Cell City
This organelle is the "powerhouse of the cell" because it makes ATP
Mitochondria
Active transport requires a carrier protein and this energy molecule
ATP
There are four types of tissues in the human body: muscle tissue, nervous tissue, connective tissue, and ____.
epithelial tissue
This is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows and duplicates its contents
Interphase
Directional term meaning below another part: the stomach is this relative to the heart
inferior
This organelle refines, packages, and ships proteins arriving from the rough ER
Golgi apparatus
Called "cell eating", it is the process of taking in solid particles, which lysosomes then digest
phagocytosis
This is a connective tissue cell located near blood vessels that releases heparin and histamine
The is the subphase of interphase when DNA is replicated
S phase
Directional term meaning toward the front, also called ventral: the sternum is on this surface
anterior
This structure inside the nucleus is made of RNA and protein and is the site of ribosome production
nucleolus
This is a passive process in which pressure (like blood pressure) forces molecules through a membrane
filtration
A type of epithelium that stretches and returns to size and lines the urinary bladder and ureters
transitional epithelium
This is the first stage of mitosis: chromosomes condense, centrioles migrate to opposite poles, the nuclear membrane disassembles
prophase
Directional term meaning toward the side, away from the midline: the ears are this to the nose
lateral
This organelle carries enzymes that digest debris, toxins, and worn-out cell parts
lysosomes
This is what happens to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution
gains water and swells
This type of cartilage is found in intervertebral discs and the knee and is a good shock absorber
fibrocartilage
This is a division of the cytoplasm, in which a cleavage furrow pinches the two cells apart
cytokinesis
Directional term meaning farther from the point of attachment to the trunk: the wrist is this to the elbow
distal
This is a nonmembranous structure made of two hollow cylinders that distributes chromosomes during cell division
centrosome, made of centrioles
A type of endocytosis in which very specific ligands bind membrane receptors before a vesicle forms
receptor-mediated endocytosis
This is a type of membrane that line tubes and cavities, opens to the outside, and contain goblet cells
mucous membrane
This type of cell created from a stem cell is able to specialize
progenitor cell
Term for structures on opposite sides of the body, as opposed to ipsilateral
contralateral
