Cell Organelles | Cells & Tissues | Cell Transport | The Cell Cylce | Miscellaneous |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is the nucleus?
This is where DNA is stored.
|
What is epithelial tissue?
This tissue functions mainly as an exterior and interior lining.

What is active transport?
This type of transport requires energy.
|
What is interphase?
Extra credit: In what phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
This phase of the cell cycle is where the cell grows, differentiates, and maintains normal functioning; it is also the longest phase of the cell cycle.
|
What is the ribosome?
This organelle is where proteins are actually made.
|
What is the mitochondria?
This is where the energy in carbohydrates gets converted to ATP (cellular respiration).
|
What is cardiac muscle?
This type of muscle tissue has intercalated disks in between the cells.
|
What is facilitated diffusion?
This type of passive transport requires the assistance of a carrier protein.
|
What is 46?
If a cell has 46 chromosomes prior to mitosis, each new daughter cell will have this many chromosomes.
|
What is isotonic?
This means that a solution's solute concentration is equal to the the solute concentration of the cell.
|
What is the endoplasmic reticulum
Extra credit: Name the two versions and what macromolecule they manufacture?
One version of this organelle functions to manufacture proteins, as well as permit proper protein folding. The other version manufactures lipids.
|
What is columnar epithelium?
Extra Credit: What's the function, and where would you find cuboidal epithelium?
This pillar-like epithelial cell functions in secretion and absorption in the intestines.
|
What is osmotic pressure?
This is the force exerted by a solution to stop osmosis.
|
What is anaphase?
Extra credit: Which stage of mitosis is the longest?
Sister chromatids are pulled apart during this phase of mitosis; the 3rd phase.
|
What is prophase?
During this stage of mitosis the nuclear membrane is broken down and the chromosomes condense.
|
What is the nucleolus?
This is where RNA is stored.
|
What is adipose tissue?
This type of connective tissue functions to store fat cells.
|
What is a hypotonic solution?
Extra credit: What would happen to the cell if it was in a hypertonic solution?
If you put a cell in this type of solution it will expand and may burst!
|
What is the centromere?
This is where sister chromatids are closely attached.
|
What is low?
[high to low concentration]
As observed in osmosis, molecules want to go to the solution with this level of concentration.
|
What is the golgi apparatus?
[golgi body]
This organelle functions package proteins and deliver them in vesicles.
|
What is stratified squamous?
This layered flat type of epithelial cell functions to resist abrasion.
|
What is phagocytosis?
Extra Credit: What do you call the engulfment of liquids?
This type of active transport is the engulfment of solid materials.
|
What is cytokinesis?
This is the division of the cytoplasm.
|
What is hydrostatic pressure?
This force allows molecules to be pushed through a membrane, permitting filtration.
|
What is G0?
Only non-dividing cells enter this phase of the cell cycle after mitosis.
