| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cells | basic units of life |
| cell theory | fundamental concept of bioligy |
| nucleus | contains the cells genetic material |
| eukaryotes | cells that contain neuclei |
| prokaryotes | cells that dont contain neuclei |
| organelles | little organs |
| cytoplasm | portion of cell that is outside the neucleous |
| nuclear envelope | surrounds the neucleous |
| chromatin | consists of DNA bound to protein |
| chromosomes | contain genetic info |
| nucleolus | where the assembly of ribosomes begins |
| ribosomes | small particles or RNA and protine |
| endoplasmic reticulum | synthesises lipids |
| golgi apparatus | modify and package protines |
| lysosomes | small organelles filled with enzymes |
| vacuoles | store water salts and proteins |
| mitochondria | convert chemical energy to convenient for the cell to use |
| chloroplasts | capture the suns energy and convert it to chemical energy |
| cytoskeleton | helps support the cell |
| centrioles | help organize the cell |
| cell membrane | surrounds the cell |
| cell wall | protects plant cells |
| lipid bilayer | forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings |
| concentration | mass of solute |
| diffusion | when the consintration of the solute is the same throughout the system |
| equilibrium | after diffution |
| osmosis | when water travles through a semipermiable membrain |
| isotonic | same strength |
| hypertonic | above strngth |
| hypotonic | below strength |
| facilitated deffusion | helps the diffusion of glucose |
| active transport | requires energy to transport stuff |
| endocytosis | taking material into the cell by means of infoldings or pockets |
| phagocytosis | extensions of cytoplasm |
| pinocytosis | pockets from along the cell membrane fill with liquid and pinch off to form vacuoles within the cell |
| exocytosis | the membrane fuses with the cell membrane forcing the contents out of the cell |
| cell specialization | cells through out an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks |
| tissue | group of similar cells that perform a particular functions |
| organ | many groups of tissues work together to form organs |
| organ system | group of organs that work together to perform a specific function |
