Cell Theory & Discoveries
The cell is the smallest structural and functional part of these.
What are organisms?
It is what a bacterial cell lacking a nucleus would be termed.
What is prokaryotic?
This organelle is selectively permeable.
What is the cell membrane?
It is a "fortress" on the outside of plant cells.
What is cell wall?
It's a water pump that keeps Protists from bursting.
What is a contractile vacuole?
These molecules have a head and two tails.
What are phospholipids?
Process where a substance in general, wants to move from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
This solution would cause red blood cells to swell and possibly burst.
What is hypotonic?
This most important tool of biology means "look at very small".
What is a microscope?
All of these cells are characterized by having a nucleus.
What are eukaryotic cells.
This organelle is like a Zip-Lock bag because it can store food.
What is a vacuole?
You can find it in plants, but not animals, and it is a maker of sugar.
What is a chloroplast?
(Not chlorophyll)
Named after this man with a first name, Camillo, he discovered an apparatus.
Who is Golgi, or Who is Camillo Golgi?
This term describes the phospholipid tails and how they fear water.
What is hydrophobic?
The diffusion of water.
What is osmosis?
A solution that has the same solute content as the cell's cytoplasm.
What is isotonic?
The theory stating the cell is the basic unit of life, structure, function and reproduction from existing cells.
What is the Cell Theory?
It's the only kingdom that does not have cells possessing cell walls.
What is the animal kingdom?
It is the "home" of DNA.
What is the nucleus?
If this organelle could read, it might enjoy Reader's Digest magazine.
What is a lysosome?
Producer of ATP in most organisms on earth.
What is the mitochondrion?
This lipid substance helps maintain a membrane's flexibility.
What is cholesterol?
Using ATP, this process moves a substance from low to high.
What is active transport?
You eat something salty and get thirsty. This happens because what you ate was ______________ compared to your cheek cells.
What is hypertonic?
This zoologist stated that all animals were made of cells.
Who is Theodore Schwann?
A white blood cell can be called this for having two or more nuclei.
What is multinucleate?
These organelles construct protein from codons and amino acids.
What are ribosomes?
Found in pairs, it helps cells divide, but only in animal cells.
What are centrioles?
Name the two locomotive structures often found in pond Protists such as Paramecium and Euglena.
What are cilia and flagella?
The current model of membrane structure.
What is fluid mosaic?
It happens when a membrane protein assists a substance from high to low concentration.
What is facilitated diffusion?
The IV bag used to give hospital patients vital fluids is this kind of solution.
What is isotonic?
This botanist stated that all plants were made of cells.
Who is Matthias Schleiden?
It is what a red blood cell would be called for not possessing a nucleus.
What is enucleate?
This organelle keeps pumping out ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
It is a cytoplasmic transport organelle that translates to mean "Little Net" in Latin.
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
It gives animal cells support.
What is cytoskeleton?
It is a transport protein than opens on one end, closes, and then opens on the other end.
What is a gated or carrier protein?
It occurs when motion continues when a system is in a steady state of balance.
What is dynamic equilibrium?
A tank has a membrane in the middle. If the left side is 30% salt and the right, 70% salt, in which way (left or right) will water move AND what will the final percentages be?
What is right and 50/50%?
