Vocabulary
The transport of materials from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
Answer: Active Transport
Separates the cell parts by their density.
Answer: Centrifuge
Is rapid focus and is used with low or medium power on a microscope.
Answer: Coarse Adjustment
Have membrane bound organelles, much larger than prokaryotic cells, and can be used to form multicellular organisms.
Answer: Eukaryote
Is used on plant cells.
Answer: Iodine
Carries the molecule through because it might be too large.
Answer: Carrier Protein
Are found in animal cells, they assist in cell division/reproduction.
Answer: Centrioles
Are specialized vacuoles found in freshwater Protozoa, they pump water out.
Answer: Contractile Vacuole
Is some large and/or charged (positively or negatively) particles. This is provided by carrier and channel proteins
Answer: Facilitated Diffusion
Converts the energy in food molecules (glucose) into a usable energy (ATP).
Answer: Mitochondria
Is a structure which is made up of a double lipid (fat) layer with large proteins floating in it.
Answer: Cell Membrane
Are a straight wide pathway into the cell.
Answer: Channel Protein
Is a material that is within a living cell that brings materials from inside and outside the nucleus.
Answer: Cytoplasm
Is used to sharpen focus and it’s on high power.
Answer: Fine Adjustment
Is the structure that regulates cell activity, necessary for cell reproduction
Answer: Nucleus
Are cells found in plant cells, this provides the cell with support, protection, and structural support.
Answer: Cell Wall
Pigment that plants use to make food during a process called photosynthesis.
Answer: Chlorophyll
Is the involvement in the synthesis of certain molecules and intracellular transport
Answer: Endoplasmic Reticulum
Digestive enzymes to break up food and organelles that no longer function, they can help digest food that enters the cell and it recycled materials, if a virus enters it tries to kill it
Answer: Lyosomes
Inside the nucleus, responsible in helping protein synthesis, it produces/builds RNA
Answer: Nucleolus
Is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
Answer: Cell Respiration
Are found only in plant cells, they have the ability to convert light energy into chemical bond energy.
Answer: Chloroplasts
Is when the concentration of a material is equal on both sides of the membrane. At this point, diffusion stops
Answer: Equilibrium
Is used on animal cells.
Answer: Methylene Blue
Does not require energy, materials move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Answer: Passive Transport
