Cells

• The organs inside a cell are called organelles
• The cell membrane is the 'fence' around the outside of a cell. Controls what goes in and out of a cell
• The cytoplasm is the jelly like liquid that holds all the organelles
• The nucleus controls what the cell does. Contains DNA
• The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
• The cell wall is a rigid wall used for support
• Cell walls are only found in plant cells
• Vacuole is a space within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid and waste. They are very large in plant cells
• Ribosomes are small factories that make proteins for our cells
• Endoplasmic reticulum transports networks inside a cell to move around substances, also wraps up material to be ready to get sent out.
• Golgi apparatus sends material (protein) around the cell or outside the cell.
• Chloroplasts trap sunlight to help create energy for the cell. Chlorophyll is what makes it green.
• Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen
• Binary fission is the form of asexual reproduction and cell divison used by all prokaryotic cell organism.
• Stomata enables gas exchange and helps with photosynthesis. It is found in a plant cell.
• Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
• Cellular respiration uses the products of photosynthesis to then produce energy
• You have two types of blood cells; white and red.
• Red blood cells carry the oxygen from your lungs to cells around the body.
• White blood cells are part of your immune system, meaning they fight infections.
• Beneficial bacteria helps decompose dead plants and animals
• Harmful bacteria causes sickness
• Mitosis is a form of cell division which produces two new cells that are identical to each other. Primarily happens in eukaryote cells.
• Antibiotics do NOT work on viruses, but work on bacteria.
• All living things are made up of cells.
• Brown fat cells produce heat for the body
• White fat cells store energy
• Prokaryotes lack a nucleus
• Plant cells have a chloroplast, animal cells don't
• Prokaryotes lack a nucleus
• A Eukaryote is a cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
