BIOLOGY

• Cell


  Basic unit of life
• Cell membrane/Plasma membrane


  • Surrounds the cell and separates it from the environment
  • Present in both plant and animal cells
• Nucleus


  Considered as the control centre of the cell and has chromosomes which house DNA
• Robert Hooke


  First studied cells and worked with the microscope
• Organelles


  • Components needed for the cell to live
• Ribosomes


  Reason why there is protein getting transported in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
• Cytoplasm


  Holds all the components in a cell and protects it from damages
• Endoplasmic Reticulum


  Network & membranes found throughout the cells that transports protein and lipids
• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)


  • Contains Ribosomes and transports protein
• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)


  • Produces lipids (fats), transports them
• Mitochondria


  The powerhouse of the cell which produces the energy currency of the cell
• Vesicle


  Serves as the digestive system of the cell or digests cellular wastes
• Golgi Apparatus


  Sorts the molecules then distributes them throughout the body
• Vacuole


  Provides structural support to the cell, it stores waste
• Lysosome


  Where the cell's waste disposal occurs, it is in charge of recycling
• Peroxisomes


  Breaks down unwanted things in the cells
• Cytoskeleton


  Provides the movement and stability of a cell
• Centrioles


  Involved in the nuclear division of the cell
• Cell Wall


  Gives protection, rigidity, and strength against mechanical stress, only shown in plant cells
• Chloroplast

  Filled with chlorophyll, only found in plants
