Types of Cells
Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus?
NO
True or false: The cell membrane is flexible.
true
Which type of transport requires energy?
active transport.
This cell type contains a nucleus and organelles (such as mitochondria).
What are eukaryotic cells?
What is the cell membrane made of? (The name of the lipid)
phospholipids
This organelle directs cell processes storing DNA.
What is the nucleus?
These are small organelles used to transport materials.
vesicles
The type of transport that occurs when molecules move with the concentration gradient without energy.
passive transport
True or False: Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes.
true
Large molecules that cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer must pass through these.
proteins
This organelle is covered in tiny dots called ribosomes. It helps manufacture proteins.
rough endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle is the hard outer layer of a plant cell.
a cell wall
Are animal cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
eukaryotic
The part of the phospholipid that 'loves' water
the hydrophilic head
This organelle is like Amazon for the cell. It sorts, packages, and ships proteins
golgi apparatus
This organelle stores water and nutrients for the cell
Vacuole
Define a concentration gradient.
an area of high concentration on one side of the cell, and an area of low concentration on the other side of the cell.
This type of cell is eukaryotic and contains a chloroplast, nucleus, and cell wall.
A plant cell
This term means that the cell membrane allows some things to enter/leave the cell, and blocks other things from doing so.
semi-permeable or selective permeability
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
to synthesize fats, break down drugs and alcohol, and make hormones.
What is the function of the chloroplast?
to carry out photosynthesis in plant cells.
Which term means that a cell is taking in very large molecules.
endocytosis
