Cells & Diffusion
Part A
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Nucleus | controls all activities o the cell, growth and reproduction |
cell membrane | allows certain molecules to go in or out of the cell |
cell wall | supports and protects the plant, does not allow molescules in or out |
chromosomes | proteins that contain DNA which has coded information of making molecules |
rough endoplasmic reticulum | produces and stores proteins |
smooth endoplasmic reticulum | produces and stores fat & oils |
golgi bodies | modifies & packages proteins from rough er with enzyms |
ribosomes | helps rough er make proteins is attached to the rough er |
centrioles | helps with cell division (mitosis) spindle fibres come from here |
mitochondira | converts sugar into energy for the cell |
cytoplasm | flui in the cell, allows organells to move around |
vacuole | stores water, minerals & vitamins much bigger in plant cells |
lysosomes | breaks down food, invading bacteria, and old/damaged organelles |
chloroplasts | uses sunlight to make its own food |
diffusion | movement of moleecules from areas of high concentraion to low concentraiton |
permeable | allows any molecules to diffuse across membrane |
semi-permeable | allows certain molecules to diffuse across membrane ex. cell membrane |
non permeable | allows o molecules to diffuse across membrane |
osmosis | movement of water molecules from high concetration to low concentration of water |
