Cell Biology
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
Golgi body
A carbohydrate made of a single sugar molecule, such as glucose
Monosaccharide
This is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
These cells are responsible for storing fat.
Adipocytes
This process refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs
Breathing
The double-layered membrane surrounding the nucleus
Nuclear envelope
This fat-related substance is produced by the liver and used to make hormones.
Cholesterol
This small organ stores bile, which helps digest fats.
Gallbladder
These cells form the structure of cartilage in the body.
Chondrocytes
This gas is primarily exchanged during respiration, moving from the lungs into the bloodstream
Oxygen
These hair-like structures help move substances across the surface of certain cells.
Cilia
A condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, leading to weak or soft bones
Rickets
The region of the small intestine where most digestion occurs.
Duodenum
These cells are involved in the formation of bone tissue.
Osteocytes
This is the flap that closes off the trachea to prevent food from entering the lungs
Epiglottis
This process involves cells becoming specialized for specific functions.
Differentiation
The term for fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter.
The type of connective tissue responsible for storing fat.
Adipose tissue
This tissue type forms the coverings of organs and cavities
Epithelial tissue
This term refers to the microscopic air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
Alveoli
The gel-like substance inside the nucleus where chromatin and nucleoli are found.
This term describes foods that contain all parts of the grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm.
Whole grains
These non-striated muscles are found in the walls of internal organs and help move substances.
Smooth muscles
These specialized cells play a role in the formation of fibrous connective tissue
Fibroblasts
These smaller branches of the bronchi further divide to bring air deeper into the lungs.
Bronchioles
