Cell Structures
This cell structure transports proteins and carries ribosomes.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum
This is the primary energy-carrying /energy-producing molecule in all living cells.
ATP, or Adenosine triphosphate
This type of sugar is produced through photosynthesis.
glucose
This is a mixture that can be physically separated by filtering.
A suspension
This portion of the cell lies outside of the nucleus, but inside of the cell membrane.
cytoplasm or cytoskeleton
This cell structure is where ribosomes are made.
The nucleolus.
This molecule is formed if one phosphate bond on an ATP molecule breaks and releases cellular energy.
ADP, or Adenosine diphosphate
This converts sunlight's energy to chemical-bond energy.
light reactions/chloroplasts
Bonds that hold amino acids together to form proteins are called this
peptide bonds
This organic compound is produced when our muscles run out of oxygen, making our muscles feel sore.
lactic acid
This cell structure lets RNA (ribonucleic acid) to pass into the cytoplasm.
nuclear envelope
When you add two phosphates to this molecule, ATP is formed.
AMP, or Adenosine monophosphate
Blue-green algae (and bacteria) are prokaryotic, and they have this type of DNA arrangement.
nucleoid
The breaking apart of water molecules to form bonds between other molecules.
hydrolysis
This part of a cell allows materials or substances to pass in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
This cell part, or organelle, breaks down substances within the cell.
lysosome
This is the cell structure where ADP is converted to ATP.
Mitochondria
This structure, only found in plant cells (not animal cells), supports and protects the exterior of the cell.
cell wall
In eukaryotic cells, genetic information is stored here.
the nucleus
This reaction takes place in all living cells, and it keeps the oxygen cycle in homeostatic balance with photosynthesis
respiration
These cell parts are responsible for maintaining a cell's osmotic balance, either by taking water into the cells in vessicles or by removing water in vessicles.
vacuoles
This process occurs in all living cells with or without oxygen and produces two ATPs.
glycolysis
This is the process where chemical bond energy, which was captured from sunlight and then stored, is converted into energy-carrying molecules like glucose.
synthesis reaction
This is the process of three nucleotides being put together to create amino acids.
protein synthesis
This process involves large, polar molecules being transported into a cell against a concentration gradient without the use of ATPs.
facilitated diffusion
