Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 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 |
