card image

Cell membrane

Protective outer covering of all cells that regulates the interaction between the cell and environment.

2

Cell

card image

Smallest unit of an organism that can carry on life functions.

3

Cell theory

card image

States the all organisms are made of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life,and all cells come from other cells.

4

Cell wall

card image

Rigid structure that encloses, supports, and protects the cells of plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria.

5

Chloroplast

card image

Green, chlorophyll-containing, plant-cell organelle that uses light energy to produce sugar from carbon dioxid and water.

6

Cytoplasm

card image

Constantly moving gel-like mixture inside the cell membrane the constantly heredity material and is the location of most of a cell's life processes.

7

Endoplasmic reticulum

card image

Cytoplasmic organelle that moves materials around I
in a cell and is made up of a complex series of folded membranes;can be rough (with attached ribosome) or smooth (without attached ribosomes).

8

Golgi body

card image

Organelles that package cellular materials and transport them within the cell or out of the cell.

9

Host cell

card image

Living cell in which a virus can actively multiply or in which a virus can hide until activated by environmental stimuli.

10

Mitochondrion

card image

Cell organelle that breaks down food and releases energy.

11

Nucleus

card image

Organelles that controls all the activities of a cell and contains hereditary materials made of proteins and DNA.

12

Organ

card image

Structure, such as the heart, made up of different types of tissues that all work together.

13

Organelle

card image

Structure in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell that can act as a storage site, process energy, move materials, or manufacture substances.

14

Ribosome

card image

Small cytoplasmic structure on which cells make their own proteins.

15

Tissue

card image

A group of similar cells that work together to do one job.

16

Virus

card image

A stand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating.
