Cell - The basic unit of structure and function in all living organisms., Cell Membrane - regulates what goes into and out of the cell, Cell Wall - gives structure to plant cells, Chloroplast - The green organelle in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy., Cytoplasm - fluid that surrounds the organelles, Mitochondria - converts energy from food into energy a cell can use, Nucleus - contains genetic material (DNA) and controls the use of genes; found in eukaryotic cells, Organ - a group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions, Organ System - a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function or group of functions, Organelle - differentiated structure within a cell that performs a specific function, Tissue - a group of cells in an organism that have similar structure and function, Vacuole - An organelle that holds food and water that needs to be digested and wasted that will be released from the cell. They are smaller in animal cells and a large central in a plant cell., Lysosomes - A small, round organelle that helps break down food/worn out parts., Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - It is coated with ribosomes, so it looks bumpy. It consists of stacks of flattened sacs involved in the production and export of proteins, glycoproteins, and hormones. It acts as a "highway" for the cell; it transports these substances throughout the cell, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - It is without ribosomes, produces lipids and steroids. It also has enzymes that are involved in the breakdown of toxins, drugs, and toxic byproducts from cellular reactions. It also stores steroids and ions for the cell. It looks like a network of smooth tubes., Ribosomes - They are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell., Chromosomes - Structures made of DNA that contain genetic information used to carry out cell functions., Centrioles - They are tube-like structures that aid in cell division., Golgi Body (Apparatus) - It is the organelle that modifies and packages ribosome (proteins). It can be thought of as the "shipping center" of a cell.,
