The Cell Membrane
The cell membrane is basically composed of these molecules
What are phospholipids?
This is a common nickname for the mitochondria
What are "the powerhouses of the cell?"
Only plant cells are surrounded by this structure
What is the cell wall?
This process might be called "the canal system" of the cell
What is cytoplasmic streaming?
(Coordinating the movement of the cell's contents)
This is the difference between digestion and respiration
Digestion breaks down large molecules for biosynthesis, whereas respiration breaks down molecules to provide the cell with energy
These molecules provide sites for active transport across the cell membrane
What are proteins?
This much energy is required to get cellular respiration started
What is 2 molecules of ATP?
These organelles provide a place for photosynthesis to take place
What are chloroplasts?
These organelles could be called "protein factories"
What are ribosomes?
(These are the ones that have no membrane . . .)
This term means the removal of non-soluable waste
What is egestion?
These molecules give the cell a recognizable pattern
What are carbohydrates?
After this process, cellular respiration continues in the mitochondria
What is glycolysis?
This is the catalyst for photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
These organelles could be called "the butcher shops" of the cell
What are the lysosomes?
(Chopping up large molecules using not knives, but hydrolysis)
Oddly enough, this term is used for "sensing and responding to changes"
What is irritability?
Passive transport is accomplished by one of these two processes.
What are diffusion and osmosis?
This is the first step of cellular respiration that takes place in the mitochondria
What is the Krebs' cycle?
The central vaculoe is responsible for this phenomenon that helps prevent osmosis
What is turgor pressure?
This large network of membranes could be called "the train tracks" of the cell
What is the ER - endoplasmic reticulum?
(Transporting complex molecules throughout the cell)
This term means that everything in the cell is running properly
What is homeostasis?
If a cell finds itself in this kind of solution, it will eventually explode
What is a hypotonic solution?
The electron transport system results in this many molecules of ATP
What is 32?
This is the thin film between plant cells
What is "the middle lamella?"
These bodies could be thought of as "the warehouses" of the cell
What are the Golgi bodies?
(Storing proteins and lipids until needed)
Pinocytosis and phagocytosis are examples of this broader function
What is secretion?
