recycles worn out cell parts
Bacteria-- Single celled organisms that sometimes cause disease
Ribosomes--Structures in cytoplasm where proteins are made
Unicellular-- An organism that is made up of a single cell
Mitochondria-- Release stored energy from sugars
Organelle-- Structure in a cell that is enclosed by a membrane and performs a specific function
Nucleolus-- Structure located inside the nucleus, whose function is to produce proteins
Specialization-- Specific cells have specific functions
Organism— An individual form of life that uses energy to carry out the activities of life
Prokaryotes-- Cells that lack a nucleus and other organelles
Nucleus-- Organelle that controls the cell
Cell wall-- Supports and protects the plant cell
Microscope-- An instrument that uses lenses to make an object appear bigger than it really is
Chloroplasts--Green, often oval, structure in plant cells used in food production
Vacuole-- Stores food and waste products
Cytoplasm-- Jelly-like substance surrounding the nucleus
Cell membrane-- Determines what enters and leaves the cell
Eukaryotic-- Cells in which the genetic material is enclosed within a nucleus
Multicellular-- An organism that is made of up more than one cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum-- Network of folded membranes that is the cell’s transportation system
