| What organic compound type contains genetic material? | Nucleic Acids |
| Define Eukaryotic cell. | a cell that contains membrane organelles |
| Define Prokaryotic cell. | an cell with no membrane bound organelles |
| What is the function of the nucleus? | to control cell activities |
| What is the function of the cell membrane? | to control what substances enter and leave the cell |
| What is the function of the ribosomes? | to make proteins |
| What is the function of the mitochondria? | to make energy for the cell |
| What is the function of the goli body? | to sort and transport proteins |
| What is the function of the cytoplasm? | clear jelly inside the cell that contains all other organelles |
| What is the function of the nucleolus? | to make ribosomes |
| What is the function of the vacuole? | to store food, water, and waste |
| What is the function of the cytoskeleton? | to maintain cell shape |
| What is the function of the cell wall? | to support and protect the cell |
| What is the function of the chloroplast? | captures sunlight to produce glucose |
| What is the function of the lysosome? | disgest food particles, old organelles, bacteria, and viruses |
| What is the funciton of centrioles? | helps in cell division |
| Is the cell wall located in animal or plant cells? | plant |

| What are the 2 major types of cell transport? | Active and passive |
| Define diffusion. | movement of particles from high concentration or low concentration |
| Define active transport. | transport that requires energy to move from low concentration to high concentration |
| Define passive transport. | transport that does not require energy to move from high concentration to low concentration |
| Define osmosis. | movement of water from high concentration to low concentration |
| Define facilitated diffusion. | movement of particles from high to low concentration using a transport protein |
| Define photosynthesis. | use of sunlight energy to make food (glucose) |
| What is the photosynthesis equation? | Carbon dioxide + water+ light energy yields glucose + oxygen |
