The basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known organisms.

The study of cells.

Scientist who discovered cells in 1665.

A type of cell that has membrane-bound organelles.

A type of cell that does not have membrane-bound organelles.

Organisms composed of a single cell

Organisms composed of many cells.

Set of four principles about cell structures and functions.

All organisms are composed of one or more cells.

Cells are the smallest living things.

Cells arise only by division of pre-existing cells.

All cells come from preexisting cells.

A cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.

A cell that has a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

The membrane-bound organelle in a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's DNA.

The membrane that surrounds a cell, controlling what enters and leaves.

A rigid layer outside the plasma membrane of some cells, providing structural support.

The organelles involved in energy production. (powerhouses of the cell)

Thread-like structures in the nucleus that carry genetic information.

Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

Membrane-bound sacs that store water, nutrients, or waste products in cells.

A type of asexual reproduction used by some prokaryotes, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells

Processes of cell division, common in eukaryotes.

An organelle involved in processing, packaging, and transporting proteins and lipids.
