Cytoplasm
The DNA of the cell is contained here
Nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum

Cell
This protective layer decides what comes in and out of a cell

When only certain molecules can pass through the membrane and certain molecules can't
Selective Permeability
The organelle that manufactures proteins
Ribosomes
The cells that make up our bodies and have a "True Nucleus"
Eukaryotes
Gives plant cells shape
Cell Wall
The movement of substances through a membrane without the use of the cell's energy
Passive Transport
The powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Filled with enzymes, theses organelles dissolve away unneeded cell structures and foreign substances.
Lysosomes
This organelle uses sunlight to make food for the cell and is only found in plant cells
Chloroplast
Three things found in a plant cell that are not in an animal cell.
Requires the cell to use its own energy to move substances through a membrane
Active Transport
Chemicals are packaged here and sent around the cell and sometimes transported across the membrane
Golgi Apparatus
This organelle uses sunlight to make food for the cell and is only found in plant cells.
Chloroplast
The idea that a cell cannot be reduced to something less complex and still function properly
Irreducible Complexity.
Gooey slime on the outside of some bacteria to protect cell from harmful substances and from drying out
DAILY DOUBLE
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis
Where the animal cell stores its food, water, proteins, fat and wastes.
