Parts of the Cell
What are ribosomes?
What is homeostasis?
Driven by thermal energy, this passive process moves a substance from a greater concentration to a lesser concentration in a downhill-like motion.
What is Diffusion?
These membranous organelles act as the powerhouse of the cell, producing cell energy otherwise known as ATP.
What is the Mitochondria?
This intracellular fluid contains a solution of cell plasma & organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
Due to its pulling force, this passive process allows the diffusion of water to take place across selectively permeable sections of a membrane.
What is Osmosis?
This membranous organelle act as the cell's cleanup crew, surrounding foreign pathogens through phagocytosis and releasing chemical enzymes to kill off the bacterial threat.
What is the lysosome?
The ability to pass through a membrane is known as _________.
What is Permeability?
Active processes need this type of three phosphated form of cell energy to carry out their tasks.
What is ATP?
This membranous organelle packages mucous protein and pinches sections of itself off to carry it out of the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This fluid surrounds cells and is also known as interstitial fluid.
What is Extracellular Fluid?
This form of assisted diffusion requires the use of a carrier protein to move materials across a membrane.
What is Facilitated Diffusion?
This double-fatty layer surrounds the cell surface and contains both hydrophillic heads & hydrophobic tails.
What is the Phospholipid Bilayer?
Moving materials out of the cell is also known as _________ .
What is exocytosis?
When moving materials into the cell, this process can include both Pinocytosis (cell drinking) & Phagocytosis (cell eating).
What is Endocytosis?
