Organelles
Which organelles are responsible for making proteins for the cell?
ribosomes
What is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a function?
a tissue
What organelle provides protection and support to the cell membrane in plant cells?
the cell wall
What process is used to produce energy (ATP) using oxygen and glucose and releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products?
cellular respiration
What is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
diffusion
Which organelles break down glucose molecules to produce energy? (They are the powerhouse of the cell.)
mitochondria
What is another word for a living thing?
an organism
What process takes place in the ribosomes?
protein synthesis
What do plants convert into glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide and water
What is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane?
osmosis
Which organelle is the control center of the cell and is where DNA is stored?
nucleus
What is a group of tissues that work together?
an organ
What organelle provides storage for food and water?
a vacuole
What is another word for cell division?
mitosis
What is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration?
active transport
Which organelle is only found in plant cells and is the site of photosynthesis by which plants can make their own food?
chloroplasts
What is a group of organs that work together?
an organ system (or a body system)
What process takes place in the mitochondria?
cellular respiration
What do plants release through photosynthesis?
Oxygen
Does active transport use ATP?
yes
Which organelle surrounds all cells, keeps the cytoplasm inside, and lets molecules in and out of the cell?
the cell membrane
What is the basic unit of life in all living things?
a cell
What process takes place in the chloroplasts?
photosynthesis
What is the product of mitosis?
2 daughter cells with the same DNA
Does diffusion use ATP?
no
