Cells and Diffusion
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nucleus | Controls all activities of the cell; growth and reproduction. |
| Cell Membrane | allows certain molecules to go in or out of a cell. Molecules move in or out of a cell. Made up of two phospholipid layers interconnected. |
| Cell Wall | supports and protects the cell does not allow molecules in or out |
| Chromosomes | Proteins that contain DNA which has coded information for making molecules. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | produces and stores fats and oils |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | helps rough ER make protein attached to rough ER |
| Ribosomes | helps rough ER make more protien is attached to rough ER. |
| Centrioles | helps with cell division (mitosis) |
| Mitochondria | converts sugar into energy for the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Fluid in the cell allows organelles to move around |
| Vacuole | Stores water, minerals and vitamins also much bigger in plant |
| Lysomes | Breaks down food-evading bacteria and kills old/damaged organelles. |
| Chloroplast | uses sunlight to make its own food |
| Photosynthesis | Co^2+H^2O+light=Sugar+O^2 |
| Diffusion | movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration |
| Osmosis | movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration of water. |
| permable | allows any molecules to go across to membrane. |
| semi-permeable | allows certain molecules to diffuse across membrane |
| non-permable | allows no molecules to go to membrane. |
