Cells & Diffusion
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Diffusion | Movement of Molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration. |
| Osmosis | Movement of water molecules from high concentration of water to low concentration of water |
| Permeable | Allows any molecules to diffuse across the membrane |
| semi - Permeable | Allows certain molecules to diffuse across membrane |
| non - Permeable | Allows no molecules to diffuse across the membrane |
| Nucleus - Both | Controls all activities of the cell growth & Reproduction |
| Cell Membrane - Both | - Allows certain molecules to go in or out of cells - Molecules diffuse in or out of a cell - Made up of 2 phosphorous layers interconnected |
| cell wall - plant | Support and protects the cell and does not allow molecules in or out |
| Chromosomes - Both | Proteins that contain DNA which has coded information for making molecules |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - Both | Produces and stores protein |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - Both | Produces and Stores fat & Oil |
| Golgi Bodies - Both | Modifies & packages proteins from the Rough E.R with enzymes |
| Ribosomes- Both | Helps the Rough E.R to make protein and is attached to the Rough E.R |
| Centrioles - Animal | - Helps with cell division (Mitosis) - Spindle fibers come from Here |
| Mitochondria - Both | Converts sugar into energy for the cell |
| Cytoplasm - Both | Fluid in the cell allows organelles to move around |
| Vacuole- Both | - Stores water, minerals & vitamins - Much bigger in plant cells |
| Lysosomes - Animal | - Breaks down food - Invading Bacteria - old/damaged organelles |
| Chloroplasts - Plant | - use sunlight to make its own food -Photosynthesis -CO2 + H2O + light -> Sugar + O2 |
