Organelles
This organelle acts as the "gate-keeper" of the cell, choosing what to let in/out.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is Mitochondria?
What is the basic unit of structure and function in life?
What are cells?
This is needed for all types of active transport (low to high concentration).
What is energy?
The diffusion of water across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
The "Blood" of the cell, a watery, jelly-like fluid.
What is the Cytoplasm?
The "highway" of the cell, transports substances inside the cell (intracellular).
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?
What is a group of similar cells working together to perform the same function?
What is a tissue?
This molecule provides energy for cells to perform active transport.
What is ATP?
A solution with the same salt concentration as a cell. No net movement of water in/out.
What is isotonic?
These 3 organelles are found in all organisms.
What are ribosomes, cytoplasm and cell membrane?
The "post-office" of the cell, packages materials for export (out).
What is the Golgi Bodies/Apparatus?
A group of structurally distinct tissues working together.
What is an organ?
An integral protein that moves molecules against the gradient (from low concentration to high concentration).
What is a cell pump?
Diffusion across a membrane through a protein channel
What is a facilitated diffusion?
This organelle synthesizes proteins.
What is the ribosome?
This organelle is surrounded by a double-membrane (4 layers).
What is the nucleus?
The three parts of the cell theory.
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in life.
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
The direction of molecules in active transport.
What is from low to high concentration?
A solution with a lower concentration of salt than a cell.
What is a hypotonic solution?
This organelle is a single whip-like motor used to move the cell forward.
What is the flagellum?
This organelle was once a free-living organism.
What is the mitochondria?
Cardiovascular, Nervous and Digestive are all examples of these.
What are organ systems?
What are the Golgi Bodies/Apparatus?
This is what happens when a cell is in a very salty (hypertonic) solution.
