Tiny little dots in the cell that originate from another organelle, these are protein-making factories.
What are ribosomes?
200
Within the cell membrane are embedded these passageways for larger, more complex molecules to pass through.
What are protein channels?
200
Water, table salt, and even the chlorine in your pool are compounds that do not contain Carbon, and therefore can be considered __________.
What is inorganic.
200
Sugar is mixed in water. Sugar can be considered a ________, one of the two substances you need to create a solution.
What is a solute?
200
Our bodies may have many substances in them, but they are predominantly made up of this compound.
What is water?
300
Made of a fiber rich substance called cellulose, these give plant cells their rigid, box-like structure.
What is the cell wall?
300
Sometimes, special services are required to shuttle molecules through the cell membrane. This "service" attaches iself to the cell membrane to push molecules that are LOW in concentration into or out of the cell.
What is the transport protein?

What is diffusion?
400
A series of passageways through which ribosomes and other proteins and organelles pass through.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
400
The lipid part of the cell membrane loves water, and therefore can be considered
What is hydrophilic?

Animal cells have a few, but the plant cell has one giant one of these... it stores food, waste, and other products
What is the vacuole?
500
The tail part of the cell membrane hates water, and can therefore be called
What is hydrophobic?
