Cell Basics
These cells contain a nucleus, unlike prokaryotic cells.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the plasma (cell) membrane?
The type of transport that requires the cell to use energy.
What is active transport?
This theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from other cells.
What is the cell theory?
Bacteria reproduce asexually by this process.
What is binary fission?
These cells are smaller and simpler, with no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This organelle uses light energy to produce sugars.
What is a chloroplast?
This process uses energy to bring substances into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
These cells make up multicellular organisms.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Bacteria that can’t be killed by certain antibiotics have developed this trait.
What is antibiotic resistance?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have genetic material, a cell membrane, and this gel-like substance.
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle produces proteins.
What are ribosomes?
In a hypotonic solution, water moves this way, causing the cell to swell.
What is into the cell?
These organisms are unicellular, lack a nucleus, and reproduce by binary fission.
What are prokaryotes (bacteria)?
Viruses require this in order to reproduce.
What is a host?
These two structures are found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
What are a cell wall and chloroplasts?
This organelle stores water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates in sac-like structures.
What is a vacuole (central vacuole in plants)?
In a hypertonic salt solution, an animal cell will do this.
What is shrivel (crenate)?
According to cell theory, even primitive cells like prokaryotes can still do this.
What is carry out the functions of life?
This whip-like structure helps some cells and bacteria move.
What is a flagellum (flagella)?
This principle of cell theory explains why new cells grow to repair a scraped knee.
What is “all cells come from other cells”?
This gel-like material surrounds organelles and holds them in place.
What is cytoplasm?
A solution with equal solute concentration inside and outside the cell is called this.
What is isotonic?
These organisms can be unicellular or multicellular but always contain a nucleus.
What are eukaryotes?
True or False: Viruses only infect animals.
What is False?
