---|---|---|---|---|
What is bacteria
This living organism is classified as a prokaryote.
|
What is a Fluid Mosaic Model
The cell membrane is called this type of model because of the variety of protein channels and other molecules that "float" around the membrane.
|
What is the Chloroplast
This organelle acts as the solar power plant for plant cells and plays a major role in Photosynthesis
|
What is diffusion
This is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low.
|
What is cell specialization
Multicellular organisms have a variety of cells that split up the responsibilities of life. The process of developing unique cells is called
|
What is a Nucleus
Prokaryotic cells lack
|
What is cytoplasm
This is the fluid, jelly-like substance that fills the inside of a cell and contains microfilaments that help to provide structure to the cell.
|
What is the Mitochondria
The organelle converts chemical energy stored in food molecules that can be used by a cell. Skeletal muscle cells have many.
|
What is equilibrium
Water molecules will naturally move across a membrane to achieve this.
|
What is an Organ System
A group of organs that work together is classified as an. Give an example
|
Who is Robert Hooke
This scientist used a light microscope to look at a thin slice of a cork. He named the structures he saw a cell because they reminded him of the tiny rooms in a monastery.
|
What is a Nuclear Pore
The "holes" in this membrane in Eukaryotic cells allow for RNA to leave the nucleus and go to the ribosomes.
|
What is the Cell Wall
The organelle provides support and protects plant cells.
|
What is hypertonic
When a cell is placed in a solution that contains more glucose molecules than inside the cell, the solution outside of the cell is said to be what?
|
What is a tissue?
A group of similar cells that perform a particular function is called. Give an example
|
What are Plant and Animal Cells.
These 2 types of cells are classified as Eukaryotic cells because the DNA is enclosed in a nucleus
|
What is Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
This organelle is typically found next to the nucleus in Eukaryotic cells
|
What is Ribosome
This organelle is responsible for the synthesis of proteins.
|
What is pinocytosis
This is a type of active transport that enables the cell to take in fluids
|
What is Homeostasis
Maintaining a stable internal environment despite external conditions. Give an example
|
What is:
All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living cells. New cells are produced from existing cells.
The 3 parts of The Cell Theory
|
What is Chromatin
DNA inside of the condenses into chromosomes during cell division. What do we call uncondensed DNA?
|
What are transport vesicles?
These membrane-bound organelles are responsible for transporting assembled proteins from the Golgi to the outside of the cell.
|
What is Osmotic pressure
The amount of pressure needed to prevent the movement of water by osmosis.
|
What is:
Grow Respond to the Environment Transfer Energy Reproduce
In order to maintain homeostasis, unicellular organisms must: (The functions of living organisms)
