100

This man observed work with his microscope and called the tiny boxes "cells"

Robert Hooke

100

This fills the space inside a cell. It is semi-fluid and is composed of water and dissolved materials.

Cytoplasm

100

This organelle provides the cell with the ATP it needs to perform its functions and activities.

Mitochondria

100

The least complex level of organization

Cell

100

Job or Purpose

Function

200

This cell type contains a nucleus and organelles

Eukaryotic

200

This organelle directs cell processes by providing DNA instructions. It is surrounded by its own membrane and is covered with pores.

Nucleus

200

This organelle stores water, waste, and nutrients

Vacuole

200

A collection of different tissues performing similar functions

Organ

200

The way something is built

Structure

300

This cell type does not have a nucleus or organelles

Prokaryotic 

300

This organelle is a series of flattened membranes. Cell products pass through these membranes and become packaged for delivery in or out of the cell.

Golgi Body

300

This organelle digests worn out cell parts and also plays a role to defend the cell from infection.

Lysosome

300

The skeletal system, muscular system, and cardiovascular system are all examples of this

Organ System

300

The opposite of simple; complicated

Complex

400

Simple, Compound, Light, Electron, & Transmission are all types of this science tool

Microscope

400

This organelle is a series of interconnected passageways. Proteins and lipids are synthesized (put together) here also. There are two varieties 'S' and 'R'.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

400

These are made by the nucleolus and their function is to follow DNA instructions to make stuff. They are free-floating or may be found attached to the ER.

Ribosomes

400

A collection of similar cells performing a similar function

Tissue

400

The name of the parts of something

Component

500

List each statement of the cell theory

1. All living things are made of cells 2. Cells come from pre-existing cells 3. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living things

500

This organelle is found only in animal cells. It is made of microtubules and is thought to play a role in cell division.

Centriole

500

The three differences between plant and animal cells are:

1. Plants have chloroplasts 2. Plants have a cell wall 3. Plants have a large central vacuole

500

The most complex level of organization

Organism

500

Specialized structures within a cell which perform all of the cell processes
