Life processes
The life process that is responsible for creating new forms of life and passing on DNA
Reproduction
site of power generation in the cell
what is mitochondria
This structure which is not found in animal cells offers support and protection
What is the cell wall?
The movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration
What is Diffusion?
Humans must exchange gasses as part of their survival. Which 2 gasses are most commonly exchanged?
Oxygen and CO2
The large organelle responsible for protein production and construction of cell structures
what is endoplasmic reticulum
Though found in animal cells, this structure is much larger in plant cells. It helps with storage, waste disposal, protection, and even growth.
What is a vacuole?
The process of water moving across a membrane to balance concentrations
What is osmosis
What life process is responsible for getting food?
Nutrition
Animal cells are surrounded by the following structure
What is the membrane
Why are chloroplasts green? (what function does their color help with?)
What is photosynthesis?
What is meant by the term "selectively permeable" when referring to a cell membrane
It only lets in certain things
The ability of life to interact with parts of its environment
Responding to stimuli
Why do cells need their cytoplasm?
To hold their structures in place
True or False: Because plant cells have a wall, they don't need a cellular membrane.
What is False?
An onion cell will shrivel up if exposed to...
Water with HIGHER salt content, LOWER salt content, THE SAME salt content
HIGHER salt content
The skeleton in humans is responsible for giving structure and a framework for this life process
what is growth
The function of the lysosomes
To digest and break down
The function of the Golgi Apparatus
To send proteins to different parts of the cell.
Which direction will water flow due to Osmosis?
Cell Salt Concentration: 10%
Outside Salt Concentration: 30%
What is outside?
