"Cell Structure & Function"
This organelle is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP.
mitochondrion
This type of molecule is the building block of proteins.
amino acid
This process involves the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
osmosis
This system is responsible for the transport of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.
circulatory system
This kingdom includes organisms such as mushrooms and yeasts, which absorb nutrients from their surroundings.
fungi kingdom
This structure controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
cell membrane
This process involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy.
respiration
This process requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.
active transport
These cells are responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood.
red blood cells
This process is the basis for producing genetically identical offspring in organisms like bacteria.
binary fission
This type of cell has no nucleus and is found in bacteria.
prokaryotic cell
These large molecules consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and are essential for life.
proteins
This type of transport does not require energy and involves the movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.
diffusion
A thick walled vessel that takes high-pressure blood away from the heart
artery
The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the absence of this in prokaryotic cells.
nucleus
These are the structures that carry genetic material in eukaryotic cells.
chromosomes
This simple sugar is an essential energy source for cells and is a product of photosynthesis.
glucose
The process by which white blood cells engulf and digest foreign particles is known as...
phagocytosis
This process involves the breakdown of food into small molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
digestion
This kingdom contains organisms that are multicellular and have chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
plant kingdom
This organelle is involved in the synthesis of proteins and is often attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and read genetic instructions from messenger RNA
ribosomes
These molecules, made up of glycerol and fatty acids, are important components of cell membranes.
lipids
This is the type of solution in which the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell.
isotonic solution
These structures in the lungs are where the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) takes place.
alveoli
These organisms are classified as autotrophs because they produce their own food through photosynthesis.
