Mitochondria - organelle converts glucose to ATP (energy) production through cellular respiration, Chloroplast - organelle that converts solar energy to sugar; makes plants green because they contain chlorophyll; site of photosynthesis; found in plant cells (and some bacteria) only, Ribosomes - where proteins are synthesised in the cell, Cell Wall - hard structure just outside the cell membrane; gives the plant cell (and some prokaryotic cells) structure and support; protects the cell; contains pores which allow materials to pass to and from the cell membrane, Cell Membrane - separates the cell from the surrounding environment and controls what enters/ exits the cell, Nucleus - where most of the genetic material (or DNA) of the cell is stored; only found in eukaryotes., Eukaryote - a cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles; includes both plant and animal cells, Prokaryote - an organism that consists of a single cell that does not have a nucleus; includes all bacteria, Cytoplasm - a fluid, or gel-like substance, that fills the cell; the organelles and other particles float in it., Organelle - tiny specialized structures inside each eukaryotic cell that carry out a specific function., Vacuole - fluid-filled organelles that store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products; MUCH larger in plant cells, Unicellular - having only one cell, Multicellular - having more than one cell, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - network of canals filled with fluid; they carry materials throughout the cell; these are NOT covered with with ribosomes; helps break down toxins and make lipids, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - network of canals filled with fluid; they carry materials throughout the cell; these are lined with ribosomes that help make proteins, Cell Theory Part 1 - 1. All living things are made of cells, Cell Theory Part 2 - 2. Cells are the most basic unit of life, Cell Theory Part 3 - 3. Cells come from other cells, Things common to ALL CELLS (prokaryote and eukaryote) - cell membrane, ribosomes, DNA/RNA, Cytoplasm, Homeostasis - a state of equilibrium; a cell keeping itself (and it's organism) happy​​​, balanced, content, Cellular Respiration - process that converts usable energy from organic compounds (most often carbohydrates) from food into ATP, Organelles responsible for energy transformations - mitochondria and chloroplasts,
