| What is a cell? | A COLLECTION OF LIVING MATER ENCLOSED BY A BARRIER THAT SPERATES THE CELL FROM ITS SURROUNDINGS; BASIC UNIT OF ALL LIFE FORMS |
| What is CELL THEORY? | THE IDEA THAT 1. ALL LIVING THINGS ARE COMPOSED OF CELLS 2. CELLS ARE THE BASIC UNIT OF STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN LIVING THINGS, |
| What is the nucleus? | The center of the atom which contains the protons and neutrons; structure that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell activities |
| What is an EUKARYOTE | Organisms whose cells contain nuclei |
| What is a PROKARYOTE | Unicellular organism lacking a nucleuos |
| What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic? | Prokaryotic cells have genetic material that is not contained in a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is separated from the rest of the cell. |
| What is an organelle? | a specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell |
| What is cytoplasm | material inside the cell membrane - not including the nucleus |
| What is the nuclear envelope (membrane)? | layer of two membranes that surround the nucleus of a cell |
| What is chromatin? | granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins. |
| What is chromosome? | threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next |
| What is the nucleolus? | small, dense region within the nuclei in which the assembly of proteins begin |
| What is ribosome? | small particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and proteins |
| What is endoplasmic reticulum? | internal membrane system in cells in which lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified |
| What is Golgi apparatus? | stack of membrane in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasm reticulum |
| What is lysosome? | cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell |
| What is a vacuole? | cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| What is mitochondrion? | cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use |
| What is chloroplast? | organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy |
| What is cytoskeleton? | network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement |
| What is centriole? | one of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope |
| What is the cell membrane? | thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell |
| What is the cell wall? | strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants. algae and some bacteria |
| What is the lipid bilayer? | double-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes |
