What is cell
“are the basic units of life”
|
What is cytoplasm
“is the portion of the cell outside the nucleus. As you will see, the nucleus and cytoplasm work together in the business of life.”
|
What is hypertonic
“These cell membrane channels facilitate, or help, the diffusion of glucose across the membrane. This process, in which molecules that cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special protein channels”
|
What is homeostasis
“relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions”
|
What is eukaryote
“are cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei”
|
What is Golgi apparatus
“which appears as a stack of flattened membranes”
|
What is diffusion
“The process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration”
|
What is organ system
“A group of organs that work together to perform a specific function ”
|
What is prokaryote
“are cells that do not enclose DNA in nuclei.
|
What is endoplasmic reticulum
“ Eukaryotic cells contain an internal membrane system known as the endoplasmic reticulum”
|
What is aquaporin
“many cells contain water channel proteins,”
|
What is tissue
“is a group of similar cells that performs a particular function.”
|
What is cell theory
“a fundamental concept of biology. The cell theory states:
• All living things are made up of cells. -Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. -New cells are produced from existing cells” |
What is chloroplast
“are the biological equivalents of solar power plants”
|
What is osmosis
“is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane”
|
What is receptor
“to which the signaling molecule can bind”
