Cells- Biology

Living things grow in size, reproduce, and are able to repair themselves.

Living things require energy.

Living things respond to changes in their environment.

Living things have a life span.

Living things produce waste, unusable or unwanted materials that they release into their enviornment.

All living things are made up of at least one cell.

All living things are composed of at least one cell.

The cell is the basic unit of life, structure and organization.

All cells come from existing cells.

Plants have less, larger vacuoles, while animals have more smaller vacuoles. Plants are rectangulaur while animals are circulaur. There is green chlorophyll in plants.

A thin covering that holds the organelles inside the cell. Found in both plant and animal. Gatekeeper. Regulates what comes in and out of the cell. ( e.g, food and oxygen move in, waste and toxins move/ stay out)

Two layers of fat. There are many proteins that are embedded that act as channels, opening and closing pathways where materials can move in and out of the cell.

A jelly like substance that supports the organelles within a cell. Materials such as food and oxygen can be transported through the cytoplasm. Found in both plant and animal cells.

The brain of the cell. Controls what happens in a cell and is protected by a nuclear membrane. Contains chromosomes. Found in both plant and animal cells.

Found in nucleus. Contains vital info and genetic/ reproducing info that the cell uses when it splits.

A sac like organelle that stores excess waste, food, and other substances. Found in both plant and animal.

kidney bean shape that breaks down food particles and releases stored energy. Found in both plant and animal.

A folded organelle that makes proteins. Found in both plant and animal

An organelle that assists the endoplasmic reticulum in making proteins. found in both plant and animal

A folded organelle that combines proteinns made by the endoplasmic reticulum and delivers it the rest of the cell and outside of it. Found in both plant and animal.

Surrounds the cell membrane and provides extra strength and protection against weather and drought. Materials pass in and out of the cell through small pores in the wall. Found in plant cells.

Chloroplasts use energy from sunlight to make food for the plants through photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll- a green chemical that captures sunlight for the chloroplast and is the reason why plants are green. Found in plant cells.
