  1. 3. Absorbs light energy and gives plants their green color.
  2. 6. Basic functional unit of life
  3. 7. A structure within a cell that has a specific function (job).
  4. 8. A unicellular (one celled) organism that does not have a nucleus (center); ex-bacteria
  5. 10. Process by which energy stored in food is converted into usable energy called ATP.
  6. 13. How something is made (what it looks like)
  7. 14. Contains chlorophyll (green) and is where photosynthesis occurs.
  8. 15. wall A rigid (hard, not flexible) layer that surrounds the membrane that supports the shape of the cell (plant, bacteria, fungi, algae).
  9. 16. has three parts 1) all organisms are made of one or more cells, 2) all cells come from pre-existing cells, 3) cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms.
  10. 17. membrane Surrounds the cell and controls what goes into and our of the cell.

  2. 2. Stores fluid like water.
  3. 4. The reason for how something works (why it does a specific job)
  4. 5. Produce usable energy through cellular respiration
  5. 9. Makes protein
  6. 11. Cells containing a nucleus
  7. 12. Contains genetic material (DNA) that stores instructions essential to cell function.
  8. 15. The gel-like fluid that fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
