Cells & Energy
Cell Organelles and Energy Flow Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell wall | outer layer of a plant cell, used as structure and support |
| cell membrane | controls substances entering and leaving cells, barrier between inside and outside of cells |
| nucleus | found in eukaryotic cells, contains DNA, controls cell functions |
| cytoplasm | clear, jelly like fluid that holds organelles in place in all cells |
| mitochondria | site of energy conversion in plant and animal cells |
| vacuole | small structures that store waste, nutrients, and water in animal cells AND large, central structure that stores water in plant cells |
| chloroplast | site of photosynthesis in plant cells where light energy is converted to chemical energy |
| prokaryotic cell | small, simple cells that store DNA in cytoplasm such as bacteria |
| eukaryotic cell | larger, more complex cells that store DNA in a nucleus and have membrane bound organelles such as plant cells and animal cells |
| primary producer | also called autotrophs, make energy using sunlight |
| consumer | also called heterotrophs, obtain energy by eating other organisms |
| carnivore | organism that only consumes other animals for food |
| omnivore | organism that consumes both animals and plants for food |
| herbivore | organism that only consumes plants or algae for food |
| decomposer | organism that consumes and breaks down dead or decaying organisms for food |
| food chain | simple diagram showing energy flow in an ecosystem from one organism to the next, starts with a producer |
| food web | more complex diagram showing multiple food chains and more realistically show energy flow in an ecosystem, starts with a producer |
| energy pyramid | show the amount of biomass and energy available at each trophic level of a food chain |
| trophic level | where an organism is located in a food chain |
| symbiosis | a physically close, long lasting relationship between two or more organisms that benefits at least one organism |
| mutualism | a relationship between two or more organisms where all organisms benefit |
| commensalism | a relationship between two or more organisms where one species benefits and the other(s) are unaffected |
| parasitism | a relationship between two or more organisms where one species benefits by harming another |
