Cell Theory
_________ are the basic building blocks of life.
What are Cells?
Which organelle is the storehouse for most of the genetic information, or DNA in your cells.
What is the Nucleus?
This organelle is the gel-like substance that other organelles float in.
What is the Cytoplasm?
These make up the majority of the bilayer of the cell membrane.
What are Phospholipids?
A solution where there is an equal amount of water and solutes inside and outside of the cell.
What is an Isotonic Solution?
This type of cell stores its DNA in a nucleus.
What are Eukaryotic Cells?
This organelle produces usable cellular energy from organic compounds.
What is the Mitochondria?
Creates and transports proteins and lipids that will leave the cell.
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
The cell membrane only allows certain molecules to come in and out, and is therefore called ______-__________________
What is Semi-Permeable?
This type of solution has more dissolved particles when compared to another solution.
What is a Hypertonic solution?
This type of cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm.
What are Prokaryotic Cells?
This organelle creates proteins.
100 Bonus: Name the two organelles they are found in.
What are Ribosomes?
100 Bonus: Where is the Cytoplasm and the Rough ER?
These types of cells have NO membrane-bound organelles.
What are Prokaryotes?
No energy is required during this movement of molecules from a high to low concentration, however proteins are required.
What is Facilitated Diffusion?
This type of solution has less dissolved particles when compared to another solution.
What is a Hypotonic Solution?
Finish the statement:
"All cells come from ________ _________."
What are Pre-Existing Cells?
This organelle is transports many different materials throughout the cell. It is also involved in bulk transport.
What are Vesicles?
This organelle is a dense region inside the nucleus and is responsible for creating ribosomes.
What is the Nucleolus?
The release of many/large substances out of the cell by the fusion of a vesicle with the cell membrane.
What is Exocytosis?
When particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration without the help of a protein.
What is (Simple) Diffusion?
Which type of microscope shoots subatomic particles through a thin slice of a specimen to visualize very small cellular components.
What is an Electron Microscope?
This organelle digests worn-out cell organelles and other recycles materials.
What are Lysosomes?
This substance is located in the nucleus, and is made up of both DNA AND proteins.
What is Chromatin?
What kind of active transport moves 3 Na+ ions out of the cell and 2 K+ ions into the cell?
What is the Sodium-Potassium Pump?
When molecules move from an area of low to high concentration with the help of protein. Requires energy.
What is Active Transport?
