Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
What is matter?
When two molecules of the same type are attracted to each other and bond together
What is cohesion?
Composed of many monosaccharides linked together
What is a polysaccharide?
This organelle contains DNA
What is the nucleus?
This organelle converts energy from sunlight into carbohydrates
What is a chloroplast?
Has neither a definitive shape nor a definitive volume
What is a gas?
When two different molecules are attracted to each other and bond together
What is adhesion?
These types of macromolecules assist in chemical reactions
What is a protein (or enzyme)?
This organelle is found on another organelle and is primarily responsible for synthesizing proteins
What is a ribosome?
This organelle ships proteins to various parts of the cell or out of the cell
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This subatomic particle has a positive charge
What is a proton?
This property of water allows for water to absorb or release large amounts of energy without having its temperature change significantly
What is a high specific heat?
The monomer for a nucleic acid
What is a nucleotide?
This organelle produces ATP, a form of energy that drives many of the cells processes
What is the mitochondria?
These organelles use enzymes to break down during components of the cell to then be transported out of the cell
What are lysosomes (or peroxisomes)?
Allows matter to do work
What is energy?
The negatively-charged atom in the hydrogen bonds of water molecules
What is oxygen?
The shape of DNA
What is a double helix?
This organelle is like a storage container for proteins and helps to protect proteins as they are shipped to various parts of the cell or out of the cell
What is a vesicle?
The process of how prokaryotes became eukaryotes
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
Composed of two or more unique atoms
What is a compound?
Water rising up a paper towel is what form of adhesion?
What is capillary action?
The monomers of a lipid
What is glycerol and fatty acids?
Bacteria is an example of this type of organism
What is a prokaryote?
This organelle is made of a cylinder of protein tubules and is involved in cell division
What is the centriole?
