This organelle captures sunlight energy and is found only in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
200
In cellular respiration, energy is released by a molecule known as _____.
What is ATP?
200
I have ribosomes stuck all over me. I take the proteins that are made and help to transport them to where they are needed in the cell.
What is the Rough ER?
300
The internal(inner) environment remains constant despite any changes in the external(outer) environment. In short, balance is maintained.
What is homeostasis?
300
The polar head of a phospholipid is ____________. (Hint: Loves water.)
What is hydrophilic?
300
This organelle sorts, modifies, and packages proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus (body)?
300
Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, takes place in the ___________.
What is cytoplasm?
300
I give the cell its shape and help with movement.
What is the cytoskeleton?
400
All the chemical reactions that build up or break down to create or release energy.
What is metabolism?
400
The cell membrane is said to be ____-____________ because it controls what substances can enter and leave the cell.
What is semi-permeable?
400
I'm like a USB drive, or storage room for the cell. I hold a lot of materials like water, salts, and proteins. I'm big in the plant and tiny in the animal cell.
What is the vacuole (central vacuole in plants)?
400
The Kreb's Cycle, which takes place in the ______________, is where the second step of cellular respiration takes place. A LOT of energy is released here.
What is mitochondria?
400
I'm tough and rigid! I surround the cell membrane.
What is the cell wall?
500
As a group, organisms tend to change over time. This "change over time" is also called ____________.
What is evolution?
500
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion all transport materials without the use of energy. This type of transport is also called ________.
What is passive transport?
500
I'm only found in animal cells and I organize cell division.
What is the centriole?
500
The two reactants, or materials needed for cellular respiration are ________ and _______; the three products, or materials produced as a result are _______, _______, and _______.
What are glucose & oxygen? What are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP?
500
Active transport is different from passive transport because it requires the USE OF ENERGY and molecules move from an area of _______ to _______ concentration with the use of a protein channel.
