Cell Structures
This organelle is known as the “control center” of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
Movement of particles from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
Organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast?
Process cells use to release energy from food.
What is cellular respiration?
Stage when the cell grows and prepares to divide.
What is interphase?
This organelle produces energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
Water moving across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
Gas plants take in for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
Organelle where respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
The stage of the cell cycle when DNA is copied.
What is the S phase?
The jelly-like substance that fills the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
Transport that does NOT require energy.
What is passive transport?
The main sugar produced.
**Double points: What’s the chemical equation for it?**
What is glucose?
**Bonus: C6H12O6**
Gas released during respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
The process by which the cytoplasm divides at the end of cell division.
What is cytokinesis?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Transport that DOES require energy.
What is active transport?
Energy source for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
The main energy molecule of cells.
What is ATP?
Structures that pull chromosomes apart during division.
What are spindle fibers?
Plant cells use this organelle to make food.
What is the chloroplast?
Movement using protein channels but no energy.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Photosynthesis mostly occurs in these cells.
What are chloroplasts?
The opposite process of photosynthesis.
What is cellular respiration?
The phase where the nuclear membrane reforms.
What is telophase?
