Cell - correct answers ✔✔Smallest unit of life. The basic unit of funtin and structure for all living things.
Nucleus - correct answers ✔✔Control center of the cell. Contains DNA. Contains genetic information.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) - correct answers ✔✔A complex molecule containing the genetic
information that makes up the chromosomes.
Plasma (or cell) membrane - correct answers ✔✔Acts as a barrier (semipermeable membrane) between
the inside and outside of the cell, materials enter or exit through it.
Interstitial Fluid - correct answers ✔✔Liquid found between the cells of the body that provides much of
the liquid environment of the body. Contains acids, sugars, fatty acids, hormones, neurotransmitters, and
salts.
Selectively permeable (semipermeable) - correct answers ✔✔A property of cell membranes that allows
some substances to pass through, while others cannot.
Cytoplasm - correct answers ✔✔The fluid matrix found between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
that acts as scaffolding for the organelles.
Organelles - correct answers ✔✔"Little organs," specialized units in the cell that perform certain
functions.
Mitochondria - correct answers ✔✔Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy)
production.

Smooth ER is free ribosomes and is found in a variety of cells, and has various functions including storage
of enzymes and minerals and the folding of proteins.
Golgi complex - correct answers ✔✔Organelle that modifies, packages, and transports material out of
the cell.
Cell wall - correct answers ✔✔A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support
to the cell.

Vacuoles - correct answers ✔✔Compartments in the cytoplasms that act as places for secretion,
excretion, and storage.
Chromatin - correct answers ✔✔Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell.
Chromosomes - correct answers ✔✔A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the
nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Mitosis - correct answers ✔✔A type of cell division, useful in the growth and repair of our bodies.
Zygote - correct answers ✔✔The cell created by the union of a sperm and egg (fertilized egg). Contains a
full set of chromosomes, half from each parent.
