front 1 Cell | back 1 Smallest functional and structural unit of all living organisms |
front 2 Organism | back 2 Any living thing |
front 3 Nucleus | back 3 Membrane bound organelle that contains DNA |
front 4 Organelle | back 4 A small body in a cell's cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function. |
front 5 Cytoplasm | back 5 The region enclosed by the cell membrane that includes the fluid and all of the organelles |
front 6 Cell Membrane | back 6 A protective layer that covers a cell’s surface, acts as a barrier, and controls what comes in and out |
front 7 Prokaryote | back 7 A single celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles. DNA is located in the cytoplasm. |
front 8 Eukaryote | back 8 An organism made up of cells that contain their DNA in a nucleus |
front 9 Lipid | back 9 A fat molecule that helps store energy |
front 10 Protein | back 10 A molecule made up of smaller molecules called amino acids that help build and repair body structures. |
front 11 Carbohydrates | back 11 Molecules that include sugars, starches, and fiber which are a good source of energy. |
front 12 Nucleic Acid | back 12 A molecule that carries information in cells. |
front 13 Phospholipid | back 13 A lipid that contains phosphorus and helps form the cell membrane. |
front 14 Cytoskeleton | back 14 A network of protein filaments that gives shape support to cells |
front 15 Mitochondra | back 15 Where cellular respiration occurs in an organelle to create energy |
front 16 Ribosome | back 16 Organelle that makes proteins by putting together chains of amino acids using DNA instructions. |
front 17 Endoplasmic Reticulum | back 17 Assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and the production of lipids. |
front 18 Golgi Complex | back 18 Membrane bound organelle that packages and distributes materials |
front 19 Cell Wall | back 19 Rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane to provide support and protection to a cell. |
front 20 Vacuole | back 20 A fluid-filled vesicle found in cells of most animals, plants, and fungi |
front 21 Chloroplasts | back 21 Organelle where photosynthesis takes place. |
front 22 Lysosome | back 22 Organelle that contains digestive enzymes, which break down worn-out or damaged, waste materials, and foreign invaders in the cell. |
