membrane

Front 19

Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell

Back 19

Proteins and Lipids

Front 20

A web of proteins in the cytoplasm. It keeps the cell's membranes from collapsing, as well as helping some cells move.

Back 20

Cytoskeleton

Front 21

A large organelle in a eukaryotic cell which contains the cell's DNA.

Back 21

Nucleus

Front 22

Controls the chemical reactions in a cell, and are made of amino acids.

Back 22

Proteins

Front 23

Organelles that make proteins

Back 23

Ribosomes

Front 24

A sytem of folded membranes in which proteins, lipids, and other materials are made.

Back 24

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Front 25

Organelle in which sugar is broken down to produce energy

Back 25

Mitochondrion

Front 26

Energy released by mitochondria is stored in this substance

Back 26

ATP

Front 27

Organelles in plant and algae cells in which photosynthesis takes place

Back 27

Chloroplasts

Front 28

The organelle that packages and distributes proteins

Back 28

Gogli Complex

Front 29

A small sac that surrounds material to be moved into or out of a cell

Back 29

Vesicle

Front 30

Vesicles that are responsible for digestion inside a cell. They contain digestive enzymes. They destory work-out or damaged organelles, get rid of waste materials, and protect the cell from foreign invaders

Back 30

Lysosomes

Front 31

Larger size, longer life, and specialization in cells

Back 31

The benefits of being multicellular

Front 32

A group of cells that work together to perform a specific job

Back 32

Front 33

Nerve tissue, muscle tissue, connective tissue, and protective tissue

Back 33

Four basic types of tissue animals have

Front 34

Transport tissue, protective tissue, and ground tissue

Back 34

Three types of tissue plants have

Front 35

A structure that is made up of two or more tissues working together to perform a specific function

Back 35

Organ

Front 36

A group of organs working together to perform a particular function

Back 36

Organ system

Front 37

Anthing that can perform life processes by itself

Back 37

Organism

Front 38

An organism made of a single cell

Back 38

Unicellular

Front 39

The arrangement of parts in an organism

Back 39

Structure

Front 40

The job a part in an organism does

Back 40

Function
