Cell S&F
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Active transport | Movement across a cell membrane using energy |
| Cell | The basic unit of structure and function of living things |
| Cell Theory | Made of 3 components: 1. Cells are the basic unit of structure & function in living things 2. Cells come from other cells 3. All living things are made of cells |
| Cell wall | Rigid layer of carbohydrates providing support for plant cells |
| Chloroplast | Organelle that converts sunlight energy into carbohydrates; only found in plant cells |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly-like fluid filling cells and suspending organelles |
| Diffusion | The passing of substances directly through the cell membrane without the use of energy or protein channels |
| Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Organelle specializing in producing lipids and proteins for export |
| Eukaryotic cell | Cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| Golgi apparatus | Organelle that specializes in sorting, modifying, and packaging cellular products for export |
| Hypertonic | Solution high in salt; causes cells to shrink |
| Hypotonic | Solution low in salt; causes cells to grow |
| Isotonic | Solution containing a roughly equal amount of salt as found inside of a cell |
| Lysosome | Organelle specializing in breaking down old or degraded cell parts |
| Nucleus | Organelle that houses the DNA |
| Organelle | Specialized part of the cell that has a specific function |
| Osmosis | The passage of water through a cell membrane |
| Phospholipid bilayer | A term used to describe the two layers of lipids that make up the cell membrane |
| Plasma membrane | Outer border of a cell; controls what comes in and goes out |
| Prokaryotic cell | Cell with no nucleus |
| Ribosome | Organelle that specializes in producing proteins |
| Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) | Microscope that produces black and white 3D images of the outer surface of cells |
| Semipermeable | Describes how the cell membrane allows some substances to pass through while other substances can't |
| Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) | Microscope that produces black and white 2D images of the tiny structures inside of cells |
| Transport protein | Protein embedded within a cell that allows molecules that can't usually pass through a membrane to pass through |
| Vacuole | Organelle specializing in storage |
| Vesicle | Organelle that delivers packages around the cell; "delivery vans" |
