1138021549	Cell Membrane	Controls what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal	0
1138021550	Cell Wall	Ridged outer layer of plant cell	1
1138021551	Cytoplasm	Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found	2
1138021552	Mitochondria	Produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions	3
1138021553	Lysosomes	Uses chemical to break down food and worn out cell parts	4
1138021554	Vacuoles	Stores food, water, wastes and other materials in plant cells	5
1138021555	Golgi Bodies	Receives proteins & materials from the ER, packages them, & distributes them	6
1138021556	Chloroplasts	Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in plant cells	7
1138021557	Endoplasmic Reticulum	Has passageways that assembles proteins, lipid components and other materials form one part of the cell to another	8
1138021558	Ribosomes	Assembles amino acids to create proteins	9
1138021559	Nucleus	Contain DNA, which controls the functions of the cell and production of proteins	10
1138021560	Nucleolus	Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes	11
1138021561	Chromatin	Tiny strands inside the nucleus that contains the instructions for directing the cells functions	12
43650344	Cell	Basic unit of life. All cell contain a cell membrane and DNA	13
638882878	Cell Theory	1.All living things are composed of cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3. New cells are produced from existing cells	14
1015552503	Eukaryote	Cells that contain nuclei Complex Example: animal cells, plant cells	15
699963013	Prokaryotes	Cells that do not contain nuclei Simple Example: bacteria	16
184160520	Nuclear envelope	Layer of two membranes that surrounds the nucleus of a cell	17
437686027	Organelle	Specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell	18
873873519	Chromosomes	Contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next.	19
891107081	Cytoskeleton	Gives eukaryotic cells there shape and involved in movement. A network of protein filaments made up of microfilaments and microtubules.	20
465177926	Centrioles	In animal cells located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division.	21
247203814	Rough ER	Ribosomes are on the surface and involved in protein synthesis	22
643117136	Smooth ER	Contain enzymes for synthesis lipids and detoxication of drugs	23
