Cell Basics
is larger, has a nucleus and can be multicellular
Eukaryotic cell
Makes proteins
Ribosomes
Makes lipids and transports them throughout the cell
Smooth ER
Acts as the "janitor" by breaking down worn out cell material and other toxins
Lysosome
The control center of the cell
Nucleus
The diffusion of WATER through a semi-permeable membrane
osmosis
all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure/function and cells come from other cells
cell theory
Controls what enters and exits the cell
Cell membrane
converts food energy into usable energy for the cell
Mitochondria
The whip-like tail called that is used for movement
Flagellum
The part of the cell makes ribosomes
Nucleolus
Movement against the concentration gradient (low-high) and requires energy
active transport
An example of a eukaryotic cell
plant, animal, fungi, protist
Is found in the nucleus
DNA, chromatin, nucleolus
Contains ribosomes and modifies proteins
Rough ER
The hair-like projections that aid in the movement of cells
Cilia
microtubules that aid in cell division
Centrioles
movement from high-low through a protein channel
facilitated diffusion
is smaller, has no nucleus, only unicellular
prokaryotic cell
The gel-like substance surrounding organelles within the cell
Cytoplasm
The storage space for water, nutrients, and waste
Vacuole
What is the network of microtubules & microfilaments that help maintain cell structure?
Cytoskeleton
The structure OUTSIDE the plant cell that provides structure
Cell wall
having LOW amounts of solute
hypotonic
An example of a prokaryotic cell
bacteria
The site of photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
Modifies, packages and ships materials out of the cell
Golgi Apparatus/Golgi Bodies
property of allowing some things through the membrane but not others
selective permeability
Something found ONLY in plan cells
chloroplast, cell wall, central vacuole
having HIGH amounts of solute
hypertonic
