Unit 4 - Cells

Eukaryotic cell. All organelles are

contained in membranes.
Animal Cell
basic unit of all forms of life

Cell
thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all
cells; regulates what enters and leaves
the cell
Cell Membrane
1. all living things are composed of cells
2. cells are the basic units of structure
and function in living thing
3. new cells are produced from existing
Cell Theory cells
strong, supporting layer around the cell
membrane in plant cells.
Cell Wall
organelle found in cells of plants that
captures the energy from sunlight and
converts in into chemical energy
Chloroplast
threadlike structure of DNA and protein
that contains genetic information
Chromosomes
In eukaryotic cells, all cellular contents
outside the nucleus. In prokaryotic
Cytoplasm cells, all of the cells contents.
The carriers of genetic information

DNA
internal membrane system found in
eukaryotic cells; place where lipid
components of the cell membrane are
Endoplasmic Reticulum assembled
 organism whose cells contain a
nucleus.
Eukaryotic ex. plant or animal call
organelle in cells that modifies, sorts,
and packages proteins and other
materials from the endoplasmic
Golgi apparatus reticulum for storage in the cell or
release outside the cell.
cell organelle that breaks down lipids,
carbohydrates, and proteins into small
Lysosome molecules that can be used by the rest
of the cell.
cell organelle that converts the
chemical energy stored in food into
compounds that are most convenient
Mitochondria for the cell to use
structure that contain the cells genetic
material in the form of DNA
Nucleus
Eukaryotic cell. All organelles are
contained in membranes. Has a cell
wall and contains chloroplasts.
Plant Cell
unicellular organism that lacks a
nucleus.
ex. bacteria
Prokaryotic
cell organelle consisting of RNA and
protein found throughout the
cytoplasm in a cell; te site of protein
Ribosome synthesis
cell organelle that stores materials such
as water, salts, proteins, and
carbohydrates
Vacuole
