Cells and Genetics

2. has three parts 1) all organisms are made of one more cells, 2) all cells come from pre-existing cells, 3) cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms.
3. cells containing a nucleus
5. A rigid (hard, not flexible) layer that surrounds the membrane that supports the shape of the shape of the cell (plant, bacteria, fungi, algae).
8. The gel-like fluid that fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
11. Contains chlorophyll (green) and is where photosynthesis occurs.
12. A structure within a cell that has a specific function (job)
14. Absorbs light energy and gives plants their green color.
16. A unicellular (one celled) organism that does not have a nucleus (center); ex- bacteria
17. how something is made (what it looks like)

1. The process in which radiant light energy is converted into food called glucose (sugar); (6C02+6H20+Sunlight+C6H12O6+6O2)
4. makes proteins
6. the reason for how something works (why it does a specific job)
7. contains genetic material (DNA) that stores instructions essential to cell function
8. Basic functional unit of life
9. Produce usable energy through cellular respiration
10. process by which the energy stored in food is converted into usable energy called ATP
13. Stores fluid like water
15. Surrounds the cell and controls;s what goes into and out of the cell
