What is Osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane.
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food using energy from the sun.
What is the function of the nucleus?
The nucleus directs the cell's activities and stores the genetic material (DNA).
I’m thick and like jelly. I fill up every cell...
Cytoplasm
What are all living things made up of?
Made of cells.
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the use of energy.
What is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms convert food into ATP energy.
What organelle is involved in energy production?
The mitochondria are involved in converting food into ATP energy.
I am the powerhouse of the cell...
Mitochondria
What are the four needs of living things?
Food, Water, Shelter, and Air
What is "selectively permeable?"
Selectively permeable means that the cell membrane is picky about what substances can enter or exit the cell.
What is endocytosis?
Endocytosis is when part of the cell membrane surrounds materials and carries them into the cell.
What are two organelles found in plant cells?
Chloroplasts and the cell wall are two organelles found in plant cells.

Vacuole
What are the the levels of organization?
Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism.
What is homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the ability of living things to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is active transport?
Active transport is the movement of materials against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.
What is the job of the ribosome?
Ribosomes make proteins, which are building blocks of cells and the organelles within them.

Cell Membrane
What are the three parts of the cell theory?
What are prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells contain both a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
How are osmosis and diffusion similar?
Both involve moving materials from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the use of energy.
What is the function of the cell wall?
The cell wall provides support and structure to plant cells.
I transport protiens and other materials throughout the whole cell...

What is passed down through reproduction to offspring?
Genetic Material (DNA)
