- Plant Cells1) have cell wall 2) have chlorophyll/chloroplasts 3) large central vacuole
- Animal Cells1) lacks cell wall 2) lacks chloroplasts 3) lacks large central vacuole
- nucleusa part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
- cytoplasma jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
- cell membranethin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- cell walla thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell, strong layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria
- vacuolea tiny cavity filled with fluid in the cytoplasm of a cell
- chloroplastsorganelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis
- chlorophyllgreen pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
- organa collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
- organ systemgroup of organs that work together to perform a specific function
- diffusionthe process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
- osmosisdiffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal
- selectively permeablea property of cell membranes that allows some substances to pass through, while others cannot
