Fundamental unit of life

Organelle for STORAGE of WATER (and some food & waste). It is much bigger in a plant cell, and when empty it causes a plant to droop/wilt.

The part of the cell that CONTROLS/directs all cell activities, such as cell REPRODUCTION (because it has DNA:the recipe for making a cell). Brain/boss of the cell.

These organelles use oxygen to turn glucose sugar into ATP that the cell uses for ENERGY. Then it releases carbon dioxide waste gas. (cellular respiration) Lungs of the cell.

A MITOCHONDRION absorbs this gas and uses this gas to (perform cellular respiration) release energy from food..

This organelle contains acid/enzymes that break down or digests food/nutrients, and old cell parts to be recycled into new cell parts. Not often found in plant cells.

The hard protective outer part of a plant cell that gives the cell it's flat-sided shape, and is made of rigid cellulose fibers.

Semi-permeable (porous/tiny holes) layer that both plant and animal cells have, that allows good stuff like oxygen and food into the cell while letting out waste. In a plant, it lies just inside of the cell wall.

Cells reproduce by making copies of themselves and then splitting into 2 cells. This is where all cells come from.

How do all living things get ENERGY? (chemical energy)

All cells are all made of similar materials, such as this ELEMENT. Organic molecules (protein, fat/lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates) mostly contain this.

_______, tissues, organ, organ system, organism. It is the simplest most basic unit of living things. All living things are made of these.

Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, ______. (A living thing.)

English scientist who first called them "cells" (while looking at dead cork plant under the microscope) in 1665.

Jellylike watery gel that fills the cell. Organelles float in this fluid/liquid.

The pressure of full vacuoles pushing outward, so plants stand up. Empty vacuoles cause wilting/drooping due to not enough of this kind of pressure.

Cell parts that perform a function such as lysosomes, vacuoles, mitochondria, and nuclei.

Chloroplasts, call wall and a large central vacuole

Part, how something is built, what it is made of

Job, what something does.

Found inside the nucleus and produces rRNA

System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm

An endomembrane system where lipids are synthesized, calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down.

Makes proteins

A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell

Located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division

Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion

whiplike tails found in one-celled organisms to aid in movement

A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy

network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement

1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
