Sundanese | English |
|---|---|
| Nucleus |  control center; directs all cell activities |
| Cell Membrane | boundary of cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell |
| Cell Wall | boundary of plant cell; provides structure |
| Cytoplasm | fills up remaining space; jelly-like; where some cell processes take place |
| Mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell; provides energy |
| Ribosomes | protein factories |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | transportations system |
| Golgi Bodies | receiving and packaging |
| Chloroplast | captures sun to produce sugars (food) for the cell |
| Lysosomes | digests wastes; destroys unwanted or unneeded organelles or substances |
| Prokaryotic Cell | a cell that does not contain a membrane bound organelles like bacteria |
| Eukaryotic Cell | a cell that contains membrane bound organelles |
| Nucleolus | contains RNA and makes ribosomes |
| Vacuole | storage area; stores water, wastes, and other materials; larger in plant cells |
| Chromosomes | genetic material (DNA) |
| cell | The basic unit of life |
| Robert Hooke | Created a microscope and "discovered" cells |
| Schleiden and Schwann | German scientists who found plant and animal cells had similarities |
| Rudolf Virchow | proposed that cells come from preexisting cells |
| water | makes up 70% of all cells. Surrounds cells and helps to insulate them. |
| Nucleic Acid | macromolecule that contain genetic information (DNA and RNA) |
| DNA | Genetic material that controls cell growth, cell reproduction and cell processes |
| RNA | Gentic material that controls the production of proteins |
| Protein | chains of amino acids |
| Function of protein | communication, cell transport, chemical breakdown of substances, and structural support |
| Lipid | does not dissolve in water. stores energy, protective membranes, and cell communication |
| carbohydrates | chains of sugar; provides stored energy, structural support in plants, and communication between cells |
| Cell theory | all organisms are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, cells come from preexisting cells |
