The control centre of the cell
the nucleus
Cells without a nucleus
prokaryotes?
What is the capital city of Australia?
Canberra
Organisms that consist of just one cell
unicellular?
This substance, often a vitamin or mineral, is required by enzymes to function properly
a co-factor?
This process allows water to move through the "semi permeable" membrane of the cell to balance solutes
osmosis?
This type of transport does not require energy and involves the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
passive transport?
What is the chemical symbol for gold?
Au
What happens to a protein if it is exposed to a temperature outside of its range of tolerance?
denature?
Most enzymes end with this suffix
"-ase"
Surrounds each cell of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Cell membrane
Organisms made of many cells
multicellular?
In which year did World War II end?
1945
Organelle that creates energy for the cell
mitochondria?
The phospholipid bilayer is made up of a phosphate head that is ____________ and fatty acid tails that are _________________
hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
These biological catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
enzymes?
This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose
photosynthesis?
Who is the author of Romeo and Juliet?
William Shakespeare
Which organ in the human body is primarily responsible for filtering blood?
The kidneys
This process involves the movement of large molecules into the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane.
endocytosis?
This organelle is gel like and holds organelles in the cell
cytoplasm?
When enzyme activity is the highest
the optimum
