Cells Flashcards
Mitochondria
releases energy stored in food which is then used to carry out life processes of the cell
Ribosomes
assemble proteins which the cell uses for growth, repair, and control
Endoplasmic Reticulum
transports materials through the cell
Golgi bodies
Materials that are transported by ER stop here to be altered or stored before moving to other parts of cell
Lysosomes
break down large food molecules into smaller molecules. Break down waste and old cell parts. found in few plants
Vacuoles
store water and food materials. Store and help get rid of waste
Chloroplasts
Only animals have. Have chlorophyll which traps energy from sun to make glucose and gives plant green color
Tissues
each group of specialized cells is sorted into these
organs
tissues are organized into them
organ system
a group of organs that works together
organism
all of an animal’s organs
level of cell organization
tissue-organ-organ system-organism
cell theory
