100
What is bacteria
This living organism is classified as a prokaryote.
100
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.
100
What is the Chloroplast
This organelle acts as the solar power plant for plant cells and plays a major role in Photosynthesis
100
What is diffusion
This is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low.
100
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
200
What is a Nucleus
Prokaryotic cells lack
200
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.
200
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.
200
What is equilibrium
Water molecules will naturally move across a membrane to achieve this.
200
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.
300
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.
300
What is the Cell Wall
The organelle provides support and protects plant cells.
300
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?
300
What is a tissue?
A group of similar cells that perform a particular function is called. Give an example
400
What are Plant and Animal Cells.
These 2 types of cells are classified as Eukaryotic cells because the DNA is enclosed in a nucleus
400
What is Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
This organelle is typically found next to the nucleus in Eukaryotic cells
400
What is Ribosome
This organelle is responsible for the synthesis of proteins.
400
What is pinocytosis
This is a type of active transport that enables the cell to take in fluids
400
What is Homeostasis
Maintaining a stable internal environment despite external conditions. Give an example
500
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
500
What is Chromatin
DNA inside of the condenses into chromosomes during cell division. What do we call uncondensed DNA?
500
What are transport vesicles?
These membrane-bound organelles are responsible for transporting assembled proteins from the Golgi to the outside of the cell.
500
What is Osmotic pressure
The amount of pressure needed to prevent the movement of water by osmosis.
500
What is:
Grow
Respond to the Environment
Transfer Energy
Reproduce
In order to maintain homeostasis, unicellular organisms must: (The functions of living organisms)
