Cells contain many of these organelles that are responsible for making proteins for the cell.
What are ribosomes?
100
A group of similar cells that work together to perform a function.
What is a tissue?
100
Provides protection and support to the cell membrane in plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
100
The process used to produce ATP (energy) using oxygen and glucose; releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
What is cellular respiration?
100
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is diffusion?
200
These organelles break down food molecules to produce energy. They are the powerhouse of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
200
Anything that can exist independently or live on its own.
What is an organism?
200
Digest food particles, wastes, cell parts and foreign invaders. This organelle is the clean-up crew of the cell.
What are lysosomes?
200
The process by which plants capture light energy from the sun and convert it into sugar?
What is photosynthesis?
200
The diffusion of water across the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
300
This organelle is the control center of the cell, and is where DNA is stored.
What is the nucleus?
300
A group of tissues that work together.
What is an organ?
300
This organelle provides storage for food, water and wastes.
What is a vacuole?
300
Nuclear division in eukaryotic cells where a cell receives a copy of the original chromosomes.
What is mitosis?
300
The movement of particles through proteins in the cell membrane against the direction of diffusion; requires cells to use energy.
What is active transport?
400
This organelle is only found in plant cells, and contains chlorophyll that traps sunlight to make food for plants.
What is chloroplasts?
400
A group of organs that work together?
What is an organ system?
400
Passageways that transport proteins, make lipids, and break down harmful substances. This organelle is the highway of the cell.
What is the ER/endoplasmic reticulum?
400
Simple cell division in which one cell splits into two; used by bacteria.
What is binary fission?
400
The diffusion of particles through protein channels in the cell membrane from areas where their concentration is high to areas where the concentration is low.
What is passive transport?
500
This organelle surrounds all cells and keeps the cytoplasm inside. It is the gateway to the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
500
The basic unit of life in all living things.
What is a cell?
500
This organelle packages and transports materials out of the cell. It is known as the FedEx of the cell.
What are Golgi bodies?
500
The breakdown of sugars to make ATP (energy) in the absence of oxygen.
What is fermentation?
500
The process used to remove large particles from a cell; during this process the vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and the particles are released into their environment.
