| 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 |
