Cells
These organelles are in plant cells and are the site of photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
These are the different types of atoms and they can be found on the periodic table. Just six types of these make up most of the human body.
What are elements?
A category of molecules can be found in bread, rice, potatoes, and sugary foods.
The basic building block of all matter.
What is an atom?
The organelle where cellular respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondrion?
What is the cell wall?
These molecules have "heads" that contain phosphorus and long lipid tails. They form the structure of a cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
These molecules can be found in beans, eggs, nuts, milk, and meat.
What are proteins?
Two or more atoms connected in a chemical bond.
What is a molecule?
Also called the ER, this organelle assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids. It can be either rough or smooth.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
These types of cells store their DNA in a nucleus and may be unicellular or multicellular.
What are eukaryotes?
This is the process by which water moves through the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
These molecules can be found in foods like avocados, olive oil, nuts, sour cream, butter, or some fish.
What are lipids?
A fatty molecule or (one with similar properties) that does not mix with water but can store energy in cells.
What is a lipid?
This is the organelle that makes proteins by assembling chains of amino acids using instructions encoded in the cell's DNA.
What are ribosomes?
These types of cells store their DNA in the cytoplasm and are strictly unicellular organisms.
What are prokaryotes?
This is the term for a molecule or substance that is attracted to water.
What is hydrophilic?
The unit of energy that is equal to a kcal and is found on nutrition labels to describe how much energy is gotten from a serving of a particular food.
What is a calorie?
These molecules are energy sources for the cell and include sugars, starches, and fiber. They contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
What are carbohydrates?
This organelle is responsible for packaging and distributing materials such as proteins.
What is the Golgi complex?
This is a structure made of interlinked protein filaments within the cell that helps the cell maintain its shape and organization.
What is the cytoskeleton?
These long chain molecules are made up of nucleotides and contain the information that cells need to manufacture other molecules, such as protein, that are necessary for cell processes.
What are nucleic acids?
A diet that is balanced in the amounts of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. It includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains and limits the intake of foods with little or no nutritional value.
What is a healthy diet?
These are long chains of amino acids and are used to build and repair body structures as well as regulate body processes.
What are proteins?
A membrane bound organelle that contains digestive enzymes that can break down worn-out or damaged organelles. It is found in most animal cells
What is a lysosome?
