Cell Theory
The smallest unit of life
What is a cell?
This organelle holds DNA and controls functions of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The category of transport that does not use the cell's energy
What is passive transport?
The molecule cells use to store energy
What is ATP?
The color of chlorophyll
What is green?
The percentage of livings that are made of cells.
What is 100%?
This is made of lipids and separates the inside from the outside of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The category of transport that uses the cell's energy
What is active transport?
The food molecule that plants create through photosynthesis
What is glucose?
This is a type of food created through fermentation. It is mixed with cucumbers to make tzatziki, a dip used widely in Greek cuisine
What is yogurt?
This makes up 70% of a cell.
What is water?
This provides structure to many plant cells, but animal cells do not have one.
What is the cell wall?
The process by which a cell can move a large molecule through its membrane into the cell
What is endocytosis?
The source of energy that allows plants to perform photosynthesis
What is the sun?
A word that means some things can go through and others can't, like a membrane.
What is "semi-permeable?"
All cells come from these.
What are already-existing cells?
This is where the second step of cellular respiration happens.
What is the mitochondrion?
The name for the diffusion of water across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
This is a backup energy process for when a cell is low on oxygen
What is fermentation?
A _____ shape has more surface area than a simple shape of the same volume
What is "complex?"
The name for large molecules, like proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, that are in cells.
What are macromolecules?
This organelle contains chlorophyll and other pigments to absorb sunlight.
What is the chloroplast?
These are what allows facilitated diffusion to occur across the cell membrane
What are transport proteins (channel and carrier proteins)?
The first step of cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down
What is glycolysis?
The type of acid that makes you "feel the burn" when exercising
What is lactic acid?
