Cells and Organisms Flashcards
The basic building blocks of life
cell
provides support and structure helping the plant maintain it’s shape only in plant cell
cell wall
Specialized structures to preform functions for the cells survival
organelles
Storage sacs that hold different substances like water
vacuoles
Controls what enters and exits the cell
cell membrane
Captures sunlight and uses it to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar.
chloroplast
A Jelly-like substance that fills the cell and acts as a medium
cytoplasm
Powerhouse of producing energy through cellular respiration
mitochondria
control system directing the activities of the cells
Nucleus
The Process by which plants use sunlight to convert into energy
photosynthesis
separates the the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Nuclear membrane
Make protein to repair damage and direct chemical processes
ribosomes
They assemble and transport proteins to other organelles
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The process and bundle proteins as they are made in the cell
Golgi body
gets rid of waste
lysosomes
The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal despite external conditions
homeostasis
Complex systems that rely on various processes to survive and thrive
organism
A system of organization are ranked above another based on certain criteria
hierarchy
Their role in an organisms survival specific
specialized
Groups of similar cells working together to preform a specific task
Tissue
A series of actions, changes, or functions that occur in a specific order
process
A part of the organism that has a specialized role made of tissues
organ
The specific activities each structure preforms
Function
A drop of organs that work together to preform complex functions
organ structure
The arrangement of organization of parts within an object or system
Structure
Cell order
Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, Organism
