Chapter 4 - Biology

Study Guide

QuestionAnswer
Cell Theory - Every living organism is made of one or more cells - Cells are the basic unit of life - All new cells arise from preexisting
Cell Wall F - Provide support/frame for organelles as well protect S - Made of polysaccharides
Central Vacuole F - maintain water balance, store molecules, provide turgor pressure (push out) cytoplasm to keep stand S - Large membrane sac, filled with water and molecules
Chloroplast F - where photosynthesis happens S - Has three layers --> (1) Out: keep organelle separate from cytoplasm. (2) In: Photosynthesis happens
Chromosome Rod shaped structures
Cilium F - Move entire cell through fluid or more fluid past cell S - Short (10 - 25 um) and numerous when present
Cytoplasm F - Contained dissolved protein, amino acid, nucleic acids, fatty acids, ion, sugar, etc S - Gel like cytosol (liquid) with all organelles and structures within
Cytosol Liquid portion of both pro and euk
Desmosome F - Attached animal cell together S - Only in animal cells
Endomembrane system Endo - internal Group of membrane and organelles inside eukaryotic cells
Endoplasmic reticulum F - Work together to produce modify, package, and transport lipid and protein S - Series of connected membrane sacs and tubes
Eukaryote Surrounded by a membrane and cell wall, plastid, chloroplast, and central vacuole
Extracellular matrix F - Hold cells together to form a tissue and helps in cell-to-cell communication
Flagellum F - Typically move cells through fluids S - Long (50 - 75 um) usually one or two present
Gap Junction F - Communicate between two or more cells S - Only in animal cells
Golgi Apparatus F - sort, tag, modify, and package protein and lipid before sent elsewhere S - Set of stacks flatten membrane sacs
Lysosome F - Have digestive enzymes that help break down biological molecules S - small membrane sac
Microscope Used to view cells and their parts
Mitochondria F - Break down small biological molecules (sugar, fats, and protein) and concert their energy into ATP S - Two layers: Outer -protective enclosure and Inner has many folds and molecules for cellular respiration for function
Nuclear envelope F - Protect and isolate DNA from rest of cell S - double membrane surrounding DNA (chromatin)
Nuclear pore F - Allow water, ion, and small molecules in and out of nucleus S - small opening through double membrane
Nucleoid region Area of cell
Nucleus F - where ribosome is made, other protein is made in cytoplasm using ribosomes S - Dark circle surrounded by nuclear envelope and pore
Organelle Cell organs
Peroxisome F - contains molecules that breaks down fatty acids and amino acids, some can detoxify certain poison like alcohol S - Small round organelles made of one single membrane
Plasma membrane F - control movement of molecules in and out of cell S - Membrane is made from a phospholipid bilayer
Plasmodesma Plasmodesmata (plural) F - Communicate between two or more cells F - In plant cells
Prokaryote Has specific type of vesicles and vacuoles, cilia and flagella
Ribosome F - help make protein
Rough endoplasmic F - Produce protein destine for other membrane or for secretion S - Membrane tube/sac with ribosomes sacs
Smooth endoplasmic F - Synthesize carbohydrate lipid and steroid hormones, Detoxify some medication and poison, storage of calcium ion for contraction in muscle cells S - Membrane tube/sac with no ribosome
Tight junction F - make leak proof connection between cells
Vacuole F - Maintain water balance, store molecules, provide turgor pressure (make a stiffness for plants and standing) S - Large membrane sac
Vesicle F - Can fuse with other membrane, used for storage or transport S - Small membrane sac - one layer of membrane
Both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic has Plasma membrane, cytoplasm consists of cytosol and other cell components, ribosomes, and cytoskeleton
Cytoskeleton • F – Maintain and changing cell shape, providing movement for organelle and cell, and help on cell division • S – Three type of protein fibers

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
