A cell that does not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles

A

Prokaryotic Cell

25
This surrounds and encloses the nucleus.
Nuclear Membrane
26
In plants , these organelles are storage areas for starch
Leukoplast
27
A very large area of a plant cell. It is full of water creating turgor pressure.
Central Vacuole
28
Place where ribosomal subunits are manufactured.
Nucleolus
29
Found on the outside of a plant cell for structure and support.
Cell Wall
30
The "powerhouses" of the cell
Mitochondria
31
The small specialized structures found within a cell.
Organelles
32
Term meaning that an organism is not capable of making its own food
Heterotroph
33
Breaking down food into small particles that can be used by cells.
Mechanical Digestion
34
This scientist was the first to see and describe microorganisms viewed under a microscope
Leeuwenhoek
35
The portion of the cell found outside of the nucleus
Cytoplasm
36
Term meaning that an organism can make its own food.
Autotroph
37
An organism that consists of only one cell
Unicellular
38
This organelle contains digestive enzymes used to break down materials inside the cell
Lysosomes
39
Organelles that carry out cellular respiration
Mitochondria
40
This structure regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Cell Membrane
41
A cell that does have a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic Cell
42
A group of cells that work together and perform the same function
Tissue
43
Using energy obtained from foods for growth and repair
Biosynthesis
44
This membrane system is so extensive that it accounts for more than half of the total membranes of a cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
45
This part receives proteins from the ribosomes and modifies them into functioning proteins.
Golgi Apparatus
46
The internal framework and support system that gives shape and organization to a cell
Cytoskeleton
47
The removal of solid wastes
Egestion
48
These may be found free floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER
Ribosomes
49
This theory was proposed by Schleiden , Schwann and Virchow
The Cell Theory
50
What is the cell theory?
1) All organisms are made of cells. 2) All existing cells are produced by other living cells. 3) The cell is the most basic unit of life.
51
A group of unicellular organisms that live together but have no relationship to one another
Colonial Organisms
