Cell Structure and Function Concepts

heterotrophic

• That can make its own food

• That cannot make its own food and obtains nutrients energy by consuming other organisms

• That only consumes plants

• That produces energy through photosynthesis

autotrophic

• That makes its own food

• That relies on other organisms for food

• That can only survive in water

• That is a type of animal

microscope

• A tool that allows you to see enlarged images of tiny images.

• A device used to measure temperature.

• An instrument for recording sound waves.

• A machine for analyzing chemical compositions.

cell

• the basic unit and structure and function in all living things.

• a type of organelle found in plant cells.

• the smallest particle of an element.

• a group of tissues working together.

eukaryotic

• Having a membrane and nucleus bound cell parts inside each cell

• Lacking a membrane and nucleus

• Composed only of prokaryotic cells

• Having no defined cell structure

unicellular

• Made up of only one cell

• Consisting of multiple cells

• A type of multicellular organism

• A term for cell division

organism

• A type of cell

• An individual living thing

• A group of similar species

• A non-living entity

Cell theory

• A well supported explanation that the cell is the fundamental structural unit of living matter

• A hypothesis that cells are only found in plants

• A theory that cells can spontaneously generate from non-living matter

• A statement that all living organisms are made up of tissues and organs

Multicellular

• made up of more than one cell

• consisting of a single cell

• capable of independent movement

• able to photosynthesize

Prokaryotic

• made up of one cell that lacks a nucleus and membrane cell parts

• made up of multiple cells with a defined nucleus

• made up of cells that have membrane-bound organelles

• made up of cells that can perform photosynthesis
