| The Cell | Basic unit of life; new cells are produced by living cells |
| Cell theory | all living things are composed of cells; cells are basic unit of structure and function in things |
| Large membrane | Enclosed structure of the entire cell |
| Nucleus | contains cell's DNA that contains instructions for making proteins; where the assembly of ribosomes begin |
| Eukaryote | cells that have nuclei |
| Prokaryote | cells that don't have nuclei |
| Organelles | little organs, anything that isn't nucleus or membrane |
| Cytoplasm | portion of the cell outside of the nucleus |
| Nuclear envelope | nucleus protection; membrane has pores called "nuclear holes" |
| Chromatin | has genetic information that is passed from generation to generation |
| Chromosomes | condensed chromatin |
| Ribosomes | Where proteins are assembled |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Where lipids and proteins are made |
| Golgi apparatus | modify, package, and sort proteins |
| Lisosomes | Break down extra stuff |
| Vacuoles | storage units in cell |
| Mitochondria | convert food into energy |
| Chloroplasts | organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called "photosynthesis" |
| Cytoskeleton | network of protein filaments that help the cell to maintain its shape and move |
| Tubulin | protein that makes molecules that make cytoskeleton |
| Centrioles | formed by tubulin; organize cell division |
