This type of microscope is used to observe living organisms.
What is the light microscope?
This organelle provides the cell with the energy it needs to perform its functions and activities.
What is the mitochondria?
This fluid supports the organelles within a cell.
What is cytoplasm?
The type of diffusion that occurs when a membrane protein is required to move large molecules along with the concentration gradient.
What is facilitated diffusion?
The two types of electron microscopes.
What are transmission and scanning electron microscopes?
Large molecules that cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer must pass through these.
What are transport (membrane) proteins?
The part of the phospholipid that doesn't "like" water?
What are hydrophobic tails?
This transport is when materials are taken into cell.
What is endocytosis?
List the three statements of the cell theory.
1. All living things are made of cells. 2. Cells are the basic unit of life. 3. Cells only come from other cells.
These molecules can easily pass through the cell membrane
What are small, non-polar molecules?
This organelle is found only in animal cells. It is made of protein filaments and plays a role in cell division.
What are centrioles?
