Cells
By:Clay Wagner
Nucleous
Contains DNA—is the control center of the cell.
vacuole
vacuole-
Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
cytoplasm
Cytoplasm-
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
mitochondria
mitochondria-
A provider of energy for a cell. It breaks down glucose for energy.
lysosome
lysosome-
A small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
cell wall
cell wall-
A rigid barrier for plant cells that protect and maintain the shape of a plant.
cell
cell-
Basic unit of life
oral groove
oral groove-
The mouth of the paramecium organism where food is taken in
paramecium
paramecium-
Animal-like protist that moves by way of cilia
euglena
euglena-
A protist that has a single flagellum to move itself and obtains its nutrients by the process of photosynthesis.
eyespot
eyespot-
An organelle of the protist euglena that is sensitive to light.
amoeba
amoeba-
Animal-like protist that moves by way of pseudopod
Cell membrane
Is found in both kinds of cells.
chloroplast
Sunlight, main energy source,photosynthesis.
cell membrane
cell membrane-
A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Rough ER
Rough ER-
Found in both a animal and plant cell. Makes the protein a cell need and acts like the mitochondria.
Cell Theory
Cell theory-
All living things are made of cells.
Cells carry out functions needed to support life.
Cells form from only other living cells.
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic-
Prokaryotic means that the cell does not have a nucleus. Eukaryotic means that the cell does have a nucleus.
Cell Form/organization
The basic unit of all living things except viruses. In advanced organisms, cells consist of a nucleus (which contains genetic material), cytoplasm, and organelles, all of which are surrounded by a cell membrane. Note: Groups of cells with similar structure and function form tissues.
