Cell Basics
The basic unit of life
The Cell!
The organelle that is primarily responsible for cell transport and maintaining equilibrium in the cell
The cell membrane
Gel-like substance that keeps all organelles in place in a cell.
cytoplasm
Energy that is absorbed for photosynthesis
Sunlight!
The gatekeeper of the cell that keeps the cell happy
Cell membrane
Only cells with a nucleus can make up multicellular organisms. (True or False)
True
Solute particles flowing from an area with a high concentration of that solute to an area with a lower concentrations of that solute.
What is diffusion?
Network within a cell that acts like a packaging center, shipping/receiving substances inside and outside of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
Which types of life perform photosynthesis? (Name 3)
Bacteria, Algae, Plants
Remodels and recycles old cell parts like a resale bike shop
Lysosome
Name the 3 principles of cell theory.
1. all cells come from other living cells
2. all organisms have one or more cells
3. All life is made up of cells
The movement of water across a membrane from an area with lots of water to little water, OR little solute to lots of solute.
What is osmosis?
Organelle responsible for producing proteins.
Ribosomes
Organelle that provides the cell with energy, also called ATP.
What are mitochondria?
I've been accused of being uptight and stiff, but when given pressure from water, I provide a lot of structure
Cell Wall
Which scientist is credited for discovering "animalcules" with his homemade microscope?
Robert Hooke
What will happen to a cell if it is in an environment that has more of a concentration of solutes than inside the cell?
It will shrink and shrivel, or get smaller
Responsible for producing ribosomes in the cell
nucleolus
The products of the chemical reaction of photosynthesis
Glucose (Sugar) and Oxygen
Sometimes I can be in the cleaning mood and sometimes I can be rough, but no matter what part I'm feeling, I'm always making things that I can share around the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Name three differences between and animal and a plant cell.
Plant cells contain: Cell Wall, Central Vacuole, Chloroplasts
Plant perform photosynthesis/ produce own food
Animals contain multiple vacuoles
When there is more solute inside the cell, where will the water concentration flow to?
into the cell
The Organelle considered to be the genetic material of the cell contained in the nucleus of the cell
Chromatin (Chromosomes)
The reactants used to perform cellular respiration
Glucose and Oxygen
I make the things that make the cell work. I come from the absolute center of the cell
Ribosome
