Cell Theory: All presently existing cells ___ ___ previously existing cells came from
The lowest level of structure capable of performing all the activities of life is the ___. cell
A(n) ___ organism is composed of one cell unicellular
A(n) ___ organism is composed of two or more cells. multicellular
The ability of cells to divide to form new cells is the basis for all ___ and for the growth and repair of all multicellular organisms. reproduction
A cell that does not contain a nucleus Prokaryotic cell
Eukaryotic cell a cell that has a nucleus
Organelle a cell structure that performs a specialized function
Cell organelle that contains the genetic material (DNA) and functions as the control center. nucleus
Cell organelle which functions as the powerhouse of the cell (supplies energy). mitochondria
Cell organelle where cellular respiration takes place. mitochondria
Cell organelle found only in plants where photosynthesis occurs. chloroplast
Green pigment which absorbs energy from the Sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar chlorophyll
Cell organelle which contains enzymes necessary for digesting/recycling material within the cell. lysosomes
Cell organelle which stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. vacuoles
Cell organelle that functions as the site of protein synthesis. Can be found on the ER or in the cytoplasm. ribosomes
Cell organelle that functions to transport materials throughout the inside of the cell. endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
A type of ER that has ribosomes attached. rough ER
A type of ER that does not have ribosomes attached. smooth ER
A cell organelle that modifies, collects, packages, and distributes molecules. golgi bodies (apparatus)
short hair-like projections responsible for the movement of animal cells. cilia
long whip-like projections responsible for the movement of some animal cells, bacteria, or protists. flagella
cell organelle that encloses the cell and regulates the passage of materials between the cell and its environment. It also aids in protection and support of the cell. cell membrane
Cell organelle that surrounds the nucleus of the cell and regulates the passage of materials between the nucleus and the cytoplasm nuclear membrane
Cell organelle that surrounds the cell membrane for protection and support in plant cells, bacteria, fungi, and some protists, and allows for specific substances to pass in and out of the cell. cell wall
Semi-fluid material inside the cell containing molecules and the organelles, exclusive of the nucleus; is bound by the cell membrane cytoplasm
Prokaryotic cells lack a ___, but do contain ___ for protein synthesis. nucleus, ribosomes
Type of cell that lacks a mitochondria, but can obtain energy from sunlight or chemicals in their environment prokaryotic
Each cell within an organism contains the ___ ___ of the organism. genetic material
All cells ___ have the potential to become any type of cell. initially
As cells divide, the ___ ___ determines what type of cell it will become. genetic material
There are many different types of cells. Each has a different ___ and ___. structure, function
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism Levels of cellular organization
Cells with the same structure and function join together to form ___. tissues
Tissues that have the same structure and perform similar functions join together to form ___. organs
Organs that work together to perform certain tasks form an ___ ___. organ system
All organ systems within a(n) ___ work together to perform life functions. organism
Stem cells unspecialized cells that continually reproduce themselves and have the ability to differentiate into one or more types of specialized cells
A type of stem cell that has not yet differentiated into various cell types. embryonic stem cells
A type of stem cell that has already differentiated into a specialized cell type. adult stem cells
The necessity of an organism to maintain constant or stable internal conditions. homeostasis
All organisms have processes and structures which respond to ___ in ways that help maintain homeostasis. stimuli
Homeostasis is dependent upon the ___ of materials into and out of the cell. movement
Materials needed for cellular processes must move ___ the cell and waste materials must move ___. into, out
A cell membrane is ___, meaning that some substances can pass directly through the cell membrane while other substances cannot. semipermeable (selectively permeable)
A process by which substances move across a cell membrane but do not require energy from the cell. passive transport
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion are all types of ___ transport. passive
The spreading out of molecules across a cell membrane until they are equally concentrated. diffusion
Molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration concentration gradient
the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of greater concentration of water to an area of lesser concentration of water. osmosis
The process by which some substances that are not able to pass directly through a cell membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins facilitated diffusion
Some substances have chemical structures that ___ them from passing directly through a cell membrane prevent
___ is a substance that requires the use of a transport protein in order to diffuse through the cell membrane. glucose
A type of transport in which the cell must expend energy to move the molecule across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient. active transport
In active transport, molecules are "___" across the cell membrane by transport proteins. pumped
___, ___, and ___ are examples of materials that must be forced across the cell membrane using active transport. calcium, potassium, sodium ions
Another process of active transport happens when molecules are ___ ___ to pass through a cell membrane even with the aid of transport proteins too large
A type of active transport where a large molecule passes into the cell. endocytosis
A type of active transport where a large molecule passes out of the cell. exocytosis
___ are used by large molecules to travel through the cell membrane. vesicles

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.
