Characteristics of Cells
Any living thing
What is an organism?
A type of organism that is made up of one or more of its cells and contains membrane-bound organelles and includes a nucleus.
What is a eukaryote?
The activity in each part of a cell.
What is the cell function?
An organelle that makes proteins.
What are ribosomes?
A group of organs that work together to perform body functions.
What is an organ system?
The 3 basic characteristics of cells
What is the cell theory?
Genetic material that contains information needed for all cell processes.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The arrangement of the cell's parts.
What is the cell structure?
It assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and making of lipids.
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
It contains digestive enzymes that break down worn-out/damaged organelles, waste materials, and foreign invaders in the cell.
What are lysosomes?
The smallest functional and structural unit of all living things
What is a cell?
A type of organism that made up of one of its type of cell; it does not have membrane-bound organelles or a nucleus.
What is a prokaryote?
An organism that contains only one cell that is responsible for carrying out all life processes.
What is a unicellular organism?
An organelle that packages and distributes materials.
What is the Golgi Complex?
A structure made up of a collection of tissues.
What is an organ?
A protective layer that covers the cell surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and its environment
What is the cell membrane?
It's the organelle where cellular respiration takes place.
What are mitochondria?
A group of similar cells that perform a common function.
What is a tissue?
A rigid-like structure that surrounds the cell membrane around a plant cell and provides support and protection.
What is a cell wall?
The source of most actions in the cell.
What are proteins?
A region enclosed by the cell membrane; includes the fluid and all of the organelles of the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
A network of protein filaments that gives shape and support to the cell.
What is the cytoskeleton?
An organism that is made up of one or more cells.
What is a multicellular organism?
Organelles where photosynthesis occurs.
What are chloroplasts?
A small body in the cell's cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function.
What is an organelle?
