Science
| Question | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell Wall (Bodyguard) | A rigid layer that surrounds the cell. It helps protect and support the cell. |
| Cell membrane (Screen)) | A thin layer that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of a cell. |
| Cytoplasm (swimming pool) | Gel-like fluid fills most of cell; moves nutrients, proteins, and organelles within a cell. It holds organelles |
| Nucleus (Brain) | it contains the cells genetic material in the form of DNA and controls cells activities |
| Endoplasmic reticulum (E.R) (highway) | Transport materials and helps make proteins and other substances. |
| Ribosomes (protein factory) | Produced protines needed by the cell |
| Golgi apperatus (gift wrapper) | Packages and distributes materials from the E.R |
| Mitochondion (power house) | Converts energy in food to be used by the cell. |
| Chloroplast (the green machine) | Makes food for the cell using energy from sunlight |
| Lysosome (food prosseser) | Break down food particles and worn-out cell parts |
| Vaculoe (warehouse) | stores water, food, water products or other materials. |
| Passive transport | The movement of dissolved materials across a cell membrane without using the cells energy. |
| diffusion | its the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentraition |
| active transport | The movement of materials across a cell membrain using cellular energy. |
| endocytosis | the cell membrane takes particles into the cell by the changing shape and endguifing the particles |
| Exocytosis | the vaculoe surrounding particles fuses with the cell |
