directions: match the vocabulary words on the left with the definitions on the right.

1. tissue

the central, essential, or highly concentrated part around which
other parts are grouped.

1. vacuole

a musical instrument consisting of a keyboard attached to a device
that forces air through a number of pipes to produce a wide range
of sounds; pipe organ.

1. chromosome

a membranous enclosure within a cell that contains substances
isolated from the protoplasm, such as dissolved acids.

1. chlorophyll

the ground protoplasm of cells that is outside the nucleus.

1. cell membrane

any of the very tiny rod like or string like structures that occur in
nearly all cells of plants and animals, and that process food for
energy.

1. chloroplast

a small spherical body in the nucleus of a cell, consisting of protein
and rna

1. cell wall

the mass of like cells in an animal or plant body, esp. as they form
a specific organ:

1. nucleolus

one of the tiny, threadlike, dna - containing bodies found in the cell
nuclei of all plants and animals, responsible for transmitting
hereditary characteristics.

1. organ

the green pigment in the leaves and stems of plants that is
necessary for the production of plant food by photosynthesis.

1. cytoplasm

the rigid outermost layer of a plant cell, which is made of cellulose.

1. nucleus

a small oval green bit of protoplasm that contains chlorophyll and
is the location of photosynthesis.

1. mitochondrion

the semi - permeable membrane that encloses the contents of a
cell; plasma membrane.

Explanation:

1. Tissue: A group of similar cells that perform a specific function. The description "the mass of like cells in an animal or plant body, esp. as they form a specific organ" matches this.
2. Vacuole: A membranous enclosure within a cell that contains substances isolated from the protoplasm. The description "a membranous enclosure within a cell that contains substances isolated from the protoplasm, such as dissolved acids" matches this.
3. Chromosome: One of the tiny, threadlike, DNA - containing bodies found in the cell nuclei of all plants and animals, responsible for transmitting hereditary characteristics.
4. Chlorophyll: The green pigment in the leaves and stems of plants that is necessary for the production of plant food by photosynthesis.
5. Cell membrane: The semi - permeable membrane that encloses the contents of a cell, plasma membrane.
6. Chloroplast: A small oval green bit of protoplasm that contains chlorophyll and is the location of photosynthesis.
7. Cell wall: The rigid outermost layer of a plant cell, which is made of cellulose.
8. Nucleolus: A small spherical body in the nucleus of a cell, consisting of protein and RNA.
9. Organ: The central, essential, or highly concentrated part around which other parts are grouped (in a biological context, an organ is a collection of tissues working together).
10. Cytoplasm: The ground protoplasm of cells that is outside the nucleus.
11. Nucleus: (Not matched in the given definitions, but for the sake of completion, it is the control center of the cell containing genetic material).
12. Mitochondrion: Any of the very tiny rod like or string like structures that occur in nearly all cells of plants and animals, and that process food for energy.

7. Cell wall - the rigid outermost layer of a plant cell, which is made of cellulose.
8. Nucleolus - a small spherical body in the nucleus of a cell, consisting of protein and RNA.
9. Organ - the central, essential, or highly concentrated part around which other parts are grouped (in a biological context).
10. Cytoplasm - the ground protoplasm of cells that is outside the nucleus.
11. (No exact match in given definitions, but conceptually the control center of the cell).
12. Mitochondrion - any of the very tiny rod like or string like structures that occur in nearly all cells of plants and animals, and that process food for energy.
