Two parents; offspring is a COMBINATION of both parents.
Storage space for food, water, and waste
Vacuole
Small round structure that helps in the making of proteins.
ribosomes

Cell wall and chloroplast
Three parts to the cell theory.
1. cells are the basic unit of life
2. all living organisms are made of cells
3. New cells come from pre-existing cells.
Which organelle does photosynthesis take place?

Cell wall
The two types of eukaryotic cells

What theory did the scientists Schleiden, Schwann, and Hooke create?
The cell theory
Can be rough or smooth
The endoplasmic reticulum
Jelly-like filling; holds everything together and provides nutrients to the cell
cytoplasm
How are eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells different?
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus; Prokaryotic cells do not.
What four structures are found in ALL cells (bacteria, plant and animal)?
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes
Is a bacteria cell prokaryotic or eukaryotic? List the reasons why.
Prokaryotic. Bacteria is unicellular, lacks a nucleus, and is smaller than plant and animal cells.
