The process of capturing sunlight and synthesizing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
What is Photosynthesis?
100
Functions as the control center of the cell and houses the genetic material
What is the nucleus
100
The movement of molecules through the plasma membrane through the process of osmosis or diffusion (does not require energy)
What is passive transport?
100
Energy necessary to get a chemical reaction going
What is activation energy
100
The thin film between the cell walls of adjacent plant cells. Made primarily of pectin.
What is middle lamella?
200
Maintaining proper balance
What is homeostasis?
200
The power plant of the cell. Functions as the powerhouse of the cell by producing the energy the cell needs to perform its duties
What is mitochondria
200
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resides in the solution
What is hypertonic solution?
200
These two stages in aerobic cellular respiration produce equal amounts of ATP. Two ATPs
What are glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
200
The chemical energy currency of the cell
What is ATP adenosin triphosphate
300
The process of breaking down big molecules for the purpose of respiration and biosynthesis, while respiration breaks down the small molecules
What is digestion
300
Acts as a factory which translates the genetic information, or DNA from the nucleus into usable protein molecules
What is ribosomes
300
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially EQUAL to that of the cell which resides in the solution
What is isotonic solution?
300
What part of the cellular respiration process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell?
What is glycolysis
300
collapse of a walled cell's cytoplasm due to lack of water
What is plasmolysis
400
The rupturing of a cell due to excess internal pressure
What is cytolysis
400
The post office of the cell. Pancake like structure that packages and modifies the protein
What is Golgi Body or Apparatus
400
The process by which a cell engulfs foreign substances or other cells
what is Phagocytosis
400
in the process of glycolysis where the formula is
C6H12O6 --> 2C3H4O3 + 4H + energy, what is the substance 2C3H4O3 called
What is pyruvic acid
400
Organelle that stores starches or oils
What is a Leucoplast?
500
A network of fibers that holds the cells together, helps the cell keep its shape and aids in movement
What is cytoskeleton
500
The highway of the cell. Forms an interconnected network of tubules and vesicles and functions to transport protein throughout the cell
What is endoplasmic reticulum
500
The motion of cytoplasm in a cell that results in a coordinated movement of the cell's contents
What is cytoplasmic streaming
500
The active process that needs ATP. Large particles in which plasma membrane surrounds the particle and forms a vesicle then pinches off from the membrane.
What is endocytosis
500
The stage of cellular respiration produces the most energy out of the 4 stages
