Vocabulary
A type of organism that can produce its own food using photosynthesis
Autotroph
Bacteria are the most common example of this type of cell
Prokaryotic Cell
The name of the liquid that fills the inside of all types of cells
Cytoplasm
Eukaryotic and multicellular organisms. All are autotrophs and carry out photosynthesis
Plant Kingdom
A type of organism that can not produce its own food/energy
Heterotroph
This type of cell has a true nucleus which contains the genetic material
Eukaryotic
This is the strong and rigid part on the outside of the cell which protects and gives shape to the cell. Animal cells do not have this
Cell Wall
The part of eukaryotic cells which controls the functions of the cell and contains the DNA
Nucleus
Eukaryotic and multicellular organisms. They are heterotrophs and can move around on their own
Animal Kingdom
The most basic type of cell, it does not have a nucleus
Prokaryotic cells
Plant and animal cells are the two types of __________ cells
The organelles which produces energy through cellular respiration
Mitochondria
The organelle that makes proteins for the cell
Ribosomes
Eukaryotic, can be single cell or multi-cellular. Can be autotrophs (algae) or heterotrophs (protozoans). Not all can move on their own
Protist Kingdom
A more complex type of cell, it does have a nucleus
Eukaryotic cell
In this type of cell, the DNA/genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm of the cell
Prokaryotic
An organelle that uses energy from the sun to generate energy by photosynthesis. Found in plants and algae
Chloroplast
This organelle stores food, minerals, and water inside of a cell
Vacuole
They are eukaryotic and heterotrophs. Can be single cells (yeast) or multi-cellular (mushrooms and mold). They can not move on their own.
Fungi kingdom
__________ cells are single-cell organisms which reproduce asexually
Prokaryotic
The outer layer which surrounds all cells and controls what goes in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
Prokaryotic, single-cell organisms. Mainly bacteria
Monera Kingdom
