Organelle Office
This large organelle acts as the control center of the cell, containing the cells genetic material
Nucleus
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without using energy
Diffusion
The process used by plants and some other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose
Photosynthesis
Unlike animal cells, plant cells have this rigid outer layer that provides structural support
Cell wall
This English scientist was the first to observe "cells" in a piece of cork in 1665, naming them after monastery rooms
Known as the "powerhouse", this organelle is the site of cellular respiration and ATP production
Mitochondria
The specific term for the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
The main energy carrying molecule produced during cellular respiration that powers most cellular work
ATP
This large, central organelle in plant cells stores water, nutrients, and waste.
Central vacuole/ or vacuole
This German scientist used newer microscopes to observe plant cells and their structures
This network of tubes and sacs is responsible for building proteins and lipids, it can be rough or smooth
Endoplasmic reticulum
This type of transport requires the cell to use energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient
Active transport
This is the primary reactant, a simple sugar that is broken down during cellular respiration
glucose
The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that prokaryotes lack this membrane-bound structure
Nucleus
The first tenet of cell theory states that all of these are composed of cells
Living things/ organisms
This organelle acts like a post office, modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for transport
Golgi body/golgi complex/golgi apparatus
This process by which a cell takes in large particles by engulfing them with its cell membrane
Endocytosis
The three products of cellular respiration are ATP, water and this gas that we exhale
Carbon dioxide
Prokayotics/ Prokaryotes
The second tenet of cell theory states that the cell is the basic unit of this in all organisms
structure and function
Filled with digestive enzymes, this small organelle breaks down waste, old cell parts, and foreign invaders
Lysosomes
The two types of transports needed to perform facilitated diffusion
Channel Transport and Carrier transport
The green pigment found in chloroplasts that is essential for photosynthesis because it absorbs light energy
Chlorophyll
Animal cells have centrioles, which aid in cell division, while plant cells have these two organelles that animal cells lack
cell wall and chloroplasts
The third tenet of cell theory, "Omnis cellula e cellula" was contributed by this person and states that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
