Transport
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Diffusion | The process of molecules moving from a high concentration to low concentration of molecules without the use of ATP. |
| Dynamic Equilibrium | Homeostasis-balance |
| Passive Transport | The process of when molecules move from a high concentration to low concentration of molecules without the use of ATP. |
| Osmosis | The diffusion of water across a cell membrane. |
| Why is water important? | Water is needed for dissolving and carrying materials, giving support to plant cells and making 72% of your body. |
| Active Transport | The process of molecules moving from and area of low concentration to an area of high concentration with the use of ATP. |
| Selectively Permeable | The cell can control what goes in or out of the cell membrane. Made of Lipids and Proteins. |
| Cell Membrane | Regulates what enters and exits the cell. Selectively Permeable. |
| Cytoplasm | Site of most chemical reactions that occur in the cell. Gel like liquid that all of the other organelles float around in. (not an organelle) |
| Nucleus | Controls all cellular activity. "Control center of the cell". Contains 23 chromosomes from mom and dad. |
| Nuclear Membrane | Determines what enters and exits the nucleus. Selectively Permeable. |
| Nucleolus | Builds/synthesizes ribosomes. Found in the nucleus. |
| Ribosomes | Synthesizes protein. |
| Rough ER | Has ribosomes attached to it. |
| Smooth ER | No ribosomes attached to it. |
| Mitochondria | Site of Respiration. Produces ATP for the cell. |
| Vacuole | Stores food, water, and waste products. |
| Centrioles | Aids in cell division (mitosis). Tube shaped structures found only in animal cells. |
| Cell Wall | Rigid/Stiff structure that encloses, supports and protects the cells of plants. Made of cellulose. |
| Chloroplast | Site of Photosynthesis. Contains chlorophyll and makes pkants green. |
| Photosynthesis | Produces glucose/sugar using light. |
