CHS Unit 2 Cells

QuestionAnswer
Who discovered cells? Robert Hook
What are the types of microscopes? Light Microscope and Electron Microscope
What is the cell theory? All livings things are composed of cells, cells are the most basic units and structure of things, new cells are produced from pre-existing cells
What are four things all cells have? Genetic Codes, Cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes
What are one celled organisms called? Unicellular
What are many celled organisms called? Multicellular
What is prokaryote? Cells that don't contain a nucleus
What is eukaryote? Cells that do contain a nucleus
What is a cell membrane? Barrier around all cells that lets materials in and out
What is a lipid bilayer? Two layers of lipids that make up the cell membrane
What is a cell wall? The barrier around plant cells and are made of carbs and proteins
What is a nucleus? The structure that contains genetic codes and is a control center of the cell
What is nucleolus? Makes ribosomes and is found in the nucleus
What is cytoplasm? Fluid in the cells that provides an environment for the cell's materials
What is a cytoskeleton? Protein skeleton of the cell that provides cell shape and more cells
What is a organelle? Parts of the cell that keeps it functioning and alive
What is a chloroplast? It performs photosynthesis in plant and protis cells
What is mitochondria? Performs respiration in plant protist fungus and animal cells
What is endoplasmic reticulum? Membrane sacks that surround the nucleus and extend to the cell membrane
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum? Rough ER(covered in ribosomes) and Smooth ER(no ribosomes)
What is the golgi apparatus? Membrane sacks that package and move molecules, modify proteins, transports macro molecules and vesicules
What is a vesicule? Membrane packages that transport macro molecules
What is vacuole? Membrane package that stores molecules
What is a lysosomes? Membrane packages that break down objects with digestive enzymes
What is a centriole? Special microtubules that create movement and divide the cell
What determines special functions of cells? The cell organelles and cell shape.
What is a gland cell? ER golgi create/release hormones/vesicules
What is a muscle cell? Mitochondria from movement energy
What is digestive / intestine cells? Hormones for digestion
What is a nueron cell? ER golgi create/release neurotransmitters
What are white blood cells? Lysosomes for destroying
What is cellular transport? The movement of molecules in / out of cells to keep cells alive and maintain homeostasis
What are the cell membrane parts? Lipid bilayer and proteins
What are the membrane protein functions? Transporting molecules / chemical receptors / adhesion / cell identification
What is fluid mosiac model? Lipids and proteins cell membranes always move around
What is concentration? The amount of molecule on one side of the membrane in relation to the other side
What is equilibrium? Molecules will naturally move from an area greater concentration to lesser concentration until equal
What is passive transport? The cell uses no energy to move molecules
What is active transport? The cell must use energy to move molecules
What is diffusion? The passive transport of molecules to achieve equilibrium
What is osmosis? The diffusion of water molecules
What are the three effects of osmosis? Isotonic; hypertonic; and hypotonic
What is isotonic? Equal amount of solutes / equilibrium
What is hypertonic? More solutes are outside the cell so water leaves the cell and shrivels up
What is facilitated diffusion? Channel proteins help to passive transport larger molecules
What is exocytosis? Molecules exit the cell in vesicle
What is endocytosis? Molecules enter the cells through the creation of vesicles
What are two types of endocytosis? Phagocytosis and pinocytosis
What is phagocytosis? The cell membrane reaches outward and engulfs food or invaders
What is pinocytosis? The cell membrane fold inward to pull fluids into the cell
What is an autotroph? An organism that gets energy from either sunlight or chemical plus heat in order to produce its own food
What is heterotroph? An organism that obtains energy from the food its consumes
What are three paths of energy? Use in cellular energy; stored in cells; expelled in waste
What is a carbohydrate? It provides sugar energy (called Glucose)
What is ATP? Molecule that stores and releases energy in cellular processes
What is NADPH and NADH? Molecules that carry and delivery excited electrons in cellular energy processes
What are the two basic types of energy processes? Aerobic and anaerobic
What is aerobic? Use oxygen to get energy
What is anaerobic? Does NOT use oxygen to get energy

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.
