| 1688374 | Cell | A membrane bound structure that is the basic unit of life | |
| 1688375 | Cell Membrane | The lipid bilayer that forms the outer boundary of the cell | |
| 1688376 | Cell Theory | This says that all living things are made of cells, that cells are the basic unit of structure and function and that cells only come from other cells. | |
| 1688377 | Cell wall | A rigid structure that surrounds the cells of plants and most bacteria | |
| 1688378 | Chloroplast | A plastid containing chlorophyll, the site of photosynthesis | |
| 1688379 | Cytoplasm | The region of the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus | |
| 1688380 | Cytoskeleton | A network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps support the cell | |
| 1688381 | Eukaryote | A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles | |
| 1688382 | Golgi apparatus | A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell | |
| 1688383 | Lysosomes | An organelle containing digestive enzymes, | |
| 1688384 | Mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell, produces energy (ATP) from oxygen and sugar(Cellular respiration) | |
| 1688385 | Nuclear envelope | A double membrane that surrounds the nucleus in the cell | |
| 1688386 | Nucleolus | The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus | |
| 1688387 | Nucleus | The organelle that contains the DNA and controls the processes of the cell | |
| 1688388 | Organelle | One of several bodies with a specialized function that is suspended in the cytosol of the cell | |
| 1688389 | organ | several types of body tissues that together form a function | |
| 1688390 | organ system | A group of organs that interact to perform a set of related tasks | |
| 1688391 | prokaryote | A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles | |
| 1688392 | Ribosome | An organelle that functions in the synthesis of proteins | |
| 1688393 | tissue | a group of similar cells that carry out a similar function | |
| 1688394 | Vacuole | stores water and nutrients for the cell; very large in plant cells | |
| 1688395 | vesicle | A membrane bound sac that contains materials involved in transport of the cell. | |
| 322862802 | Endoplasmic Reticulum | an internal membrane system in which components of cell membrane and some proteins are constructed | |
| 322862803 | Rough ER | That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes. | |
| 322862804 | Smooth ER | That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes. | |
| 322862805 | flagella | whiplike tails found in one-celled organisms to aid in movement | |
| 322862806 | pili | allow prokaryotes to attach to surfaces and to each other and allows them to transfer DNA. |
