CELL BASICS
The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
The place on the microscope where the specimen is placed.
What is the stage?
This organelle functions to provide structure and facilitate movement.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This is when the cell doesn't pass a checkpoint and goes through cell 'self-suicide'
What is apoptosis?
In G1, G2 this majority of this happens.
What is growth?
The 3 tenants of the Cell Theory.
The cell is the basic unit of life.
All cells come from pre-existing cells.
All organisms are composed of cells.
The part which adjust the amount of light passing through the specimen.
What is the diapragm?
A fluid inside the cell that houses other organelles in the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
*DAILY DOUBLE*
Water-loving and Water-fearing are called these and make up this structure. (Its scientific name)
What are hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
Cells that divide too frequently and uncontrollably
What is cancer?
These types of cells make up all plant and animal cells.
What are eukaryotic cells?
*DAILY DOUBLE*
what is 2mm?
Proteins are essential for various cell functions. This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
This process involves water moving through a semi-permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
The final stage of mitosis
What is telophase?
These are the earliest and most rudimentary forms of life.
What are Prokaryotic cells?
The name of the lens you look through.
What is the ocular lens?
The location for cellular respiration.
What is mitochondria?
The process of Cancer cells leaving the original location, passing through the bloodstream, and sprouting new trouble areas downstream.
What is metastasis?
In this phase, the spindle fibers attach to the centrioles.
What is prophase?
What are 3 things plant cells possess that animal cells do not?
What are chloroplast, cell wall, and vacuole?
The type of microscopes we use in this class.
What is the compound microscope?
This organelle is filled with many digestive enzymes.
What is lysosome?
The is the term used when cancer cells no longer stop growing when they fill their allotted space.
What is loss of contact inhibition?
List the cell cycle
What are the interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis?
