Picture This
100
Mighty, yet small, this kidney bean shaped powerhouse is responsible for converting glucose into useable energy in the form of ATP
What is the mitochondria
100
This type of cell lives in a studio apartment with no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles (apparently no interest in interior decorating)
What is a prokaryotic cell
100
The lungs operate the world's laziest transportation service. Oxygen gets from the alveoli into the blood using this process, which requires no ATP, no protein, and no supervision
What is simple diffusion
100
This is the helicopter parent of internal biology, constantly checking whether your temperature, pH, and glucose levels are "behaving" themselves
What is homeostasis
100
What is the phosphate head
200
In addition to a cell wall, plant cells have these large water storage pouches that provide structure for the boneless cells
What is vacuoles
200
This type of transport proudly moves substances down their concentration gradient and refuses to pay ATP because "the gradient is doing all the work."
What is passive transport
200
In 1590, the first one of these was invented that led to the major discoveries of cell theory.
What is the light microscope
200
The celery didn't shrink because the salt entered its cells, but rather because water exited like fans fleeing a stadium after a bad game. Also called what cellular transport process?
What is osmosis
300
If cells had resumes, this organelle would list "dissolves substances and holds all other organelles in place" under skills
What is the cytoplasm
300
These membrane proteins are the nightclub bouncers of the cell, allowing only large or polar molecules to enter during facilitated diffusion
What is channel proteins
400
Like it's nickname "the post office of the cell" suggests, the Golgi Apparatus does what?
What is moves molecules out of the cell
400
Before osmosis happens, the cell's group chat says, "All water molecules move to the outside of the cell. There is an abundance of solute out there!" The cell is in what type of solution?
What is hypertonic solution
400
Without this process, cells would accumulate and waste-filled vesicles like a teenager whose closet hasn't been cleaned in years
What is exocytosis
400
What is a transport protein

I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH
I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH (JUST WHIP IT)
I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH
This organelle is quite stylish and helps cells move in their liquid surroundings
What is the flagella
500
The end is near... At least for diffusion and osmosis, this is the result of both those processes
What is equilibrium
500
A cell with thousands of ribosomes is basically the biological equivalent of a construction company with a warehouse full of tools, all dedicated to building what type of molecules?
What are proteins
