Functions
This part of the cell is like the brain of the cell. It carries out all the functions of the cell.
What is the Nucleus?
What is diffusion?
This part of the cell is where photosynthesis takes place and it is only found in plant cells.
What is the chloroplasts?
The big round part of the cell that looks like a ball.
What is the nucleus?
something that is made up of only one cell
This part of the cell is only found in plant cells and is responsible for protecting the cell.
What is the cell wall?
The process of a substance travelling from high concentration to low concentration across a membrane.
Osmosis
This part of the cell is responsible for transporting substances throughout the cell through little tubes.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
Small kidney bean shaped parts of the cell. Some cells have more if they have more energy to produce.
What is the mitochondria?
Something that is made up of many cells.
What is multicellular?
This part of the cell is a jelly-like substance and it helps give the cell its shape
The process of substances travelling from low concentration to high concentration across a membrane. This requires energy.
What is active transport?
This part of the cell is responsible for storing excess food, water, and oxygen.
What is the vacuoles?
A thin layer that surround both kinds of cells.
What is the cell membrane?
All living things are made of cells, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.
What is the cell theory?
This part of the cell controls what goes in and out of the cell. It is found in both plant and animal cells.
What is the cell membrane?
A membrane that allows only certain substances to cross it.
What is a selectively permeable membrane?
This part of the cell is like a tail and it helps some cells move.
What is the flagellum?
The part of the cell that looks like a maze with coiled up tubes and is responsible for transporting things throughout the cell.
An instrument used to see a cell.
What is a microscope?
This part of the cell is responsible for making energy
What is the mitochondria?
What is an impermeable membrane?
This part of the cell makes proteins for the cell to use.
What are the ribosomes?
The part of the cell that looks like a big bubble and is used for storage.
What is the vacuole?
What are the characteristics of living things?
all living things are composed of cells. living things reproduce, grow, and repair. All living things require energy. living things respond to the environment. living things have a life span. Living things produce wastes.
