Cell Biology
The 4 main elements/components that make up cells of living organisms.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen
Where DNA is stored in the cell.
What is the nucleus.
The two main components of the cell membrane.
What is the phospholipid bilayer and proteins.
The movement of water in response to a concentration gradient.
What is osmosis.
The process in which a vesicle forms to bring something into the cell.
What is endocytosis.
This Scientist coined the term "cells".
Who is Robert Hooke
The organelle/location where photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast.
This type of membrane allows some substances to pass through the membrane, but not others.
What is a Semi-Permeable Membrane
When substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is diffusion.
The process in which salt is removed from water.
What is desalination.
Theory that life could develop from non-living matter.
What is Spontaneous Generation
Found in plants, fungi, and some protists, this organelle gives the cell shape and support.
What is the cell wall.
Term that describes the affinity/"love" for water, or a "hatred" for water
What is hydrophilic and hydrophobic.
When there is a lower concentration of solute outside of the cell, compared to inside of the cell.
What is hypotonic.
How could somebody "fix" wilting celery? What is the biological term associated with this process.
Sticking it in water, to increase the turgor pressure in the celery.
Provide a minimum of three life processes that cells do.
Intake of nutrients, movement, growth, response to stimuli, gas exchange, waste removal, reproduction.
This is the internal network of fibres used for cellular transport.
What is the cytoskeleton.
This component is responsible for transporting substances (and many more jobs) across the cell membrane.
What are proteins.
Type of transport that does not require energy, but does need a protein to pass the cell membrane.
What is facilitated diffusion.
What are the 4 requirements that are needed to help distribute water from the roots of a plant to the leaves of a plant.
Root pressure, cohesion/adhesion, and transpiration pull through leaf.
The process in which dairy products are sterilized.
What is the Pasteurization Process.
This organelle receives substances from the ER, and packages substances for transport out of the cell.
What is the Golgi Appartus
The name of the model that explains the continuous movement of the cell membrane.
What is the Fluid-Mosaic Model.
When there is a difference in the amount of solute/substance across a membrane/barrier.
What is a concentration gradient.
This process removes toxins, waste, and excess fluid in the blood which is produced by the body.
What is dialysis.
