| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is cell theory? | 1. all living things are made up of one or more cell 2. cells are the basic unit of life 3. all cells come from existing cells |
| nucleus | holds the DNA and is the control center |
| autotroph | produces its own food |
| golgi body | where the proteins are stored |
| glucose | sugar |
| Vacuole | stores nutrients and water |
| cell | the smallest unit of life |
| ribosomes | they make proteins for the cell and are found in the cytoplasm or on the rought ER |
| heterotrophs | consumers the rely on autotrophs for food/energy |
| lysosomes | chemicals which digest waste products |
| cell membrane | controls what enters and exits the cell |
| cytoplasm | gel-like fluid inside of a cell made of mostly water and is in all cells |
| photosynthesis | the process the plants go through o make energy like simple sugars and energy |
| chloroplast | takes place in only plant cells ,contains chlorophyll for food and is GREEN in color |
| cell wall | provides support for and shape for plants cells and is mostly of cellulose |
| mitochondria | where respiration takes place and is called the powerhouse |
| mitosis | cell reproduction that occurs in the nucleus of the cell. enables the cell to make an exact copy of itself and is needed for growth, replacement, and repair |
| osmosis | the movement of water across the membrane |
| diffusion | the movement of materials across the cell membrane from areas of high concentration to lower concentration |
| respiration | all organisms break down simple sugars into water and carbon dioxide and release energy |
| endoplasmic ret. (ER) | a network of folded membranes that move materials throughout the cell. Is found around the nucleus and has two types ( rought and smooth ) |
| chlorophyll | pigment found in the chloroplast of the cell |
| energy | the ability to do work |
| Law of Conservation | matter is neither created nor destroyed |
| what is the equation for photosynthesis? | sunlight + water + carbon dioxide --> glucose + oxygen |
| what is the equation for respiration? | glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water |
| Waste Elimination | organisms rid the cells of waste products that could be harmful to the cell |
