It is a small body in a cells cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function.
What are organelles?
100
a group of similar cells that perform a common function
What is tissue?
100
is a network of proteins filaments that gives shape and supports to cells.
What is cytoskeleton?
100
It is a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane. It provides support and protection to the cell.
What is the cell wall?
200
A single celled organism that doesn't have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
What is a prokaryote?
200
The region enclosed by the cell membrane that includes the fluid and all the organelles
What is the cytoplasm?
200
a structure that is made up of a collection of tissue that carries out a specialized function
What is an organ?
200
The mitochondrion (which is an organelle)
Where does cellular respiration occur?
200
It is a fluid filled vesicle found in the cells of most animals, plants and fungi. In plants, there is a large central vacuole that stores water and supports the cell.
What is a vacuole?
300
it is an organism made up of cells that contain their DNA in a nucleus.
What is a eukaryote?
300
Matthias Schleiden, Thoedor Schwann, Rudolf Virchow
Who is responsible for The Cell Theory?
300
A group of organs that work together to perform body functions (each organ system has a specific job)
What is the Organ System?
300
Ribosomes
Which organelle is responsible for making proteins?
300
In plants it is an organelle where photosynthesis occurs
What are chloroplasts?
400
a protective layer that covers a cells surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and the cells environment
What is the cell membrane?
400
It lists 3 basic characteristics of all cells and organisms: all organisms are made up of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of all organisms; all cells come from existing cells
What is the Cell Theory?
400
Structure is the arrangement of parts in an organism (cells, tissue, organs and organ systems make up the structure of a multicellular organism)
What is structure?
400
The membrane bound organelle that packages and distributes materials such as proteins.
What is the golgi complex?
400
They are organelles that contain digestive enzymes which break down worn out or damaged organelles, waste materials or foreign invaders of the cell.
What are lysosomes?
500
It is the genetic material that provides instructions for all cell processes.
What is DNA?
500
Robert Hooke in 1965
Who was the first person to describe cells?
500
The activity of each part in an organism. The structure of a cell, tissue, or organ determines its function.
What is function?
500
It is a system of membranes in the cytoplasm near the nucleus. It assists in the production, processing and transport of proteins and the production of lipids.
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
500
Because they contain chlorophyll (which absorbs energy in sunlight used to make sugar)
