Cell Structure
Selectively permeable, this is a bilayer of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins.
What is the plasma membrane?
Even though the cell is busy, this phase is charaterized by the cell "resting" from mitosis.
What is interphase?
A passive transport system in which gas, ions, particles move through the plasma membrane...
What is diffusion?
While this organelle is present in both animal and plant cells - it is much larger and more structurally significant in plant cells. It has been described as being like a water balloon.
What is a vacuole?
This pair of organelles are found in every cell that divides.
What are centrioles?
Water molecules moving from an area of high concentration through the plasma membrane to an area of low concentration..
What is osmosis?
I am the dude who is credited with the discovery of cells.
Who is Robert Hooke?
It is the gel-like substance which creates turgor pressure to keep the cell's shape intact.
What is cytoplasm?
This name is given to our genetic material before it copies itself to become a pair, during late prophase/early metaphase.
What are chromatids?
I may be filled with pigment, or toxin when I break from the golgi apparatus
What is a vessicle/vacuole?
It is the process in which substances leave the cell through a selectively permeable mebrane.
What is exocytosis?
This was the year cells were discovered.
What is 1665?
This is one of the two characteristics that distinguish a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell.
What are membrane bound organelles and a nucleus storing DNA?
This stage of mitosis is when the centromeres break the bonds they have made with pairs of chromosomes
What is anaphase?
I patrol the cell cytoplasm looking for foreign material and cell debris...
What is a lysosome?
This stage is reached during the conclusion of passive transport.
What is equilibrium/homeostasis?
It is said this is the number of cell's which could fit across the tip of a pin.
What is 10,000?
These "tiny organs" keep the cell surviving. They are numerous within the cytoplasm.
What are organelles?
This cell does not replicate. Therefore it does not go through mitosis. It gets made every six months.
What is a red blood cell?
I am made from microtubules and push against the plasma membrane in order to form multiple protruberances in order to allow the cell to move about.
What are cilia?
The state at which a cell has a high concentration of water within the plasma membrane and low concentration outwardly...
What is hypertonic?
I am about .05 microns long and am considered the body' smallest cell.
What is a sperm cell?
