Organelles
Often called the powerhouse of the cell, this organelle has its own DNA.
What is the mitochondria?
Plants have one large version, while animals tend to have several small versions of this organelle.
What is a vacuole?
Cell membranes exhibit this characteristic, which allows only certain molecules to pass through.
What is selective permeability?
Small nonpolar molecules usually pass through the cell membrane easily through passive transport such as diffusion. Transport that involves large polar molecules is known as this type of transportation.
What is active transport?

Who are the Supersonics?
Like the teacher in the classroom, this organelle contains all the instructions for cell functionality.
What is the nucleus?
This organelle is instrumental in facilitating both the recycling of organic materials and programmed cell death.
What is a lysosome?
The cell membrane is made of many different parts, and is very flexible - even reforming after being pierced. This has been deemed the ____ ____ model.
What is the fluid mosaic?
This most famous type of transport protein helps to move Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell using ATP.
What is the Sodium-Potassium pump?
In this movie, the lead character makes a candle out of his earwax, and turns a frog into a balloon.
What is Shrek?
This organelle synthesizes proteins, can be found all throughout the cell, and is made of rRNA and proteins.
What is the ribosome?
A membrane-bound structure that consists of a series of flattened membrane sacs. It is involved in the folding and chemical modification of proteins.
Golgi apparatus
Carbohydrates form distinctive cellular markers that allow cells to recognize each other and differentiate between body cells and foreign cells. Whether binding with proteins or lipids, they share the prefix...
What is glyco?
When a molecule being transported is forcibly moved from an area where there is little of the molecule to an area where there is a lot of the molecule, it is moving against this.

What is a vesicle?
In order to keep the phospholipids from drifting apart or becoming too compact, this type of lipid hated by Cheerios fans minimizes the effects of temperature on fluidity.

What is Redwall?
This organelle has a double outer membrane, and contains thylakoids and stroma.
What is the chloroplast?
Although it may look like a churro, this organelle is only sweet in that it helps your cells divide by organizing microtubules.
What is the centriole?
These proteins embedded in the membrane share their name with what you use to find the area under a curve of a graph.
What are integral proteins?
The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of cells by osmosis is known as its tonicity. If a cell were to have net water flow out of itself into the solution, then this solution would be...
