Biology Basics
The branch of biology focuses on the study of cells.
What is Cell Biology?
A type of cell that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This part of the cell regulates what enters and exits the cell, acting like a gatekeeper.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
This life function involves creating more individuals of the same kind.
What is reproduction?
A branch of science knowledge that studies living organisms and vital processes.
What is Biology?
A type of cell has a nucleus and is found in plants and animals.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
This organelle is filled with enzymes to break down waste and unwanted material
What is a lysosome?
This internal structure within the nucleus makes ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
This life process refers to maintaining stable internal conditions despite external changes
What is homeostasis?
The basic fundamental unit of life.
What is a cell?
The two key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What are the presence of nucleus; presence of organelles?
This structure produces most of the cell’s energy in the form of ATP.
What is the mitochondrion?)
The material that druse crystals are made of, and one of their purposes.
What is Calcium oxalate; defense or calcium storage?
This term describes the passing down of traits from parents to offspring.
What is heredity?
The gel-like substance inside a cell where most activities take place containing various organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
The type of cell bacteria is classified as.
What are prokaryotic?
This organelle helps transport proteins and lipids and comes in two forms: rough and smooth?
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle, found in plant cells, is involved in breaking down oxygen-based compounds.
What is the peroxisome?
The name for the chemical process that allows organisms to obtain and use energy.
What is metabolism?
This term is used for specialized structures within the cytoplasm that perform specific functions like producing energy or synthesizing proteins.
What are organelles?
A type of cell that is generally more complex.
What is eukaryotic?
This small membrane-bound sacs are used for storage or transport within the cell.
What are vesicles?
The process associated with peroxisomes improves efficiency in using light and energy?
What is photorespiration?
