AB
cytoplasmjelly-like substance that fills cells and contains organelles
organellestructures that perform a specific function in a cell
prokaryotic cella cell with no true nucleus
eukaryotic cella cell with a nucleus
cytoskeletonsupports and shapes the cell using microtubules
nucleuscontrol center of the cell; contains DNA
endoplasmic reticulumorganelle that aids in the production of proteins and lipids
ribosomelinks amino acids together to form proteins
golgi apparatussorts, packages, and delivers protiens in the cell
vesicletransports materials throughout the cell
mitochondrion"powerhouse" of the cell; produces energy for the cell
vacuolestores materials in the cell for later use
lysosomebreaks down and recycles worn down and damaged cell parts

hypertonicsolution where water concentration is higher inside the cell
hypotonicsolution where water concentration is higher outside the cell
facilitated diffusionform of passive transport where molecules enter the cell though a transport protein
active transportuses cell energy to move molecules against the concetration gradient into the cell
