SCIENCE--CELL VOCAB--LIST ONE
1. Cell-the basic building blocks of all living things; too small to be seen with eye
2. Cell wall-the stiff outer layer that protects a plant cell and gives it shape
3. Chloroplast-in plant cells that contains chlorophyll, which enable the plant to make its own
food
4. Cytoplasm (cytosol)-colorless, jellylike substance inside the cell membrane that holds the
organelles
5. Mitochondria-bean shaped organelles that transforms sugar into another type of energy
6. Nucleus-the control center of the cell, which directs the cell’s activities and decides what
proteins need made
7. Vacuole-a space in a cell enclosed by a membrane where food, water and wastes are stored.
8. Ribosome-this organelle builds the proteins that the cell needs; located on the ER.
9. Chromosome (DNA)-these hold the blueprints of life and are located inside the nucleus.
10. Cell (plasma) Membrane-this is an outer layer of a cell that regulates what enter and exits the
cell.
11. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-this network of sacs, tubes, and channels moves materials
throughout a cell; the ribosomes do their work here.
