Life Science Vocabulary Words
UNIT 1 PART 1 VOCABULARY WORDS
- Cell – the smallest functional and structural unit of all living things*
- Prokaryote – single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles*
- Eukaryote – an organism made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane*
- DNA – molecule present in all living things; contains the information that determines the traits that a living thing inherits and needs to live
- Organelle – structures within a cell that perform specific functions*
- Nucleus – a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell’s DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction*
- Cytoplasm – the fluid inside the cell that acts as a cushion*
- Cell Wall – a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell*
- Cell Membrane – protective layer that covers the cell’s surface and acts as a barrier*
- Mitochondria –an organelle that is the site of cellular energy ; produces energy (ATP)*
- Chloroplast – organelle that contains chlorophyll; the site of photosynthesis*
- Lysosome-organelle that digests wastes, cell parts, and foreign particles*
- Homeostasis – the maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment
- Diffusion – movement of particles from areas of high concentration to low concentration
- Osmosis – the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
- Photosynthesis - process in which some organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food.*
- Cellular Respiration – the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.*
- Mitosis – process of cell division that form two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes*
