Prokaryote

• A multicellular organism with a nucleus

• A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

• An organism that has membrane-bound organelles

• A type of virus that infects bacteria

Eukaryote

• A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

• A simple cell without a nucleus

• A type of bacteria

• A cell that only exists in multicellular organisms

Protein

• A molecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; needed by the body for growth, repair, and to speed up chemical reactions (enzymes)

• A type of carbohydrate that provides energy to the body

• A lipid that stores energy and insulates the body

• A vitamin that helps in the absorption of minerals

Plant cell

• Type of Prokaryotic cell that lacks a nucleus

• Type of Eukaryotic cell that contains Chloroplasts and a cell wall

• Type of Eukaryotic cell that is typically round in shape

• Type of cell that only exists in fungi

nitrogen base

• part of a nucleotide / made of nitrogen. (important for understanding DNA's functioning in genetics)

• a type of protein that helps in muscle contraction

• a carbohydrate that provides energy to cells

• a lipid that stores energy in the body

lipid

• A biomolecule made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms; includes fats, oils, and waxes. Long-term energy. Glycerol head and fatty acid tail.

• A type of carbohydrate that provides immediate energy.

• A protein that serves as a catalyst in biochemical reactions.

• A nucleic acid that stores genetic information.

Cell Membrane

• Thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell

• Rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell

• Fluid-filled space within the cell that holds organelles

• Outer layer that prevents all substances from entering the cell
