100
What are the four major macromolecules we covered in class?
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
100
This organelle is considered the control center of the cell
The nucleus
100
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from which concentration to which concentration?
High concentration to low concentration
100
This macromolecule provides short-term energy and provides structure for plant cells
Carbohydrate
100
This organelle packages proteins and helps to transport molecules in and out of the cell
What is the Golgi Apparatus
200
This macromolecule is important in building muscle.
Protein
200
This organelle, responsible for providing structure and support, is only found in plant cells and not in animal cells
What is the cell wall
200
What is the only method of molecular movement we learned about that requires energy?
Active transport
200
Enzymes are a type of this macromolecule
Protein
200
This organelle is found in abundance in white blood cells due to its responsibility of breaking down viruses
The lysosome
300
This macromolecule serves as long-term energy storage and provides insulation
Lipid
300
This organelle, only found in plant cells, is responsible for converting light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose
What is the chloroplast
300
Osmosis is the movement of what type of molecule?
Water
300
Large carbohydrates are broken down into this monomer
Monosaccharide
300
This organelle takes up over half the space in plant cells and is responsible for storage of food and water
The vacuole
400
This macromolecule is responsible for carrying the genetic information for organisms
Nucleic Acid
400
Prokaryotes do not have this organelle
A nucleus
400
A cell containing 5% glucose is surrounded by a solution with 15% glucose. Describe how water will move in this situation, and by what process.
Water will leave the cell by osmosis.
400
What is the monomer of protein?
Amino acid
400
This organelle converts glucose into ATP, which is energy used in all intra and extracellular functions
Mitochondria
500
This macromolecule is found within the cell membrane and provides an important barrier between the cell and its environment
Lipid
500
Lipids make up a majority of this organelle
What is the cell membrane
500
What process do cells use to move molecules from LOW concentration to HIGH concentration?
Active transport
500
Marathon runners load up on this macromolecule the night before a big race due to its ability to provide energy to the body.
Carbohydrate
500
Which three organelles contain DNA?
The nucleus, the mitochondria, and the chloroplasts
