Vocabulary
This type of cell lacks a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
This part of a virus is used to attach to and inject genetic material into a host cell.
What are protein tail fibers?
This type of transport requires energy to move molecules from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.
what is active transport?
This structure is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and acts as a barrier controlling what enters and leaves the cell.
what is the cell membrane
This part of the cell controls what substances enter and leave, maintaining the internal environment.
what is cell membrane?
This type of cell contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is a eukaryote?
Viruses rely on this to reproduce since they cannot carry out life processes on their own.
what is the use of host cell resources?
This process allows large particles to enter a cell by engulfing them in a vesicle.
What is endocytosis?
This type of DNA is found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells maintain organization and compartmentalize functions by having these specialized structures surrounded by membranes.
what are membrane-bound organelles?
This is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
This method allows viruses to replicate by hijacking the biological processes of a host.
What is using host cell machinery?
This process specifically moves water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
This cellular structure is responsible for making proteins in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
what are ribosomes?
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces energy in the form of ATP.
What is Mitochondria?
This is a non-living particle that infects cells in order to reproduce.
what is a virus?
Unlike viruses, these microorganisms can reproduce on their own without needing a host.
what are bacteria?
This transport process requires energy (ATP) to move molecules across the cell membrane.
Unlike prokaryotic cells, these cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
This organelle contains the cell’s DNA and directs all cell activities.
What is the nucleus?
This cell structure controls what enters and exits the cell.
Unlike viruses, these microorganisms can reproduce on their own without needing a host.
This type of transport moves molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration without using energy.
What is passive transport?
This rigid structure found only in plant cells provides support and protection.
This organelle is responsible for packaging and distributing proteins within the cell
what is Golgi apparatus?
