What are organelles?

Parts of a cell that perform specific functions for the cell

100

What is the Golgi apparatus

 It sorts and transports proteins

100

What is selectively permeable?

Cell membrane quality allowing some things and not others into the cell.

100

Organic compounds usually come from living things. They contain what 3 elements?

 C, H, and O

100

What are lipids?

These are fatty compounds that come from fats and oils in our diet.

200

Its function is storage of water and minerals

vacuole

200

It is the cell control center. It containes DNA

 nucleus

200

Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration with the help of protein transporter.

facilitated diffusion

200

What are polymers?

Large organic molecules that consist of repeated linked units called monomers

200

These are the small units that make up proteins.

amino acids

300

This type of cell has no nucleus. Bacteria is one example of this type of cell.

 prokaryotic

300

transforms or makes energy in the form of ATP during cellular respiration

 Mitocondria

300

This is the diffusion of water

osmosis

300

This reaction occurs when a polymer breaks apart and gives off water.

hydrolysis

300

Sugars the body can quickly use for energy are called

 carbohydrates

400

Maintains homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell

 plasma or cell membrane

400

this organelle processes proteins

endoplasmic reticlum

400

Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration without the help of protein transporter.

simple diffision

400

This is an organic acid mainly present in the chromosomes in the nucleus, cytoplasm of cells and certain cell organelles like chloroplast and mitochondria. It mainly functions as the genetic material for all living cells.

nucleic acid

400

These bonds join these together to form proteins from amino acids

peptide bonds

500

Digests waste material within the cell

 lysosome

500

in the center of the nucleus; synthesizes ribosomes

nucleolus

500

This aspect of the phospholipids molecule keeps the membrane from dissolving in water

 non-polar (hydrophobic) tails

500

The four major categories of organic compounds.

carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids

500

These are proteins that act as catalysts - they speed up reactions

enzymes
