Cell Parts
This organelle copies protein-building instructions from the nucleus
RNA
Stores genetic instructions needed to make all proteins in the organism
DNA
The basic unit of life
Cell
This organelle produces proteins
ribosomes
movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
diffusion
This organelle generates and stores energy for the cell
mitochondria
The stage of the cell cycle when a cell is not splitting into 2 cells
Interphase
Cells that have a nucleus
Eukaryotic
The control center of the cell
nucleus
The diffusion of water across a membrane
osmosis
A network of tubes and filaments throughout the cell
Cytoskeleton
Each section of DNA that has information for a particular protein
Gene
