Outer barrier of ALL cells that controls what enters and exits the cell
Cell Membrane
Which invention enabled scientists to actually see cells?
Microscope
Jello-like substance inside ALL cells that holds the organelles in place
Cytoplasm
Term that refers to an organism that is made of 1 cell
Unicellular
When comparing a cell to a city, which part of the cell would best be represented by a power plant, that provides energy to all parts of the city?
Mitochondria
The "powerhouse" of the cell that provides the cell with ENERGY
Mitochondria
