thin, flexible barrier around the cell
cell membrane
organelle found in plant cells that does photosynthesis
chloroplast
general term for a subcellular structure that performs a specific job in the cell
organelles
membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells that act as a storage space for water and other molecules in the cell
says 1)all living things are made of cells, 2)cells are the smallest unit of structure and function of living things, 3)all cells come from other cells
cell theory
macromolecule that helps make up the cell membrane
lipid
Jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of cells
Cytoplasm
create proteins; located in the cytoplasm and on the RER
ribosomes
type of cell that contains membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus
eukaryotic
do not have a nucleus
prokaryotic
What controls most of the cell processes and contains the hereditary information of DNA
nucleus
macromolecule found in the nucleus
DNA
small dense region that makes up most nuclei, creates ribosomes
nucleolus
pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs energy and makes plants green
chlorophyll
creates proteins then edits and packages them; has ribosomes on it
rough endoplasmic reticulum
type of macromolecule that is produced in the chloroplast in plant cells (the general term)
carbohydrate
provides additional structure for plant cells
cell wall
small organelle that is filled with enzymes; acts like a garbage truck to get rid of waste
lysosomes
small storage space in an animal cell; much smaller than in the plant cell
vacuole
endoplasmic reticulum
Uses energy from food to make high-energy molecules called ATP
Mitochondrion
macromolecule that is made by the ribosomes
protein
packages and transports proteins
golgi apparatus
has organelles that use energy from the sun to make energy-rich food molecules (glucose)
plant cell
helps detoxify the cell and creates lipids; does not have ribosomes on it
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
