Terminology
This term means cell shrinkage.
What is Crenation?
The Powerhouse of the Cell
What is the Mitochondria?
The idea that the cell membrane allows some substances in and keeps others out.
What is selective permeability?
Energy-requiring process that moves material across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient.
What is Active Transport?
What is uncontrolled cellular growth and division called?
What is Cancer or a Tumor.
A cell characterized by the presence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They can be unicellular (protists) or multicellular (fungi, plants and animals).
What are Eukaryotes?
This enzyme filled organelle is responsible for breaking down H2O2, Hydrogen Peroxide, in the cell.
What is a peroxisome?
A membrane bound sac that contains materials involved in transport of the cell.
What is a Vesicle?
The property of a cell membrane that allows some substances to pass through, while others cannot.
What is Selectively Permable?
This Nitrogenous Base, that is a part of RNA, pairs with Adenine, taking the spot that Thiamine does in DNA.
What is Uracil.
An increase in cell size.
What is Hypertrophy?
This membranous organelle is responsible for providing a surface for fatty acids and steroids.
These two types of substances are found scattered throughout the lipid bilayer of membranes?
What are Glycoproteins and Cholesterol?
An endocytic pathway by which a cell engulfs particles such as microbes or cellular debris; cellular eating.
What is phagocytosis?
A tumor or cancer that is unable to spread past its boundaries into other tissue would be described to be what?
What is Benign?
This term is referring to the cell's ability to take in substances using a vesicle.
Endocytosis
This organelle is made up of two subunits, and the pieces are built in the nucleus of the cell. They are responsible for arranging amino acids into proteins.
What are Ribosomes?
The model that describes the arrangement and movement of the molecules that make up a cell membrane as a fluid and flexible nature.
What is the Fluid Mosaic Model?
Moving against any concentration gradient requires what?
What is Energy/ATP?
Mitosis uses Equatorial division while Meiosis uses this type of cellular division which results in daughter cells with half the amount of starting genetic material.
What is reductive division.
The self-destruction of cells; decomposition of all tissues by enzymes of their own formation without microbial assistance.
What is Autolysis?
These structures are found as a pair in animal cells and are responsible for constructing the cytoskeleton.
What are Centrioles?
These two qualities, and their relationship with water, are what make the lipids in our cell membrane arrange themselves into bilayers.
What are Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic?
The process in which the cell membrane enfolds tiny droplets of ECF and forms a pod around it; Cellular Drinking.
What is Pinocytosis/Bulk-Phase Endocytosis?
Chromosomes are called this when they are not dividing in the cells.
What are Chromatin?
