CELL

1. Microscope- gateway to the cells
2. Cell- smallest living unit of organism
3. Mitochondria- the powerhouse of the cell since it provides energy for produing many atp molecules in highly efficient fashion
4. Golgi bodies- modified polypeptide chains in mature proteins; sorting and ship[ping proteins and lipids for secretion or use inside the cell
5. Nucleus- localizing the cells DNA which make it the control center of the cell
6. Ribosomes- assemble polypeptide chains
7. Cell membrane- centrol of exchange of material; mediation of cell-cell environment interaction
8. Cristae- inner membrane of the mitochondria where enzymes and other types of inner mitochondrial membrane aere partitioned and are used for ATP formation
9. Eukaryotes-contains a profusion of cell otganelles which are internal, membrane bound sac, and compartments that serve specific metabolic functions
10. Atp-unit of energy currency of the cell
11. Organeele-Internal, membrane bound sac or compartment that serves one or more specialized functions inside these cells
12. Lysosomes- the main function is degradation or recycling
13. Plasma membrane-regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Many molecules cross the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis.
14. Cell wall- the main function is protection and structural support
15. Chloroplast- the organelle for photosynthesis and store some starch
16. Endoplasmic reticulum- isolation, modification, transport of proteins nad other sunstances
17. Vacuole- increasing palnt cell surface area and storage
18. Ribosomes- structure aat which maono acidsss are strung together ina specified sequence to form the polypeptide chains of proteins
19. Cytoplasm- all cellular parts, aprticles and semifluid substances enclosed within the plasma membrane except for nucleus
20. Human- a eukaryoric organism which are said to be the highest form of organism because of its thinking ability
