Cell Biology
Give me 2 examples of organ SYSTEMS
nervous system, cardiovascular system, muscular system, digestive system
Define organelle
What is structures inside a cell that have a specific role/function?
This organelle contains the genetic information in the cell
What is the nucleus?
The three types of passive transport
What is diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis?
Archaea and _____ are 2 examples of prokaryotes
What is bacteria?
Some organisms like bacteria consist of only ___________ cell, while other organisms, like humans, consist of __________________ of cells.
one cell, many cells
The difference between smooth and rough ER
What is make lipids vs make proteins?
This controls what enters and exits the cell
What is the cell membrane?
The movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration is this type of transport
What is active transport?
The location of DNA in bacteria
What is the nucleoid region?
The tail-like structure in bacteria is called
What is flagella?
Name 2 functions of the cell membrane
What is controls what enters and exit the cell and surrounds the cytoplasm?
This is a gel-like fluid made of water, enzymes, and nutrients found all over the cytoplasm
What is the cytoplasm?
The movement of small molecules freely across the cell membrane
What is diffusion?
Organelle that carries out photosynthesis in plants
What is the chloroplast?
The organelle that powers the cell
What is the mitochondria?
larger size and longer life are an advantage of what type of cell?
what is eukaryotic cells?
This organelle packages and secretes proteins
What is the Golgi complex/apparatus?
The type of transport that moves larger molecules from high to low concentration
What is facilitated diffusion?
This is an organelle in plants that stores water and takes up most of the plant's volume
What is the central vacuole?
Cells can differ in ____________ and size, and the different shapes usually means they have different _______________________
2 differences between plants and animal cells
What is plants are
1. larger
2. have chloroplasts
3. have vacuoles
4. have a cell wall
Two organelles that are involved in protein production are
What are the Golgi apparatis and rough ER?
The difference in concentration between the high and low concentration areas
What is concentration gradient?
3 structures shared between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are:
What is
1. ribosomes
2. cell membrane
3. cytoplasm
4. DNA
