This is a thin coat of lipids that surrounds a cell that forms the physical boundary between the cell and its environment.

100
Organisms capable of building food molecules themselves are known as this.
What are autotrophs?
100
3 unique features of plant cells are these.
What are the chloroplast, the cell wall, and the central vacuole?
100
Organelles made of protein and ribosomal RNA that synthesize protein are known as this.
What are ribosomes?
100
These are tiny particles that may cause disease that are not considered to be living things.
What are viruses?
200
Proteins that are only temporarily associated with the membrane and function in roles like cell identification or cell signaling are known as this.
What are peripheral membrane proteins?
200
These are cells with a nucleus that houses the cell’s DNA.
What are eukaryotic cells?
200
This is a short segment of DNA that contains information to encode an RNA molecule or a protein strand.
What is a gene?
200
This refers to all of the cellular material inside the plasma membrane, other than the nucleus.
What is the cytoplasm?
200
The organelle that is the site of photosynthesis is known as this.
What is the chloroplast?
300
A large organelle found in between the ER and the plasma membrane that modifies, sorts, and packages different substances for secretion out of the cell or use within the cell is known as this.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
300
The organization of multicellular organisms is this (in order of increasing complexity).
What is cell, tissue, organ, and organ system?
300
A network of membranes near the nucleus that function to transport and synthesize lipids and proteins is known as this.
What is the endoplasmic recticulum?
300
Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must eat or absorb their food are known as this.
What are heterotrophs?
300
A membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells that turns glucose into ATP is known as this.
What is a mitochondria?
400
These are cells without a nucleus that house the DNA in the cytoplasm rather than enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
What are prokaryotic cells?
400
Very large membrane-bound organelles (at least in plants) that have secretary, excretory, and storage functions are known as this.
What are vacuoles?
400
The ultimate source of most of the energy on the planet is this.
What is the Sun?
400
Multicellular cells, when separated from each other tend to do this.
What is die?
400
This biological polymer is a nucleic acid found in cells that contains the genetic instructions that cells need to make proteins.
What is DNA?
500
Small, spherical enclosures of cell membrane that are the basic tools for organizing metabolism, transport, storage of molecules, and chemical reaction chambers are known as this.
What are vescicles?
500
These are structures in the cytoplasm where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes?
500
This helps maintain cell shape, aids cell movement, holds organelles in place, and acts like a railway for transport within the cell is known as this.
What is the cytoskeleton?
500
The ability to allow only certain molecules in or out of the cell is referred to as this.
What is semipermeability?
500
Proteins permanently embedded in the plasma membrane that function in roles such as cell signaling or transport of molecules across the membrane are known as this.
