1.
bacteria: smallest organisms on earth, one-celled organisms
2.
bone cells (animal cell): surrounded by calcum and phosphorus
3.
cell membrane: a flexible structure that holds the cell together helps control what goes in and comes out of the cell
4.
cell wall: in plant cell only; it is the structure outside of the cell membrane that helps support and protect the plant cell
5.
Cells: 1. all living things are made of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of life 3. Cells are made by other living cells
6.
chloroplasts: green organelles that take in light energy to make food for the plant during photosynthesis
7.
chromosomes: found in the nucleus; contain DNA that determines the traits an organism will have
8.
cytoplasm: gelatin-like substance that contains many chemicals that the cell needs (2/3 is water)
9.
DNA: determines traits
10.
fat cells (animal cell): store large amounts of fat for energy
11.
leaf cells (plant cell): contain amny chloroplasts
12.
mitochondria: converts food energy into energy the cell can use where cellular respiration takes place
13.
muscle cells (animal cell): long cells with fibers that can contract and relax
14.
nerve cells (animal cell): long cells with many branches in order ro receive and deliver messages quickly
15.
nucleus: controlsl most of cell's activities - contains hereditary material like the chromosomes, DNA
16.
organ: different types of tissues working together from organs; Ex: stomach, heart, kidneys
17.
organ system: groups of organs that work together to do a certain job; Ex: digestive system, respiratory system, nervous system
18.
organelle: specialized cell parts that move around in cytoplasm and perform activities that are necessary for life - each has a different job
19.
organism: living thing
20.
photosynthesis: process that makes food for the plant
21.
root cells (plant cell): do not contain chloroplasts
22.
skin cells (animal cell): protect the inside of the body
23.
stem cells (plant cell): long cells and tube-shaped to mave water and other materials through the plant
24.
Tissue: groups of similar cells that alldo the same sort of work
25.
vacuole: stores food waste and water
