Osmosis
movement of water through a cell membrane (special type of diffusion) and fills the cells with water
Vacuole
storage for water, waste or food in the cell. Animal Cells have multiple small ones and Plant Cells usually have one large one
Eukaryotic Cells
a cell with a nucleus and both animal and plant cells can be this
Chloroplast
contains chlorophyll that helps plants make food; gives plants green color
Nucleus
the control center of the cell that contains chromosomes
Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + Water +Light energy = Sugar + Oxygen and how plants make food
Organelles in Plant Cell ONLY
Cell Wall, Chloroplast
Control Center in a cell
Nucleus
Prokaryote and Eukaryote
All cells can be classified as one of these
Diffusion
a type of passive transport that moves molecules through a cell membrane
Cell membrane
thin layer that encloses the cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell
Cell wall
surrounds the cell membrane; provides shape and support for the cell
Active transport
requires the cell to use its own energy to move substances through its cell membrane
Prokaryotic
Cells with no true nucleus
DNA
contains important information for making proteins, etc./ contains instructions
Cellular respiration
energy releasing from food
Organelles
Small structures inside cells that have special jobs
