The smallest unit of life, found in all plants and animals, and capable of independent function.

Organisms made up of many cells working together.

Organisms consisting of only one cell.

All living things are composed of cells, demonstrating the fundamental importance of these units.

The ability to perform all the necessary functions of life independently.

The statement in Latin that expresses the fundamental principle of cell theory: "All cells arise from pre-existing cells."

The year Rudolf Virchow made his famous declaration about the origin of cells.

These cells have a true nucleus, enclosed by a nuclear membrane.

Organisms like plants, algae, and fungi are made up of these complex cells.

A rigid structure surrounding plant cells, providing support and protection.

The process of adding lignin to the cell wall, making it stronger and more rigid.

The ability of plant cells to withstand pressure and grow upright, thanks to lignified cell walls.

The key difference between plant cells and animal cells is the presence of a rigid cell wall.

Lignified cell walls allowed plants to grow vertically, reaching for sunlight and conquering new spaces.

The continuous cytoplasm inside the cells of a plant, connected by plasmodesmata.

Thin bridges connecting the cytoplasm of neighboring plant cells, allowing them to communicate.

The growth restriction of certain plants to only a few centimeters above ground level.

A thin layer that surrounds and protects a cell, made up mostly of fats (lipids) and proteins.

These tiny structures within a cell are responsible for carrying out specific tasks, such as energy production or protein synthesis.

These structures are primarily composed of lipids (fats) and proteins, and are involved in diverse cell functions.

The cell membrane regulates which molecules enter and leave the cell.

Specialized membranes inside a cell perform important functions like energy production and protein synthesis.

Proteins embedded in a cell membrane that help move substances across the membrane.

The fluid inside a cell, where important chemical reactions occur.

The process of carrying essential substances like nutrients and oxygen to different parts of the organism.

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

All chemical reactions that happen within a cell, such as breaking down food or building new molecules.
