Plant cells contain a cell membrane like animal cells, but they also contain this, which give plant cells a rigid shape
What is a cell wall?
Passive transport does not require energy like this form of transport does
What is Active Transport?
This is a loop that will increase the initial stimulus until a drastic changes occurs (ex. baby born)
What is a positive feedback loop?
DNA is stored in this membrane bound organelle that serves as the control center of the cell
What is the nucleus?
This molecule is the food made from photosynthesis
What is glucose?
These green organelles are only found in plant cells and allow them to make their own food
What are chloroplasts?
This is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane
What is osmosis?
The shape and size of a cell is influenced by this ratio.
What is SA:V? (surface area to volume ratio)
These small organelles make proteins
What are ribosomes?
This is the first step of photosynthesis
What is the light reaction?
These storage containing organelles are much larger and more common in plant cells than animal cells
What are vacuoles?
Putting a cell in this type of solution will cause it to shrink.
What is a hypertonic solution?
According to cell theory all cells come from these
What are preexisting cells?
This organelle serves to package, process, and redistribute proteins in the cell
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
These are the three reactants of photosynthesis
What is water, light, & carbon dioxide?
This organelle uses enzymes to digest and recycle old cell parts (mostly found in animal cells)
What is a lysosome?
This is the name of the structure of a lipid membrane
What is a phospholipid bilayer?
This invention led to the discovery of cells and cell theory
The microscope
These essential molecules are made by ribosomes
What are proteins?
This steps of photosynthesis uses CO2 to build glucose.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
This green pigment found in chloroplasts is essential for plants to accomplish photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
This is the natural balanced state your body seeks to maintain by using cell transport.
What is homeostasis?
This is a very small lipid sphere or bubble that is used to transport molecules in and around the cell.
What is a vesicle?
Mitochondria are the energy makers of the cell, and that energy is stored in this molecule
What is ATP?
The first step of photosynthesis takes place in these structures inside of the chloroplast.
What is the thylakoids or grana?
