Types of Cells
What is a eukaryotic cell?
The organelle that acts as the "brain" of a eukaryotic cell; the control center; holds the DNA.
What is the nucleus?
The term that describes how the cell membrane lets some things through, but not all things.
What is semipermeable?
The smallest, most basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
Cells that have a nucleus.
What are eukaryotic cells?
The name of the gel like substance that surrounds all of the organelles in a cell.
What is cytoplasm?
The type of transport across the cell membrane that requires energy.
What is active transport?
The entire living thing.
What is an organism?
The product of a cell with 28 chromosomes after it goes through cell division. (Number of cells, number of chromosomes)
What are two cells with 28 chromosomes each?
These cells are found in only unicellular organisms.
What is prokaryotic cell?
The "powerhouse" of the cell.
What is the micochondria?
When particles spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is "down" or "with" the concentration gradient?
A group of cells that work together to perform a task.
What is tissue?
The two stages of the cell cycle that are not part of mitosis.
What are interphase and cytokinesis?
Eukaryotic cells have this type of organelles. Prokaryotic cells do not. (Not a specific organelle, rather a trait that they have)
What are membrane bound organelles?
The function of the ribosome.
What is: makes protein for the cell?
What is facilitated diffusion?
Organs that work together to perform a task.
What is an organ system?
The thing that is divided during mitosis.
What is nucleus?
Three differences between plant and animal cells.
What are chloroplasts, cell wall, one large vacuole, and/or rectagular shape.
The function of the vacuole.
What is: stores water and nutrients for the cell?
When the cell membrane forms a small sac, called a vesicle, that engulfs a particle much too large to pass through the cell membrane, and either brings it in or pushes it out of the cell. (2 answers, both required)
Endocytosis (in) and Exocytosis (out)
Three examples of organ systems in the human body.
What are (choose 3):
circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary (excretory), skeltal, muscular, integumentary, reproductive, immune, lymphatic, nervous?
The reason that DNA is copied in interphase.
What is: so each daughter cell has a full set of DNA after cell division?
