| Sun | The main source of energy for all life because of the role it plays in photosynthesis. |
| Organisms | All living things can be called this word. Bacteria, algae, trees, clams, mushrooms, and humans are examples. |
| Cells | The basic Unit of Life. Thgey are the smallest units that carry on the features of life, and all organisms are made of one or more. |
| Virus | A non-living particle consisting of a core of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coat. A "microscopic zombie". |
| Host Cell | A virus must be inside of this in order to reproduce. |
| Vaccine | A way to prevent viral diseases, it is made from damaged virus particles. |
| Cell Membrane | A structure that forms the outer boundary of the cell. It is selectively permeable and the outermost layer of animal cells. |
| Nucleus | A structure that directs all the activities of the cell. The cell's brain. |
| Organelles | Structures/Organs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. |
| Eukaryotic | Cells that have a nucleus. The fungus, animal, protist, and plant kingdoms. |
| Prokaryotic | Cells that DO NOT have a nucleus. Only the eubacteria and archaebacteria kingdoms. |
| Golgi Bodies | The Bouncers of the cell. They package and secrete proteins to move things in/out of cell membrane. |
| ER-Endoplasmic Reticulum | The highway of the cell it transport materials within the cytoplasm. |
| Cytoplasm | The jello-like material inside cells. |
| Mitochondria | The organelle where respiration occurs in all cells. |
| Lysosomes | The waste and digestive center of the cell. The cell's toilet. |
| Cell Wall | A rigid structure outside the cell membrane that supports and protects plant cells. |
| Chloroplasts | The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs. |
| Chlorophyll | The green chemical in chloroplasts that catches sunlight. |
| Tissues | Groups of similar cells that do the same sort of work. |
| Organs | Different types of tissues that work together to do a particular job. |
| Cell Theory | The summary of observations and conclusions regarding cells. |
| Carbohydrates | Organic compounds that are sugars and starches. |
| Lipids | Organic compounds that are fats and oils. |
| Enzymes | Proteins that regulate nearly all chemical reactions in cells. |
| Organic Compounds | These molecules always contain carbon and hydrogen and usually are associated with living things. They build cells. |
| Inorganic Compounds | These molecules are made from elements other than carbon and do not create cells. |
| Metabolism | The total of all chemical activities in cells. It is also the speed at which your cells do respiration. |
| Photosynthesis | The process whereby producers turn light energy into chemical energy and create glucose and oxygen. |
| Respiration | The process in cells where energy stored in food is released. It also creates CO2 and water. |
| Fermentation | This is how cells create energy without a proper supply of oxygen. Alcohol and lactic acid are produced as by-products. |
| Active Transport | When energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane. |
| Passive Transport | The movement of molecules through the cell membrane without the need for energy. |
| Diffusion | The net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of weak concentration. |
| Osmosis | The diffusion of water. |
