Eukaryote: A type of organism composed of one or more cells that contain a
membrane-bound nucleus and specialized organelles.
Prokaryote: A single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus
and specialized organelles.
Unicellular: Organisms that are made up of one cell
1. Multicellular: Organisms that are made up of more than one cell.

Vocabulary
Biology- the study of life
Organelle: A subunit within a cell that has a specialized function.
1. Cell: The basic unit of structure and function for all living organisms. Cells
have three common components:
a. genetic material,
b. cytoplasm, and a
c. cell membrane
d. Eukaryotic cells contain specialized organelles - prokaryotes do not.
Tissue: An anatomical unit composed of cells organized to perform a similar
function
Organ: An anatomical unit composed of tissues serving a common function.
Organ System: An anatomical system composed of a group of organs that
work together to perform a specific function or task.
Organism: A form of life; an animal, plant, fungus, protist or bacterium.

1. Nucleus: A membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells functioning to
protect the genetic material.
Plasma Membrane: A thin, phospholipid and protein molecule bilayer that
encapsulates a cell and controls the movement of materials in and out of the
cell through active or passive transport
Ribosome: A cellular structure composed of RNA and proteins that is the site
of protein synthesis in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Analogy Worksheet
 Cell Project Due October 23rd
● Analogy: a comparison between two things, typically for
the purpose of explanation or clarification.
● Using your knowledge of cells and the textbook, draft
analogies for the cell structures listed on the student guide
● At the end of this period, you will have an analogy for
every cell structure
