Cells AnaPhy

QuestionAnswer
External boundary of the cell confines cell contents, regulates entry and exit of materials Plasma membrane
scattered in the cytoplasm contain enzymes that digest non-usable materials within the cell Lysosomes
scattered throughout the cell control release of energy from food; form ATP Mitochondria
Projections form plasma membrane Increase the membrane surface area Microvilli
Inside the cytoplasm, next to the endoplasmic reticulum and near the cell nucleus Modifies and packages proteins like secretory vesicles, cell membrane components and lysosomes Golgi Apparatus
Located in the periphery of the cell Nucleus
two-rod shaped bodies near the nucleus Direct formation of the mitotic spindles Centrioles
Inside the nucleus Sites of ribosome production Nucleolus
after the rough ER Cholesterol synthesis and breakdown, fat metabolism and detoxification of drugs Smooth ER
Attached to membrane systems or scattered in the cytoplasm Synthesizes proteins Ribosome
Inside the nucleus Condenses to form chromosomes where cell divides Chromatin
Scattered in the cytoplasm Detoxify alcohol, hydrogen, peroxide Peroxisomes
Within the cytoplasm Non-functioning units of the cell Inclusions
building blocks of all living things cells
group of cells that are similar in structure and function Tissues
contain nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell Nuclear Membrane
Site of ribosome production Nucleoli
material outside of the nucleus and inside of the membrane Cytoplasm
fluid that suspend other elements Cytosol
metabolic machinery of the cell Organelles
fluid like tubules for carrying substances Endoplasmic Reticulum
studded with ribosomes site where building material of cellular membrane are formed Rough ER
Network of protein structures that extend throughout the cytoplasm Provides the cell of internal framework Cytoskeleton
Not found in a cell used for movements Cellular Projections
movement of substances into and out of the cell Membrane Transport
no energy required for transport Passive transport
cell must provide metabolic energy for transport Active transport
homogeneous mixture of two or more components Solution
nucleoplasm and cytosol Intracellular fluid
fluid on the exterior of the cell Interstitial Fluid
The plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others Selective Permeability
particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within solution Diffusion
unassisted process solutes are lipid-structure materials or small enough to pass through membrane pores Simple diffusion
simple diffusion of water Osmosis
substances require a protein carries for passive transport Facilitated diffusion
water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid or hydrostatic pressure Filtration
ATP energized protein carries and in most cases moves substances against concentration gradients Solute Pumping
moves materials out of the cell Exocytosis
extracellular substances are engulfed being enclosed in a membranous vesicle Endocytosis
cell eating Phagocytosis
cell drinking Pinocytosis
cells carries on metabolic processes interphase
cell replicates itself function is to produce more cells for growth and repair processes Cell division
genetic material duplicated and readies a cell for division into two cells DNA replication
division of the nucleus mitosis
division of cytoplasm begins when mitosis is near completion Cytokinesis
no cell division occurs the cell carries out normal metabolic activity and growth Interphase
first part off cell division centromeres migrate to the poles Prophase
spindle from centromeres are attached to chromosomes that are aligned in the center of the cell Metaphase
daughter chromosomes are pulled toward the poles cell begins to elongate Anaphase
daughter nuclei begin forming Telophase
DNA segment that carries a blueprint for building one protein Gene
transfers appropriate animo acids to the ribosome for building the protein Transfer RNA
helps form the ribosome where protein built Ribosomal RNA
carries the instructions for building a protein from the nucleus to the ribosome Messenger RNA
transfer of information from DNA's base sequence to the complimentary base sequence of MRNA Transcription
base sequence of nucleic acid is translated to an animo acid sequence Translation
building blocks of proteins Animo Acids

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
