WORDS TO KNOW
DEFINITIONS
Active transport   Movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy  
🗑
ATP   (Abbreviation for adenosine triphosphate) A compound, found in living cells, that can store and release energy  
🗑
Cell wall   A barrier that surrounds the cells of organisms such as plants, algae, and fungi  
🗑
Cells   The basic unit of all living things  
🗑
Cellulose   Carbohydrates woven together to make up the cell wall in plants, algae, and fungi  
🗑
Chlorophyll   A plant substance, usually green, that absorbs light energy for use in photosynthesis  
🗑
Chloroplasts   The part of a plant where photosynthesis is carried out  
🗑
Cytoplasm   A jellylike material in most cells that surrounds the nucleus  
🗑
Dark phase   Second phase of photosynthesis during which light is not needed  
🗑
Diffusion   The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   A network of folded membranes within the cell that manufactures and stores many chemicals  
🗑
Golgi complex   A series of flattened sacs within a cell where materials are modified, packaged, and distributed to other parts of the cell  
🗑
Impermeable   Unable to be penetrated  
🗑
Light phase   The stage of photosynthesis that is driven by energy from the sun  
🗑
Lysosomes   Enzyme-containing cell parts that help digest food and break down old cell parts  
🗑
Membrane   A thin, flexible sheet or layer  
🗑
Mitochondria   Round or rod shaped structures in a cell in which food molecules are broken down to produce energy; the singular form is mitochondrion  
🗑
Nuclear envelope   The membrane that surrounds the nucleus  
🗑
Nucleoli   Organelles within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA is produced; the singular form is nucleolus  
🗑
Nucleus   The part of a cell that controls many of the functions of the cell and contains the organism's DNA  
🗑
Organelles   Small structures inside cells that have specialized functions  
🗑
Osmosis   Movement of water across a semipermeabe membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration  
🗑
Passive transport   The movement of molecules across a cell membrane without use of energy by the cell  
🗑
Permeable   Able to allow fluids and particles to pass through  
🗑
Phosphate   An organic compound made up of a phosphorus atom surrounded by three oxygen atoms  
🗑
Photosynthesis   A process which plants and some other organisms use energy from the sun to convert water and carbon dioxide to food  
🗑
Respiration   The process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide  
🗑
Ribosomes   Tiny structures that make proteins for the cells  
🗑
Semipermeable   Able to allow some fluids and particles to pass through, but not others  
🗑
Transport   The movement of fluids and nutrients around an organism's body  
🗑
Vacuoles   Storage chambers in cells that are used to hold nutrients and wastes  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
