Cell Parts
This cell organelle houses the genetic information for the cell
What is the nucleus?
Compound produced by plants during photosynthesis and used for quick energy
What are carbohydrates?
This is the movement of water across a membrane
What is osmosis?
An organism containing genes from another organism
Without this cell part, plant cells would not have any food
What is a chloroplast?
Used for insulation, energy storage, and protections this organic compound is composed of fatty acid monomers
What are lipids?
This process produces new identical body cells
What is mitosis?
A relationship between 2 organisms where one organism kills another for nutrition
What is a predator/prey relationship?
These small cell organelles are the site of protein production
What are ribosomes?
Constructed of amino acids this compound is used for structure and function
What are proteins?
Gametes with half the number of chromosomes (haploid) are made by this process
What is meiosis?
The runoff of this can cause algae blooms and fish kills
What is nitrogen?
This cell part is most common on bacteria cells, it is most often described as a long, tail-like structure
What is a flagella?
All eukaryotes have this organic molecules in their nucleus
What are nucleic acids?
ATP is used in this process that move molecules from low concentration to high concentration
What is active transport?
This cycle relies on photosynthesis and respiration as the base
What is the carbon cycle?
Wastes are ejected from cells using this cell part when it squeezes the waste out
These molecules speed up chemical reactions but they work best in specific conditions
What are enzymes?
During meiosis chromosomes will go through this process which ultimately increases genetic variation
What is crossing over?
After sun exposure skin color can become darker, this is due to this (what causes it)
What is activation of different genes?
