Q

mitochondrion

A

power house for animal and plant cells. in cellular respiration it creates atp molecules that provide all the cells activity. cells that need more energy have more mitochondrion

Q

cytoskeleton

A

maintains cell shape. icludes microfilaments made of proteins. and microtubules is which are thin hollow tubes

17
Q

chloroplast

A

where photosynthesis happens.

18
Q

chlorophyll

A

green pigment in chloroplast

19
Q

cell wall

A

shape and support the plant cell

20
Q

flagella

A

a tail that helps some bacteria move

21
Q

what do all cells have?

A

cell membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material

22
Q

immune system

A

many different parts of tissue groups, organ systems and defense cells

23
Q

innate defense system

A

first line of defense. engages with anything suspicious

24
Q

adaptive defense system

A

specially designed defense system that takes longer but is specifically designed to go after special targets
