Vocabulary: Adhesive Tissues That Link Together Cells
Vocabulary Chapter 4
1. adhesive junctions- tissues that link together cells
2. basal body- An eukaryotic cell organelle that consists of a 9 + 0 arrangement of microtubule triplets; could be the organization of a microtubule assembly of a cilium or flagellum; its structure is completely identical to that of a centriole
3. capsule- surrounding the cell walls of some bacteria is a sticky layer that protects the cell surface and sometimes helps in gluing cells to surfaces
4. cell junctions- A structure that is used in connecting cells that are within a tissue to another cell
5. cell theory- The theory that all cells come from other cells and that all living things are composed of cells
6. cellular metabolism- Inside a working cell, it is the sum of endergonic and exergonic reactions

central vacuole- Within a mature plant cell, this is a membranous sac with diverse roles in development, growth, and reproduction
8. centriole- A structure in an animal cell that is made up of cylinders that form microtubule triplets arranged in a 9 + 0 pattern. An animal cell typically contains a pair of centrioles involved in the process of cell division
9. chloroplast- Found only in plants and photosynthetic protists, this an organelle that takes in or absorbs sunlight and utilizes this in order to power the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water
10. chromatin- The complex of DNA and proteins that is the composition of an eukaryotic chromosome. Chromatin appears as a mass of very long, thin fibers when the cell is not dividing and under a light microscope it is not visible
11. chromosome- Similar to that of a thread, this structure carries genes and is found within the nucleus. Each chromosome is made up of a single very long DNA molecule and other associated proteins. See chromatin
12. communicating junctions- A channel in between adjacent tissue cells that is what allows both water and any other small molecules to pass through
