| A solution that is stronger than the cell is said to be | hypertonic |
| A solution that is the same strength as the cell is called | isotonic |
| The smell of chicken raosting in the kitchen reaches the lounge by the process of | diffusion |
| Sugar cells cannot cross the cell membrance because they are too | large |
| Human red blood cells | have no nucleus |
| which is the smallest unit of life that can exist as a separate enity | a cell |
| the flow of energy among living organisms is best characterized as a | circle |
| The conversion of solor energy to chemical energy is known as | photosynthesis |
| which represents the lowest degree of certainity | hypothesis |
| which represents the highest degree of certainity | law |
| what is not part of cytoplasm | nucleus |
| Organelles composed of a system of canals, tubes, and sacs that transport molecules inside the cytoplasm are | ENDOPLASMIC RECTICULM |

| Prokaryotic cells do NOT have | ribosomes or membran-bound nuclei. |
| 3 main difference between plant and animal cells | PLANTS: Cell Wall, Chlorplast, Large Vacuole, Plasmoadesmato ANIMALS: Lysosomes, Centrioles, Desmosomes |
| Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes | PROKARYOTES: Bacteria cells are small, have ribosomes and no nucleus EUKARYOTES: plants, animals, fungi, and organelles |
| FOUR KINGDOMS OF EUKARYOTICS | 1. PLANTS 2. ANIMALS 3. FUNGI 4. PROTISTS |
| Lysosomes | Contain enzymes |
| Cell Membrane | Controls what is allowed in and out of cell |
| Nucleus | Control center, acts as the brain of the cell, contains genetic material |
| Mitochrondria | Recapture energy from respiration |
| Cell Wall | gives structure and allows plant cells to connect together like bricks |
| ER | rough/smooth, organelles composed of tubes, canals, and sacs that act as transportation, highway of cell |
| Ribosomes | make proteins |
| Chloroplast | Contains chloraphyl and gets food from photosynthesis |
