Stores most of the genetic information in eukaryotic cells.
What is the Nucleus
What does selective permeability refer to?
Controls what materials can cross
Unlike cells, viruses cannot make their own energy. They must use this to reproduce.
What is a host cell?
Folded membranes surrounding the nucleus that transport materials to the Golgi Apparatus and through the cell.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Links amino acids together to form proteins
What is the Ribosome
2 Parts: What is osmosis? Does it require energy?
Water traveling across a selectively-permeable membrane from high water potential to low water potential. No cell energy is required.
Cells are considered living because they perform all 8 life functions. Viruses are not considered fully alive because they cannot do this on their own.
reproduce (or carry out metabolism)
Plasma membrane, DNA and RNA, ribosomes and cytoplasm
What do ALL cells have?
A bean shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell
Mitochondria
Provides a rigid layer that gives protection, support, and shape to some types of cells
What is a Cell wall
Using his handmade microscope, Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe single-celled organisms, now known as this type of cell without a nucleus.
What is a Prokaryotic Cell or Prokaryote
Animal cells would shrivel up, plant cells would undergo plasmolysis but be protected by their cell wall
How would the shape of animal cells and plant cells be different when placed in a hypertonic solution?
Plants use _________________ for storage of water, food molecules, enzymes, etc. ____________ are the organelles that carry out photosynthesis.
What are vacuoles, chloroplasts
Facilitates movement of molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane
What are transport proteins - channel proteins, carrier proteins
2 Parts: Describe active transport. What are the two types of active transport?
Active transport drives molecules from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Endocytosis/ Exocytosis
