605482956 | Cell | A membrane bound structure that is the basic unit of life | |
605482957 | Cell Membrane | flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell | |
605482958 | Cell Theory | This says that all living things are made of cells, that cells are the basic unit of structure and function and that cells only come from other cells. | |
605482959 | Cell wall | A rigid structure made of cellulose that surrounds the cells of plants | |
605482960 | Chloroplast | contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis | |
605482961 | Cytoplasm | The region of the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus, fluid, chemical reactions occurr here. | |
605482962 | Eukaryote | A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles | |
605482963 | Lysosomes | An organelle containing digestive enzymes | |
605482964 | Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of energy production through cellular respiration | |
605482965 | Nucleus | The organelle that contains the DNA and controls the processes of the cell | |
605482966 | Organelle | One of several bodies with a specialized function that is suspended in the cytoplasm of the cell (mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, lysosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane, chloroplast, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum, DNA) | |
605482967 | Vacuole | A fluid filled organelle that stores enzymes or water "food storage" | |
605482968 | Animal Cell | does not have a chloroplast or cell wall. Round in shape | |
605482969 | Plant Cell | square shaped and contains cell wall and chloroplast and contains one large vacuole. | |
605482970 | chromosomes | DNA, located inside the nucleus Makes you who you are | |
605482971 | cellular respiration | occurs in the mitochondria to create energy. | |
605482972 | photosynthesis | occurs in the chloroplast of plant cells. Makes food/energy for the plant | |
605482973 | Osmosis | diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. | |
605482974 | Diffusion | the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. | |
605482975 | endoplasmic reticulum | transports nutrients to the nucleus | |
605482976 | golgi body | a structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell |

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!
