What come together to make proteins? | amino acids |
What do all organic compounds contain? | carbon |
What are 3 examples of carbohydrates? | starch, sugar, cellulose |
What is the function of the nucleus? | control center of the cell; direct all cell activities |
What is diffusion? | the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy |

What is the difference between mitochondrion and chloroplasts? | Mitochondrion, found in plant and animal cells, use food to release energy. Chloroplasts, found only in plant cells, use energy to produce food. |
What happens to a cell in a hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions? | hypertonic - water moves out of cell and cell shrivels like a raisin; hypotonic - water moves in the cell & swells up like a giant O; isotonic - equal amount of water moving in and out of cell at same rate |
