Biology Ch.7 Test
| What is osmosis? | The movement of water molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration | Name two processed that bring things into the cell: | Endocytosis and exotytosis |
| Osmosis and diffusion will continue untill the cell dies or reaches: | Equalibrium | ||
| Made of a phospholipid bilayer composed of hydrophobic tails and hyrdrophilic heads | Cell membrane | ||
| Cell theory: | All organisms are composed of one or more cells | Cells maintain structure and function of organisms | Cells come only from other cells |
| Eukaryotic | Made of membrane-bound cells | Unicellular or multicellular | |
| Prokaryotic | Evolved first | Single-celled | Lack a nucleus |
| Disproved spontaneous generation | Louis Pasteur | "All animals are made of cells." | Theodor Schwann |
| "All cells come from existing cells" | Rudolf Virchow | "All plants are made of cells." | Matthias Schlieden |
| Funtion of the plant vacuole: | Storage, digestion, and waste removal | The organelle that transports substances throughout the cell | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| Function of mitochondria: | Provides the cell with energy | The organelle that makes ribosomes: | Nucleolus |
| Funtion of chloroplasts: | Captures light energy for photosynthesis | The organelle that has a nucleus and holds DNA | Chromosomes |
| The organelle that cleans up the cell and acts as the garbage man: | Central vacuole | What organelle is responsible for tugor pressure? | Cell wall |
| Semi-permeable to organic molecules, controls what enters and exits the cell | Cell membrane | This scientist observed that the cork was composed of tiny boxes: | Robert Hooke |
| Structure responsible for maintaining homeostasis | Cell membrane | This scientist was the first to describe organisms through a simple microscope: | Antony van Leeuwenhoek |
