Term
Cell Membrane[image]
Definition
found in both cells; the lining that controls what goes in and out of each cell; it surrounds and protects each cell (acts like a fence)
Term
Cytoplasm[image]
Definition
found in both cells; the jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the cell; all other parts float around in it.
Term
Cell Wall[image]
Definition
only in plants; the thick, rigid outer covering of a plant cell that gives the plant structure and support
Term
Vacuoles[image]
Definition
found in both cells; this part stores water and wastes
Term
Mitochondria[image]
Definition
Supplies, stores, and produces energy for the cell
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum[image]
Definition
Produces proteins and lipid components for the cell
Term
Chloroplasts[image]
Definition
only in plant cells; they are small and round, and use sunlight to produce plant sugars (*think chlorophyll)
Term
Animal Cell[image]
Definition
have an irregular shape with the same basic parts of the plant cell like the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm and vacuoles with the exception of a cell wall and chloroplasts
Term
Nucleus[image]
Definition
found in both cells; the cell’s “command center”, or brain
Term
Cells[image]
Definition
all living things are made of these. They are too small to be seen or examined except through a microscope.
Term
Plant cell[image]
Definition
have a rectangular shape. Its parts include chloroplasts that use sun light to make its food and a cell wall to give it structure
Term
Microscope[image]
Definition
the tool used to magnify objects that you cannot see with your eyes
Term
Genes and Chromosomes[image]
Definition
found in cells, these contain information about the characteristics of an organism; its traits
