Cell theory
Has no nucleus and unicellular
What is a prokaryote?
organelle where respiration occurs
What is the mitochondria?
means that some things can pass through and others can't
What is selectively permeable?
energy from the sun is converted to sugar
What is photosynthesis?
molecules broken down to ATP
What is cellular respiration?
make up all living things
What are cells?
assembles proteins
What are the ribosomes?
water leaving the cell when in a salt solution
What is osmosis?
glucose is used up to make cellular energy when oxygen is present
What is cellular respiration?
cells can produce ATP without oxygen
What is fermentation?
performs the function of living things
What is the cell?
found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes
What is a cell membrane?
two forms of passive transport
What are osmosis and diffusion?
an organism that makes its own food
What is a producer?
This, ATP, lactic acid, and alcohol can be released when yeast breaks down sugar
What is Carbon Dioxide?
A group of similar cells working together
What are tissues?
photosynthesis occurs here
What is the Chloroplast?
energy used to cross the cell membrane
What is active transport?
glucose is broken down into smaller pieces
What is glycolysis?
during respiration the ATP is made here
What is the mitochondria?
formed by groups of tissues
What is an organ?
contains important information for making proteins
What is DNA?
molecules packed more densely on one side of a membrane
What is a concentration gradient?
the cell membrane forms a pocket around a molecule and engulfs it
What happens when a molecule is too large for active or passive transport?
energy is taken from glucose and stored in ATP
How is energy made available to the cell?
