The basic units of life.
Cells that contain a nucleus.
Small particles of RNA found
in the cytoplasm that
produce proteins.
A structure in the cell used
for storage of materials such
as water, salts, and carbs.
Cell Unit Flipcards
A membrane-enclosed
structure that contains a
cell’s gentic material.
Specialized structures
within a cell.
Cells that do not contain a
nucleus.
The liquid portion of the cell
outside the nucleus.
Organelles that convert the
chemical energy stored in
food into compounds for cell
use (cellular respiration).
Organelles that capture the
sun’s energy and convert it
into chemical energy
(photosynthesis).
A thin flexible layer that
surrounds all cells and
regulates what enters and
leaves the cytoplasm.
A strong supporting layer
found around the membrane
of some cells.
A double-layered sheet of
lipids that give the cell
membrane its flexibility.
The tendency of particles to
move from a high
concentration to a lower
concentration.
The movement of materials
through a membrane with the
use of chemical energy.
The movement of materials
through a membrane without
the use chemical energy.
A protein within a cell
membrane which helps
certain substances to cross
the membrane.
Groups of tissues working
together to carry-out
essential tasks.
A membrane which will only
allow certain molecules to
pass through it but not
others.
A group of organs that work
together to perform a
specific function.
The diffusion of water
through a membrane.
The diffusion of large
molecules through
membranes with the use of
protein channels.
A group of similar cells that
perform a particular
function.
Part of eukaryotic cell
division during which the cell
nucleus divides.
