Structure and Function of Cells
In order to stay alive, cells must obtain _____. This allows them to perform all activities within the cell.
What is energy?
This is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is mitochondria?
This form of cellular transport does not require energy from the cell.
What is passive transport?
The main goal of photosynthesis is ____
Using energy from the sun to make food (glucose)
The cells of these organisms undergo cellular respiration.
What are all living things?
Cells must remove this
What is waste?
It is rigid and provides structure and protection for plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
This is a form of passive transport that is used to describe how water moves through the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
Photosynthesis occurs mainly in this organelle.
What is the chloroplast?
The organelle where most of cellular respiration takes place.
Cell must obtain ______ and _______
What is water and nutrients?
It is thin and flexible. It controls what substances enter and exit the cell.
What is a cell membrane?
Gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move through the cell membrane with _______.
What is (simple) diffusion?
Water and carbon dioxide (as well as light energy)
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
The products of cellular respiration.
What are water, ATP, and carbon dioxide?
What are the three principles of cell theory?
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.
All living things are made of cells.
Cells come from other cells.
This organelle is the key to photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll to absorb the sun's energy.
What is the chloroplast?
This form of cellular transport helps cells remove waste from a cell
What is exocytosis?
Oxygen and glucose
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Oxygen and glucose
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
This is a membrane bound structure that has a specialized function.
What is an organelle?
This organelle contains genetic material and controls the cell's activities.
What is the nucleus?
This form of cellular transport helps cells obtain large molecules or other cells for food
What is endocytosis?
It is stored in the plant for later use, used for the plant's cellular respiration, or used to help the plant grow and develop.
What is glucose?
Where organisms get the glucose and oxygen needed for cellular respiration
What is - they are the products of photosynthesis.
