Cells Flashcards
of an organism or part) having or consisting of many cells.
Multicellular
n optical instrument used for viewing very small objects, such as mineral samples or animal or plant cells, typically mag
Microscope
A large group of one cell organisms that can couse disease
Bacteria
the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
Cell membrane
jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, and, in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus. The organelles of eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria
Cytoplasm
central and most important part of an cell,forming the basis for its activity and growth
Nucleus
An organism whose cells contain a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins
Eukaryotic cell
any of the typically unicellular microorganisms that lack a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and that are classified as a kingdom
Prokaryotic cell
any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.
Organelle
a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.
Cell wall
a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
Mitochondria
The specific organization of a cell and its structure that allows it to preform a specific function
Specialization
A group of similar cells that are organized to do a specific job
Tissue
A structure in a plant or a animal that is made up of different tissues working together to preform a particular job
Organ
