Cells
The 3 Basic Tenets of this are:
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life.
3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
What is Cell Theory?
This structure is found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What are ribosomes?
This part of the cell controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This is something that eukaryotes have, but prokaryotes do not have.
What is a nucleus?
This structure in a plant cell enables it to make its own food.
What are chloroplasts?
This type of cell always has a cell wall.
What is a plant cell?
This organelle is important for making energy in a cell.
What is mitochondria?
This is the main component of a cell membrane.
What are Phospholipids?
These types of cells are larger and more complex.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This type of cell has chloroplasts and a large central vacuole.
What is a plant cell?
This type of cell does not have a nucleus.
What is Prokayrotic?
This organelle is important to sorting and packaging substances in the cell into vesicles.
What are Golgi bodies?
These proteins can form, channels, pumps, and receptors.
What are transmembrane proteins?
Unicellular organisms digest nutrients in organelles known as these.
What are food vacuoles?
This is how a multicellular organism obtains oxygen.
What is the respiratory system?
In general, unicellular organisms use these to perform life functions.
What is an organelle?
The function of these organelles is to make proteins.
What are ribosomes and the Rough ER?
This has a specific shape that complements the receptor it binds to on the cell membrane.
What is a ligand?
This fluid type substance fills up both the prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
What is cytoplasm?
This is how a unicellular organism obtains oxygen.
What is diffusion? or (What is diffuses across its membrane?)
These types of cells can have flagellum or cilia.
What is bacterium and protist?
The function of this organelle is to make lipids.
What is Smooth ER?
This structure found in the cell membrane often acts as an antigen.
What is glycoprotein?
This is where DNA is found in a prokaryote.
What is the nucleoid?
This is a unicellular organism that has cilia, a nucleus and chloroplasts.
What is a protist?
