cells Flashcards
in biology the smallest unit that can perform all life processes cell s are covered by a membrane and have dna and cytoplasm.
cell
in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell’s DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
nucleus
other organelles are attached to membranes or other organelles.
cytoplasm
a phospholipid layer that cover a cell’s surface acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell’s environment.
cell membrane
a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell
cell wall
the organelle that breaks down food molecules to make ATP
mitochondria
the organelle that uses the energy of sunlight to make food
chloroplast
the organelle that processes and transports proteins and other materials out of cell
Golgi complex
the organelle that makes lipids break down drug other substance and packages proteins for Golgi complex
Endoplasmic reculum
the organelle in which amino acids and hooked togther to make protenins
ribosome
the organelle that diests food paticles, wastes, cell partes, and foregin invaders
lysosome
the organelle that stores water and other materials
Vauole
one of the small bodies in a cell’s cytoplasm that are specialized to perform a specific function
organelle
\an organism that consists of a singel cell that does not have a nuclesus
prokaryote
an organism made up of cells that have a nuucleus enclosed by a membrane; ekaryotes includes include animals, plants, and fungi, but not archaebacteria or eubateiria
eukaryotes
a group of similar cells that perform a common function
tissue
a collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of a body
organ
a group of organs that work toghther to perform body function
organ system
a living thing; anything that can carry out life processes independently
organism
