The study of cells

Cytology 


100

The ability to release energy from the breakdown of food molecules

Respiration

100

The ability to maintain internal stability, also known as regulation

Homeostasis

100

Their ability to take in nutrients , this includes absorption, which is the ability to bring dissolve materials into the cell

Ingestion

100

The ability to distribute or circulate molecules from one part of a cell to another

Transport

200

The ability to break food or nutrients down in the simpler form by hydrolysis or with the help of enzymes, so it can be utilized

Digestion

200

Their ability to combine simple compounds into complex molecules

Synthesis/biosynthesis

200

The ability to release biosynthesized  substances

Secretion

200

The ability to remove nonsoluble, and digested waste from the cell

Egestion

200

Their ability to produce more cells

Reproduction

300

The ability to remove soluble metabolic waste from the cell?

Excretion

300

A tiny cellular structure that carries out specific function necessary for the cell to survive

Organelle

300

Is a jelly like fluid in which the organelles are suspended

Cytoplasm

300

Non membrane bound, organelles, responsible for protein synthesis

Ribosomes

300

This semi permeable membrane between the cell contents and cells surroundings

Plasma membrane

400

Double membrane bound, organelles in which neutrons are converted to energy

Mitochondria

400

Plastids containing the green pigments, chlorophyll, used in photosynthesis

Chloroplasts

400

A network of fiber that holds the sell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids and movement

Cytoskeleton

400

A model proposing that the plasma membrane is composed of mosaic of components that are free to move fluidly within plane of the membrane

Fluid mosaic model

400

A membrane that allows some molecules to pass through, but there’s not allow other molecules to pass through

Semipermeable membrane

500

A lipid in which one of the fatty acid molecules has been replaced by a molecule that contains a hydrophilic phosphate group

Phospholipid

500

Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane without the need for energy input

Passive transport

500

The random motion of molecules from an area of high concentration area of low concentration until it’s concentration becomes equal throughout the area

Diffusion

500

Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane aided by a process that requires energy input

Active transport

500

Diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to low water concentration

Osmosis
