Cell Organelles
I am the brain of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the movement of water molecules across a membrane from high to low concentration.
What is osmosis?
A cell spends most of its time in this phase.
What is interphase?
Lauren is always tired. Her body is not converting food to energy effectively. This organelle is not working properly.
What is mitochondria?
I break down broken and worn out parts of the cell.
What is a lysosome?
I allow things to go into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The movement of large particles out of the cell.
What is exocytosis?
The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase.
What is metaphase?
There are light green patches on the plant leaves. They are not able to capture enough light from the sun. This organelle is not working correctly.
What is the chloroplast?
I store extra food and water in the cell.
What is a vacuole?
I protect plant cells.
What is a cell wall?
The movement of molecules through the lipid bilayer without the use of energy.
What is simple diffusion?
In this phase chromatids form.
What is prophase?
Paul has cyctic fibrosis. His body cannot control the amount of salt going into and out of the cells. He coughs and wheezes when excersizing. He gets daily breathing treatments to help. This organelle is not working properly.
What is the cell membrane?
This happens after cytokinesis.
What is interphase?
I make energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The movement of molecules against the concentration gradient using ATP energy.
What is active transport?
In this phase cytoplasm divides.
What is cytokinesis?
The cell divided into two cells.
What is Mitosis?
The movement of molecules with the concentration gradient using a transport protein.
What is facilitated diffusion?
I make the protein for the cell.
What are the ribosome?
The movement of large particles into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
In this phase chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell and the nuclear membrane forms around the DNA making two nuclei.
What is telophase?
Material moved into the cell using no energy.
What is passive transport?
In this phase centrioles pull chromatids apart to pull towards each side of the cell.
What is anaphase?
