Homeostasis
The ability of a cell or organism to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.
Metabolism
The sum of all chemical processes that occur within a cell or organism to maintain life.
Eukaryote
An organism whose cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryote
A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Plasma membrane
A biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of all cells from the outside environment.
Ribosome
A cellular structure responsible for synthesizing proteins.
Lysosome
An organelle containing digestive enzymes for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.
Nucleus
The membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's chromosomes and is responsible for regulating gene expression.
Cytoplasm
The material within a cell, excluding the nucleus, where various cellular processes occur.
Vacuole
A membrane-bound organelle that stores various substances, including waste products and nutrients.
Golgi apparatus
An organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or for use within the cell.
Chloroplast
An organelle found in plant cells that conducts photosynthesis.
Mitochondria
Organelles known as the powerhouse of the cell, where ATP is produced.
Phospholipid bilayer
A double layer of phospholipids that makes up the plasma membrane, with hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads.
Cytoskeleton
A network of fibers that provide structural support and shape to the cell.
Centrioles
Cell organelles involved in cell division and the formation of cilia and flagella.
Chromosome
A structure composed of DNA and histones that carries genetic information.
Flagella
Long, whip-like structures that aid in cell movement.
Cilia
Short, hair-like structures that also help in cell movement and the movement of substances along cell surfaces.
Compartmentalization
The division of cellular processes into distinct membrane-bound areas within a cell.
Cell theory
All living things are made of one or more cells
The cell is the smallest unit of living things
All cells come from pre existing cells
All cells have
