Human Cells
inner workings of a cell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adenosine Triphosphate | The way we store energy |
| Energy Currency | Glucose |
| Bonds | They contain energy |
| Anaerobic Catabolisim | With out O2 |
| Aerobic Catabolism | With O2 |
| Plasma/Cell membrane | Hold Cell shape/Selectively Permeable |
| Cytoplasm | Gel like/ Surround and Support Organelles |
| Nucleus | Control Center/Genetic Info |
| Ribosomes | Protein Synthesis |
| Chromatin | Thread Like Structures: Genetic Material |
| Mitochondria | Convert Nutrients to ATP(power of Cell) |
| Centrioles | Help to separate the Chromosomes During Mitosis |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Transport highway, Rough Ribosomes synthesize protein |
| Golgi Apparatus | Package Protein |
| Lysosomes | House Keeping in the Cell, Phagocytosis |
| Cilia | Movement over the cell surface "fine fingers" |
| Flagella | Tail, not on all cells, mostly on the sperm cell |
| Diffusion | Particles go from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (no energy required) |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Helper molecule "moves" the glucose across the membrane. (no energy used) |
| Osmisis | The water moves from an area with more water to an area with less water. (passive process) |
| Endocytosis | intake of food or liquid by the cell membrane. |
| Phagocytosis | cell eating solid particles |
| Pinocytosis | Cell drinking or taking in fluid (required energy) |
| Exocytosis | Particles or liquid exit the cell by being wrapped in a capsule for release (requires energy) |
| Active Transport Pumps | move substances from an area of low concentration to an area of High concentration (requires energy) |
