Plasma membrane: Flexible and does not mix with water

Leukocyte: Can reach out with its cell membrane to capture invaders; contains many lysosomes (organelles filled with digestive enzymes)

Cardiac muscle cells: Contain many mitochondria

Nucleus: Contains the cell's DNA, separating it from the rest of the cell

Neurons: Long and branching, with receptor proteins on the outside

Intestinal cell: Contains many transport proteins and has long finger-like structures called microvilli

Carbon atoms: Can bind to 4 other atoms

Mitochondria: Full of ATP synthase, with lots of folds to increase surface area for chemical reactions

Can break down captured invaders after it "eats" them to defend the body

Can absorb nutrients from outside the body and bring them inside the body

Constantly moving in order to pump blood through the body

Form complex molecules

Can connect with many other cells all over the body to send signals between the body and the brain

Separates the inside of the cell from the environment; changes shape to let nutrients in and wastes out

Makes sure the right proteins are made at the right time

Generate energy for the cell
