Animal and plant cells and two major classes of cells
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organelle | part of a cell with a specific function |
| plasma membrane | thin, outer boundary of a cell that regulates the traffic of chemicals between the cell and its surroundings |
| nucleus | the part that houses the cells genetic material in the form of DNA |
| cytoplasm | region of cell between nucleus and cell membrane |
| cell wall | strong wall outside a plant cell's plasma membrane that protects the cell and maintains its shape |
| prokaryotic cell | cell lacking a nucleus and most other organelles |
| eukaryotic cell | well with nucleus (surrounded by its own membrane) and other internal organelles |
| Mitochondria | The sites, in eukaryotic cells where cellular respiration occurs. |
| ATP (adenosine triphosphate) | The main energy source that cells use for most of their work. "Energy currency" |
| Enzyme Activity | Enzymes catalyze reactions of nearby substrates. |
| Cell to Cell Recognition | Molecules on the surfaces of other cells are "recognized" by membrane proteins |
| Cell Signaling | A chemical messenger binds to a membrane protein, causing it to change shape and relay the message inside the cell. |
| Transport of Materials | Transport proteins provide channels for certain solutes. |
