THE HISTORIC SCIENTIFIC THEORY THAT LIVING THINGS ORGANISMS ARE MADE UP OF CELLS

An organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane

Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent

any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell

A gel-like matrix composed of water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, and gases and contains cell structures

the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus

separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment

a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria

a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place

an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur

a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water

a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms

a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells

eukaryotic cells or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus

the basic unit of life in organisms of the kingdom Plantae

the intermingling of substances by the natural movement of their particles

an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane

a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion

a small fluid-filled bladder, sac, cyst, or vacuole within the body

a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution

a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced
