38
New cards

Eukaryote

A type of cell that has a nucleus, has membrane-bound organelles, is larger in size, is more complex. Ex: plants, animals, fungi, protists

39
New cards

Cell (plasma) membrane

The selectively permeable barrier that regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell; composed of a phospholipid bilayer

40
New cards

Cell wall

A rigid outer layer of a plant cell, prokaryote, fungus, or protist that provides structural support and protection; located outside the plasma membrane.

41
New cards

Cell

The basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms; the smallest unit of life.

42
New cards

Chloroplast

An organelle found in plant cells and photosynthetic protists that is the site of photosynthesis.

43
New cards

Chromosome

A structure composed of a single, long DNA molecule coiled around associated proteins (histones); carries the genetic information (genes).

44
New cards

all the cellular contents outside the nucleus, and the semi-fluid, aqueous component in it

46
New cards

An adjustable mechanism (usually an iris) on a microscope that controls the amount and angle of light reaching the specimen.

47
New cards
