| A | B |
| cell theory | living things are made up of one or more cells, cell is functional unit of life, & cells arise from exisiting cells |
| cell membrane | selectively permeable membrane helps control balance |
| nucleus | controls most functions carried out by the cell |
| cytoplasm | the interior of the cell |
| organelle | a structure that performs a specific function for the cell |
| vacuole | a membrane bound storage unit |
| cell wall | a thick outer covering that surrounds the cell membrane providing structure and support |
| chloroplast | organelles that use light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water |
| diffusion | movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| osmosis | diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane |
| photosynthesis | process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy |
| cellular respiration | process by which living organisms harvest energy from food |
| mitochondria | organelle that harvests energy form organic compounds-make ATP |
| nuclear membrane | membrane that surrounds nucleus of cell separating it from the cytoplasm |
| DNA | genetic material of cell |
| chromosome | thread-like structure found in the nucleus |
| gene | segment of a chromosome |
| cytoskeleton | network of filaments that is used for movement, shape, and cell division |
| ribosomes | cellular structures where proteins are made |
| endoplasmic reticulum | internal membranes that move proteins and other substances through cells |
| chloroplasts | oganelles that use light energy to make carbohydrates |
| lysosome | small, round, organelles, that contain the cells digestive enzymes |
