| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| The power house of the cell;Convert oxygen and nutrients into energy | Mitochondria (a) |
| Protects the cell and regulates molecules entering and leaving the cell | Cell Membrane (a) |
| Helps hold the cell’s organelles in place | Cytoplasm (a) |
| Stores the DNA and coordinates the cell’s activities, basically, it is the brain | Nucleus (a) |
| Build protein for the cell to use | Ribosomes (a) |
| Break down waste into simple compounds for other organelles to use | Lysosomes (a) |
| Manufactures and transports chemical compounds to and from the nucleus | Endoplasmic Reticulum (a) |
| Modifies proteins and fats built in the cell and prepares them for storage or transports them outside the cell | Golgi Apparatus (a) |
| Digest toxic materials in the cell | Peroxisomes (a) |
| Stores waste products and maintains the PH level of the cell | Vacuole (a) |
| Help the cell divide during mitosis and meiosis | Centrioles (a) |
| Releases materials from the cell, usually waste from the cell | Secretory Vesicles (a) |
| Absorb nutrients for the cell and help with cell movement | Microvilli (a) |
| Provides structural support for the cell | Cytoskeleton (a) |
| Provide structural support for the cytoskeleton and connect to chromosomes during cell division | Microtubules (a) |
| Provide structural support for the cytoskeleton | Microfilaments (a) |
| Main protection barrier of plant cells | Cell Wall (p) |
| Provides structural support for the cell | Cytoskeleton (p) |
| Converts sunlight to energy by a process called photosynthesis | Chloroplast (p) |
| Enables transport of material and communication to adjacent cells | Plasmodesmata |
| Transports materials within the cell and help store enzymes | Vescicle (p) |
| Denoting or relating to a solution having the same osmotic pressure as some other solution, especially one in a cell or a body fluid. | Isotonic |
| Having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid. | Hypertonic |
| Having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid. | Hypotonic |
| Water fearing (tail) | Hydrophobic |
| Water loving (head) | Hydrophilic |
| Types of consumers | Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers |
| A carnivore at the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on other carnivores; an animal that feeds only on secondary consumers. | Tertiary Consumers |
| Each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, comprising organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy. | Trophic Level |
| The hypothesis that evolutionary development is marked by isolated episodes of rapid speciation between long periods of little or no change. | Punctuated Equilibrium |
| The hypothesis that evolution proceeds chiefly by the accumulation of gradual changes (in contrast to the punctuationist model). | Gradualism |
| A mode of natural selection in which a single phenotype is favored, causing the allele frequency to continuously shift in one direction | Directional Selection |
| (or diversifying selection) a mode of natural selection in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values | Disruptive Selection |
| Type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value | Stabilizing Selection |
| Water tends to stick to unlike substances | Adhesion |
| Water molecules cling together due to hydrogen bonds | Cohesion |
