10940478038 | Nucleus | Controls the cells activities and contains the DNA. | 0 | |
10940478039 | Vacuole | Large balloon-like structures that hold water, food and waste that the cell doesn't need right away. | 1 | |
10940478040 | Chloroplast | An organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs. It has folded structures that absorb sunlight. | 2 | |
10940478041 | Cell Wall | Only present in plant cells. It is much less flexible than the cell membrane and it gives the cell shape. | 3 | |
10940478042 | Cell Membrane | Like the skin of the cell. It gets to decide what enters and exits the cell. | 4 | |
10940478043 | Cytoplasm | Jelly-like substance that fills most of the inside of the cell. It is always moving and takes oxygen and food to other parts of the cell. | 5 | |
10940478044 | Plant Cell | The basic unit of life of plants. Contains a cell wall and chloroplasts. | 6 | |
10940478045 | Animal Cell | The basic unit of life of animals and humans. Doesn't have a cell wall or chloroplasts and has smaller vacuoles. | 7 | |
10940478046 | Procaryotes | Organisms whose cells that do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. | 8 | |
10940478047 | Eucaryotes | Organisms whose cells have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. | 9 | |
10940478048 | Organelle | Mini-organ inside the cell that helps in performing various functions. | 10 | |
10940478049 | Photosynthesis | Plants use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars | 11 | |
10940478050 | Cell | The smallest unit that performs the functions of life. | 12 | |
10940478051 | DNA | Instructions for the cell. Like a recipe to make more cells. | 13 | |
10940478052 | Microscope | An optical instrument used for magnifying small objects. | 14 | |
10940478053 | Tissue | Made up of many cells that carry out a specific function | 15 | |
10940478054 | Organ | Groups of tissues joined as a unit to serve a common function. | 16 | |
10940478055 | Organ System | A group of organs that work together. | 17 | |
10940478056 | Diffusion | Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. | 18 | |
10940478057 | Osmosis | Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane | 19 | |
10940478058 | Semi Permeable Membrane | Membrane that allows some things to pass through and others to not | 20 | |
10940478059 | Permeable Membrane | Allows all molecules to pass or diffuse through | 21 | |
10940478060 | Impermeable Membrane | A membrane, which does not allow any substance to enter and leave. | 22 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
