Macromolecules
The monomer of a protein
What is an amino acid?
Movement of molecules across the cell membrane that does not require energy
What is passive transport?
This organelle makes proteins
What is the ribosome?
This type of cell is only unicellular.
What is a prokaryote?
This structure supporting organelle that surrounds the cell membrane is only found in plant cells and prokaryotes.
What is the cell wall?
The monomer of a nucleic acid
What is a nucleotide?
This type of passive transport occurs when water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What is osmosis?
This organelle modifies, packages, and sorts proteins.
What is the golgi apparatus?
A prokaryote does not have this DNA storing organelle.
What is a nucleus?
Animal cells have this organelle that uses enzymes to digest and recycle things.
What is a lysosome?
The monomer of a carbohydrate
What is a monosaccharide?
A type of passive transport that requires the use of channel proteins.
What is facilitated diffusion?
This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
All cells have these three organelles.
What is the cytoplasm, ribosome, and cell membrane?
This organelle is unique to plant cells and serves as the site of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Enzymes belong to this macromolecule category
What is a protein?
This is the main component of the cell membrane
What is a phospholipid?
A gel-like substance that suspends organelles.
What is the cytoplasm?
This type of cell has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What is a eukaryote?
This organelle is only in animal cells and builds the spindle fibers during cell division.
What is the centrosome?
This enzyme breaks down lactose.
What is lactase?
This component of the cell membrane aids larger molecules in entering the cell through facilitated diffusion.
What are channel proteins?
This organelle make ATP (energy) for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Prokaryotes have this structure to help them move around.
What is the flagella?
This organelle stores water and helps a plant maintain its shape.
What is the central vacuole?
