A
The two main types of cells
Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic
How many cells does the human body contain
75-100 Trillion cells
What is the difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells
Prokaryotic - no nucleus
Eukaryotic- contain a nucleus
Everything inside the cell EXCEPT the nucleus
Cytoplasm
What is the function of a cell
Mr. Green
What is the function of a cell
Mr. Green
The "gatekeeper" controls what enters and leaves the cell
Cell Membrane
Our genetic blueprint found in the nucleus
DNA
What is an organism with a single cell called
Bacteria
The basic unit of life
Cell
The "highway" system of the cell that does NOT include lysosomes
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Keeps the cell clean and healthy
Lysosomes
Cell comes from the Latin word meaning what
Small room
Contains the DNA and controls the cells activities
Nucleus
Can you loose cells in your body
No, cells are capable of regeneration
These store food and water and dispose of waste
Vacuole
Located in the plant cell only, this allows photosynthesis to happen
Chloroplast
Synthesize or break-down the proteins
Ribosomes
The "post office" of the cell where modifying, sorting and packing take place
Golgi Body
The "highway system" of the cell that includes ribosomes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Process where plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make food
Photosynthesis
Provide rigid support and protection outside the cell membrane
Cell wall
What type of cells are plants and animals
Eukaryotic
Completes cell division by building fibers
Centriole
The "powerhouse" that produces energy
Mitochondria
