FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Prokaryotic Cell Noun
[pro-kar-ee-ot-ik sel]
Back
Prokaryotic Cell
A simple type of cell that does not contain a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Example: This diagram shows the structure of a bacterium, a type of prokaryotic cell, highlighting its key parts like the free-floating DNA in the nucleoid.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Eukaryotic Cell Noun
[yoo-kar-ee-ot-ik sel]
Back
Eukaryotic Cell
A type of cell that contains a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Example: This diagram shows an animal cell, a type of eukaryotic cell, with its membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles like mitochondria clearly labeled.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Organelle Noun
[or-guh-nel]
Back
Organelle
A tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell.
Example: This image shows a specific organelle, the mitochondrion, taking in food (represented by rice) and converting it into energy (represented by ATP/flame).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Nucleus Noun
[noo-klee-uhs]
Back
Nucleus
The control center of a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's genetic material and directs its activities.
Example: This diagram shows a cutaway of the cell's nucleus, revealing its main parts like the chromatin (genetic material) and the surrounding nuclear envelope.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Cytoplasm Noun
[sy-toh-plaz-uhm]
Back
Cytoplasm
The gel-like fluid that fills a cell and holds all of the organelles.
Example: This diagram shows a cross-section of an animal cell, with lines pointing to the cytoplasm, the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Cell Membrane Noun
[sel mem-breyn]
Back
Cell Membrane
The semipermeable layer that surrounds a cell, controlling what substances enter and leave.
Example: This diagram shows the cell membrane is a barrier made of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that control what passes into and out of the cell.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Mitochondrion Noun
[my-toh-kon-dree-on]
Back
Mitochondrion
An organelle that generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used for cellular energy.
Example: This diagram shows a cross-section of a mitochondrion, labeling key parts like the inner and outer membranes, which are sites for cellular respiration.
