VOCABULARY
A tiny structure inside a cell that has a specific job/function for the cell.
What is an organelle?
These cells include a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What are eukaryotes?
This is the control center of the cell; directs all cell activities
What is the nucleus?
The process of molecules moving directly through the cell membrane from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
Where the cell of an unknown organism that includes mitochondria, a nucleus, chloroplasts and a cell wall would most likely be found: a. the bark of a tree b. a mushroom c. a bacteria d. a leaf
What is a leaf?
An organism that is made up of many cells.
What is multicellular?
These cells include bacteria cells and are smaller and less complex.
What are prokaryotes?
The structure that carries out the process of photosynthesis
What is a chloroplast?
The process of molecules moving across the cell membrane using proteins and traveling from low to high concentration with the use of energy.
What is active transport?
Name THREE membrane-bound organelles.
What are mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleus, golgi body, and endoplasmic reticulum.
The fluid within the plasma membrane where substances are found and where some reactions occur.
What is the cytoplasm?
These cells include a nucleus, mitochondria, a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts.
What are plant cells?
The structure that makes proteins for the cell
What is a ribosome?
The process of a cell eating other large molecules and bring them into the cell in a vesicle.
What is phagocytosis?
These are the FIVE differences between a plant and animal cell.
What are a central vacuole vs. no vacuole, a cell wall vs. no cell wall, chloroplasts vs. no chloroplasts, no lysosomes vs. lysosomes, and no centrioles vs. centrioles? (plant vs animal for each statement)
The system of membrane bound sacs that modify, store, and ship proteins and lipids.
What is the Golgi Body?
These cells have a nucleus, mitochondria, centrioles, and no cell wall.
What are animal cells?
The structure that breaks down food to create energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
When a solution contains more solute and less water than the cell.
What is a hypertonic solution?
Describe the structure of the cell membrane in regards to the arrangement of the phospholipids.
What is a phospholipid bilayer with the polar heads facing out and the nonpolar tails facing in towards each other?
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of life
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
A scientist is studying cells and discovers an unknown type of cell. Upon observing it, she determines that there is a cell wall, ribosomes, cell membrane, and cilia, but no mitochondria or nucleus. The cell is also very small. What type of cell is this?
What is a prokaryote/ bacteria cell?
The structure in a cell that builds and transports lipids to other parts of the cell.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
What is the process where water is being brought into the cell with the use of energy from low to high concentration?
A doctor accidentally adds too much solute for an IV which goes into the patients blood. This is what we would expect to happen to the red blood cells as the IV fluid mixes with the blood.
What is the blood cells will lose water and shrivel up (and die)?
