osmosisdiffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
ciliatiny, hairlike parts around certain organisms; used for movement
chlorophyllgreen pigment in plant cells
systema group of organs working together to perform a function
cell theoryaccepted ideas about the importance of cells in living things
epitheliala type of tissue found in skin and body linings
cellthe basic unit of a living thing
ATPa nucleotide that temporarily stores energy
respirationthe breakdown of sugar using oxygen
plasmolysiscontraction of a cell's cytoplasm because of water loss
active transportmovement of molecules by using energy
organa group of tissues working together to perform a function
protoplasmall the living material of a cell
diffusiona way particles move from a place of greater concentration to a place of lesser concentration
pseudopodfingerlike shape formed along the outside of certain single-celled organisms
mitochondriaenergy-producing cell structure
nuclear membrane (envelope)structure that encloses the nucleus
ribosomestructure in cell that is able to turn amino acids into proteins
flagellalong thread attached to the bodies of some organisms; used for movement
cell wallan outside covering that all plant cells have and that is not found in animal cells
cytoplasmjellylike material found between the cell membrane and nucleus
structurepart of an object that contributes to its organization
permeabletype of cell membrane that allows all molecules to pass through
tissuea group of cells of the same type, working together
endoplasmic reticulumstrands in the cytoplasm that are involved in transporting cell materials
vacuoleround, clear storage structure in cell
semi-permeabletype of cell membrane that lets only some molecules pass through
cell membranea thin covering that all pant and animal cells have (semi-permeable)
functionwhat a thing does
chloroplastplant structure involved in food making
passive transportuses no energy and substances pass back and forth through many pores in the membrane
Leewnhoekfather of the modern microscope; called microorganisms "animalcules"
Virchowobserved cells and concluded that all cells come from other cells
Hookeused a microscope to look at pieces of cork
Schwannbelieved cells were the basic usnits of all animals
Schliedenbelieved cells were the basic units of all plants
Pasteurexperimented with broth in flasks to show that all life comes from life
