Drinking ocean spray
the control center of the cell
nucleus
An organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes.
Haploid
Usually has ONE large vacuole
plant cell
Responsible for the formations proteins in the cell
Ribosomes
Controls what enters and exits the cell
cell membrane
Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents
antibodies
Gives the plant cells its rigid shape and provides extra support
cell wall
Identical copies of a chromosome; full sets of these are created during the S phase of interphase.
sister chromatids
This organelle captures energy from sunlight during photosynthesis
chloroplast
The site where photosynthesis takes place
chloroplast
A network of passageways responsible for transporting material from one part of the cell to another
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
A protein that, when introduced in the blood, triggers the production of an antibody
Antigen
the powerhouse of the cell - produces energy
mitochondria
Each chromosome carries the same genes in the same order, but the alleles for each trait may not be the same
homologous chromosomes
Chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane dissolves, spindle fibers forms
prophase
Smooth and Rough
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
name 3 of the 5 most common model organisms
1. E. coli
2. Yeast
3. Zebrafish
4. Drosophila
5. C. elegans
General term for lymphocytes that are responsible for immunological memory and protective immunity.
memory cells
Make protein for the cell. Found on the ER or free-floating
ribosome
Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis.
crossing over
The gel like substance that surrounds the organelles
cytoplasm
Powerhouse
mitochondria
Responsible for packaging and distributing proteins to other parts of the cell
golgi bodies/apparatus
not directed at particular antigen. It is a general response that includes: inflammation, phagocytes, immunological surveillance, and interferons
Non-specific immune response
Controls what goes in and out of the nucleus. Protects it.
nuclear/ cell membrane
This is the phase that DNA is replicated
S phase
A period of time in between mitosis during which a cell grows and copies its DNA,
Cell spend most of its time in this phase.
interphase
2 organelles that can be found only in plant cell
Chloroplast
Large Central Vacuole
Cell Wall
type of RNA that carries instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome
mRNA
A widely studied organism, usually easy to maintain and breed in a laboratory setting and has particular experimental advantages
Model organism
