Which organelle can move the entire cell through extracellular fluid?
Flagella
Which organelle makes proteins?
Ribosomes
Which macromolecule stores, transmits, and expresses our genetic information?
Nucleic Acids
All cells come from other cells via cell division during the ____________.
cell cycle
Specialized structures within the cell that work together to help the cell function are called what?
Organelles
Where does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
This organelle gets vesicles of protein from the Rough ER and further processes, modifies, packages and sorts them for transport
Golgi apparatus
What is the monomer for proteins?
Amino Acids
Differentiation is the process of ____________, or undifferentiated cells, undergoing specialization to become specific types of cells with different functions.
stem cells
The sum of all the biochemical processes in the body is called what?
Metabolism
Ribosomes on the _________ make proteins to export from the cell.
Rough ER
Cellular respiration breaks down chemical energy in food to release it as usable energy in the form of _______________.
ATP
Glucose, fructose, and glycogen are examples of __________________.
carbohydrates
In the __________ phase of the cell cycle the cell start to divide.
mitosis
Cells are very diverse, but on a basic level they are broken down into two different types. What are they?
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
This organelle breaks down dead stuff inside the cell and can do programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Lysosomes
____________________ are storage sites of water, nutrients, waste, etc. for the cell.
Vacuoles
__________________ are mostly proteins that are biological catalysts.
Enzymes
In which phase does the cytoplasm split, forming 2 identical daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
