Parts of a Cell
I am the site of protein synthesis
What is a ribosome?
In homeostasis, this notices the change.
What are receptors?
This type of digestion physically breaks down food.
What is mechanical digestion?
Hormones are a part of this body system.
What is endocrine?
These are the four most common elements in living things.
What are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen?
Only plant cells have this part that offers shape and support.
What is the cell wall?
This moves a system away from homeostasis by amplifying the effects. Oh baby, something better happen fast!
What is positive feedback?
This part of the digestive system completes digestion.
What is the small intestine?
The kidneys regulate water and waste content of the blood in this body system.
What is the excretory system?
These are the inputs in a chemical reaction.
This long thread-like part is made up of DNA and controls protein synthesis.
What is a chromosome?
This type of respiration doesn't require oxygen and occurs in the cytoplasm.
What is anerobic?
This process is the diffusion of water, from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
What is osmosis?
This part of the nervous system is a protein-chemical messenger.
What is a neurotransmitter?
These major compounds in living organisms contain large amounts of energy. They can be Mono-, di- or poly-saccharides.
What are carbohydrates?
This part packages materials to leave the cell.
What is a golgi body?
These little balloon-like structures in the lungs are the respiratory surface where gases are exchanged between the lungs and blood.
What are alveoli?
This type of digestion breaks down food with enzymes.
What is chemical digestion?
The patella is connected to the femur by one of these skeletal/muscular system structures.
What is a ligament?
These things speed up chemical reactions and remain unchanged by the reaction.
What are enzymes?
I am the site of cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart to the body.
What are arteries?
These organs assist in digestion but food doesn't travel through them.
What are the gallbladder, liver and pancreas?
This structure in the endocrine system releases hormones, insulin and glucagon.
What is the pancreas?
Molecules that are too big to fit through the lipid layer of the cell membrane are transported in this way.
What is facilitated diffusion?
