Cell parts
Tiny projections on the surface of some cells
Microvilli
The building blocks of lipids
Triglycerides (and/or glycerol)
The lining, covering, and glandular body tissue
Epithelial tissue
Diffusion or passive transport of water across a cell membrane
Osmosis
What you'd want a tattoo of in jail
What are mitochondria?
Impermeable junctions; bind cells into leak-proof sheets
Tight junctions
The building blocks of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
Tissue that’s commonly called “fat”
Adipose tissue
The substance that dissolves in a solution. Sugar, for example.
Solute
Encloses the cell contents
plasma membrane
Anchoring junctions; keep cells from being pulled apart
Desmosomes
The building blocks of proteins
Amino acids
epithelium made to withstand friction
Stratified squamous
The substance in which a solute is dissolved to make a solution
Solvent
You won't find any organelles in these human cells
What are Red Blood cells?
A cell with abundant peroxisomes would most likely be involved in
Detoxification
The most common inorganic compound in the human body
What is water?
soaks up fluid, sometimes leading to edema
Areolar connective tissue
human body cell uses phagocytosis to destroy bacteria
White blood cells or phagocytes
Cells that need to export lots of proteins would have this organelle coated with ribosomes near the nucleus
Rough ER
Chemical substances stored in some cells
Inclusions
Hemoglobin (which transports oxygen) and enzymes (which increase the rates of chemical reactions) would both be:
Globular or functional protein
connective tissue connects muscles to bones
Dense fibrous connective tissue
Bulk transport that moves substances out of cells
Exocytosis
Voluntary (skeletal) muscle cells have more than one of these, which is unusual
Nuclei
