Cell Structure
The difference between the rough ER and the smooth ER
What is the rough ER has ribosomes, the smooth ER doesn't?
The protein making portions of the cell found in all cells
What is the ribosome?
The bilayer of the cell membrane is composed of these
What are phospholipids?
The reactants of photosynthesis
Used in plant cells to maintain shape and storage of materials.
What is the central vacuole?
Packages and transports proteins for use inside or outside the cell
What is the golgi apparatus?
Type of transport that moves substances against the concentration gradient
What is active transport?
The type of respiration that requires oxygen and produces more ATP
What is aerobic?
The cell walls of plants are made of this
What is cellulose?
Pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into sugars.
What is chlorophyll?
A solution that has a HIGHER concentration of materials on the OUTSIDE of the cell
What is a hypertonic?
Occurs when no oxygen is present and produces substances such as lactic acid
What is fermentation?
The tail found on some cells that provides mobility.
What is a flagella?
Contains enzymes to digest worn out organelles
What is a lysosome?
Type of diffusion that doesn't require energy and uses a protein channel
What is facilitated diffusion?
What do the letters ATP represent?
What is adenosine triphosphate?
Organelle that undergoes cellular respiration and provides energy
What is the mitochondria?
Supports the cell and gives it its shape
What is a cytoskeleton?
Active transport where a cell engulfs a vesicle and releases its contents into the cell
What is endocytosis?
The part of the photosynthesis reaction that CO2 enter the chloroplast
What is the light-independent reaction?
