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 The Cell Theory?
This structure is found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and synthesizes proteins.
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 ATP 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 cell?
This organelle is important to sorting, editing, and packaging substances in the cell into vesicles.
What are Golgi bodies?
These can form channels and pumps that help certain substances pass into/ out of the cell
What are transmembrane proteins?
This is where DNA is found in a prokaryote
What is a nucleoid? (cytoplasm is OK)
This term describes a tiny particle made up of genetic material, a capsid coat, and surface proteins.
What is a virus?
This is the term for the small "compartments" within a eukaryotic cell, each with its own function.
What is an organelle?
The function of this organelle is to make lipids for the cell membrane.
What is the smooth ER?
These are two examples of small, nonpolar substances that can diffuse right through the cell membrane
What are oxygen and carbon dioxide?
This fluid, jelly-like substance fills up both the prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
What is cytoplasm?
What is cell -> tissue -> organ -> organ system?
These are the two major categories of microscopes, one of which is used for viewing living cells, and one of which is used for non-living materials.
What is light microscope and electron microscope?
The function of this organelle is to break down cellular waste and metabolize food.
What is a lysosome?
This is the name for active transport of a large material OUT of the cell
EXOcytosis
These are hair-like projections on most prokaryotes and SOME eukaryotic cells (hint: sperm cells)
What is flagella?
This is the term for maintaining stable, consistent internal conditions in the body.
What is homeostasis?
