Definition |
Animal Cell |
Every organism, or living thing, is made up of structures called cells. The cell is the smallest unit with the basic properties of life. |
Plant Cell |
Every organism, or living thing, is made up of structures called cells. |
Mitochondrian (mitochondria) |
Bacteria constitute a large domain or kingdom of prokaryotic microorganisms |
Ribosome |
is not surrounded by a membrane. Proteins are made on. |
Vesicle |
a membranous and usually fluid-filled pouch (as a cyst, vacuole, or cell) in a plant or animal |
Nucleus |
is the part of a eukaryotic cell that directs cell activities and contains genetic information stored in DNA. |
Chloroplast |
a membrane bound organelles that use light energy and make food – a sugar called glucose |
Golgi Apparatus |
It prepares proteins for their specific jobs or functions. Packages proteins into tiny membranes ball like structures called vesicles. |
Cell Membrane |
is a flexible covering that protects the inside of a cell from the environment outside a cell. |
Cell Wall |
is a stiff structure outside the cell membrane. |
Cytoskeleton Central Vacuole |
is a network of threadlike proteins that are joined together. |
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum |
an extensive intracellular membrane system whose functions include synthesis and transport of lipids and, in regions where ribosomes are attached, of proteins |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
is a type of organelle in the cells of eukaryotic organisms that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tubes known as cisternae. |
Lysosome |
an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. |
Centriole |
a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division. |
DNA |
is organized into structures called chromosomes. |
Flagellum (flagella) |
a slender threadlike structure, esp. a microscopic whiplike appendage that enables many protozoa, bacteria, spermatozoa, etc., to swim. |
Capsule
|
a tough sheath or membrane that encloses something in the body, such as a kidney, a lens, or a synovial joint. |
Prokaryotic Cells |
the genectic material floats frelly in the cytoplasm. Is not surrounded by a membrane. |
Eukaryotic Cells |
has genetic material that is surrounded by a membrane. |
Organelles |
which have specialized functions. Most organelles are surrounded by membranes. |
Unicellular |
(of protozoans, certain algae and spores, etc.) consisting of a single cell. |
Multicellular |
(of an organism or part) having or consisting of many cells. |
Cell theory |
States that all living things are made of one or more cells, the cell is the smallest unit of life, and all new cells come from preexisting cells. |
Nuclear Membrane |
A nuclear membrane, also known as the nuclear envelope, nucleolemma or karyotheca, is the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells |
Nuclear envelope |
contains many pores. certain molecules like ribosomes and rna move into and out of the nucleus through these pores. |
Nucleolus |
is a large dark spot in the nucleus cell. The nucleolus makes ribosomes, organelles that are involved in the production of protein. |
Bacterial Cell |
Bacteria constitute a large domain or kingdom of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a wide range of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. . |
