| organelle | part of a cell with a specific job to do |
| nucleus | control center for the cell |
| nucleolus | small spot inside the nucleus, controls ribosome production |
| ribosome | create protein |
| chromosome | made of DNA, this controls your traits |
| nuclear membrane | surrounds the nucleus, allowing only certain things to leave and enter |
| cell membrane | surrounds the cell and acts as a gatekeeper, allowing only certain things to leave and enter |
| cell wall | provides plant cells with their structure, very thick, surrounds the cell membrane |
| cytoplasm | the jelly-like stuff found inside the cell |
| rough er | bumpy; acts like an assembly line for proteins, holds ribosomes |
| smooth er | creates and breaks down chemicals for the body to use |
| golgi apparatus | acts as a finishing center for proteins |
| cell theory | 1. all living things are made of cells, 2. cells are the basic unit of structure and function, 3. all cells come from other cells |
| cell | building blocks of life |
| lysosome | recycle and clean up wastes in the cell |
| enzyme | speed up or slow down chemical reactions |
| dna | unit of heredity- controls your traits |
| chloroplast | found in plant cells, these allow photosynthesis to occur |
| vacuole | storage space for food and water in animal cells- very large in plant cells |
| leavittcarlson | your teacher's last name |
| prokaryote | bacterial cells, have no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles |
| eukaryote | plants, animal, fungi, and protist cells; have a nucleus and many membrane-bound organelles |
| mitochondria | powerhouse for the cell- creates energy |
| photosynthesis | process in which plants take in light energy and create sugar for cells to use-- CHLOROPLAST |
| cellular respiration | process in which cells take in sugar and make energy for cells to use-- MITOCHONDRIA |
