| What is a protaryotic cell? | A cell that does not enclose DNA in the nucleus |
| What is a example of a prokaryotic cell? | Bacteria |
| What is a Eukaryotic cell? | A cell that encloses the DNA in the nucleus |
| What is a example of a Eukaryotic cell? | Protists, plant and animal, & fungi |
| What are the properties of a prokaryotic cell? | They are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. |
| What are the properties of a eukaryotic cell? | Large and complex than prokaryotic cells. |
| What is cytoplasm? | Everything inside the cell except the nucleus(Eukaryotic) Everything inside the cell(Prokaryotic) |
| What is the cytoskeleton? | Network of protein filaments in a eukaryotic cell that fices the cell its shape and internal organization and is involved in movement. |
| What is the centriole? | Organelle in a eukaryotic cell (Animal) that helps to organize cell division |
| What is a cell? | Basic unit of all life |
| What is the cell membrane? | Thin, flexible barriar that surrounds all cells; regulates what renters and leaves. |
| What is the cell wall? | Strong, suporting layer around the cell membrane (Plant) |
| What is the chloroplast? | Organelle found in cells of plants that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy |
| What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum? | Internal membrane system found in eukaryotic cells; place where lipid componets of the cell membrane are assembled. |
| What is the golgi apparatus? | Organelle in cells that midifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release outside the cell |
| What is a lysosome? | Organelle that breaks down lipids, carbobydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by th rest of the cell. |
| What is the mitochondria? | Organelle that converts the chemiclal energy stored in food to compounds that are more conveinient for the cell to use. |
| What is the vacuole? | Organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and charbohydrates. |
| What is selectively permeable? | Membranes that allow some substances to pass through while others cannot |
| What is the lipid bilayer? | Flexible double layerd sheet that makes up the cell membrane and forms a barrier between the cell and it;s surroundings |
| What does the cell membrane do? | it regulates what enters and leaves the cell, it's a source of protection and support also |
| What is a lipid? | It's a source of energy, biological membrane and water-proof covering, insulation and cusioning, and steriods & hormones. |
| What makes up a lipid? | Glycerol head: Hydrophilic Fatty acid tail: hydrophobic |
