Organelles
Cells contain many of these organelles that are responsible for making proteins for the cell.
What are ribosomes?
The cell theory states that new cells come from these.
What is other cells?
Provides protection and support to the cell membrane in plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
The process used to produce ATP (energy) using oxygen and glucose; releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
What is cellular respiration?
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is diffusion?
This is used for long term energy storage in animals and cell membranes.
What is a lipid?
These organelles break down food molecules to produce energy.
What are mitochondria?
The DNA is in the cytoplasm in these cells.
What is a prokaryote?
Organelle is formed by the cell wall when taking in macromolecules or when pushing them back out of the cell.
What are vesicles?
The process by which plants capture light energy from the sun and convert it into sugar?
What is photosynthesis?
The diffusion of water across the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
This macromolecule breaks down easily into sugars.
What is carbohydrate?
This organelle is the control center of the cell, and is where DNA is stored.
What is the nucleus?
Animal cells, plant cells, and fungi cells are all this type.
What is an eukaryote?
This organelle provides storage for food, water and wastes. Can be used to differentiate a plant cell from an animal cell.
What is a vacuole?
The mitochondria needs glucose and this to produce ATP?
What is oxygen?
The movement of particles through proteins in the cell membrane against the direction of diffusion; requires cells to use energy.
What is active transport?
This macromolecule is used for long term storage.
What is a lipid?
This organelle is only found in plant cells, and contains chlorophyll that traps sunlight to make food for plants.
What is chloroplasts?
Cell theory states that the minimum number of cells an organism can have is...
What is one?
The presence of chloroplasts, a cell wall, and a large this organelle can be used to determine that a cell is a plant cell.
What is a vacuole?
Carbon dioxide, ATP, and this are products of aerobic cellular respiration.
What is water?
The diffusion of particles through protein channels in the cell membrane from areas where their concentration is high to areas where the concentration is low.
What is passive transport?
This macromolecule is found in every cell in a central location.
What is a nucleic acid?
This organelle surrounds all cells and keeps the cytoplasm inside.
What is the cell membrane?
The basic unit of life in all living things.
What is a cell?
This organelle creates structure for the cell and holds some organelles in place.
What is the cytoskeleton?
The breakdown of sugars to make ATP (energy) in the absence of oxygen.
What is fermentation?
The process used to remove large particles from a cell; during this process the vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and the particles are released into their environment.
What is exocytosis?
This macromolecule is found in every cell in many locations. There maybe a lot of it in some cells and very little in others.
What is protein?
