Bacteria belong to this type of cell.

Term
eukaryote
Definition
Is a human cell a prokaryote or eukaryote?
Term
nucleus
Definition
The control center of the cell is called the ______.
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
This is the Jelly-like inside of cell, made mostly of water.
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
This is where ribosomes finish making proteins
Term
ribosomes
Definition
This is the organelle that makes proteins
Term
golgi bodies
Definition
These organelles packages proteins to be sent out to cytoplasm or out of membrane
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
This barrier controls what gets in and out of the cell.
Term
nucleolus
Definition
This darker part of the nucleus is where ribosomes are made.
Term
mitochondion
Definition
This organelle makes energy available to cell; it's the site of cellular respiration
Term
cilia
Definition
These tiny hair-like organelles help a cell move or move things past the cell.
Term
flagella
Definition
This whip-like tail that helps some cells move.
Term

semi-permeable

or

selectively permeable

Definition
Because a cell membrane allows some things to get through but not other things, it is called _______ __________.
Term
permeable
Definition
If a cell membrane were 100% _______, then everything could get through it.
Term
prokaryotic
Definition
This type of cell that has no nucleus (like primitive cells, such as bacteria)
Term
eukaryotic (adj)/ eukaryote (N.)
Definition
This type of cell that has a nucleus and a variety of organelles (like plant and animal cells)
Term
cell wall
Definition
The support structure that surrounds plant cells and is made of cellulose is called the ___________ ________.
Term
cytoskeleton
Definition
These are the tubes and rods that connect the other cell parts and give the cell structure and shape
Term
eukaryote
Definition
Is a plant cell a prokaryote or a eukaryote?
Term
movement
Definition
It's the function of cilia.
Term
movement
Definition
It's the role of flagellum/flagella
Term
cell membrane
Definition
This is the part of a lung cell that would be responsible for allowing oxygen to enter the cell
Term
