Cell & Tissues
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The basic unit of the human body. | Cell |
| Are responsible for the entire organization of all body structures and for the continuation of life processes. The adult human body contains approximately 75 trillion cells | Cells |
| The outermost layer of the cell. It’s flexible and protects the entire cell by sealing tiny breaks in the membrane surface whenever they occur. | Cell membrane |
| Contains all of the living substances of the cell. It is a clear liquid that is alive with constant cellular activity | Cytoplasm |
| Often used in discussions regarding the human body—actually refers to the activity that occurs in the cytoplasm of each cell. | Metabolism |
| A tubular system within the cell that transports molecules. | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| Important for the processing of proteins, both within the cell itself and in other parts of the body. | Ribosomes |
| Located near the nucleus and responsible for distributing proteins the ribosomes processed. | Golgi Aparatus |
| Principal source of cellular energy. Contains the enzymes involved with electron transport and the citric and fatty acid cycles. | Mitochondria |
| Tiny membranous sacs that contain enzymes used to break down protein, carbohydrates, acids, and foreign substances that may enter the cell. | Lysosomes |
| Found most commonly in cells of the liver and kidneys. Mainly serve to break down toxic substances. | Peroxisomes |
| Vital for cellular reproduction. ______ distribute chromosomes, which carry deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) information to newly forming cells. | Centrosomes |
| Tiny projections that extend outward from cell surfaces. Responsible for cell movement and the movement of cell products. | Cilia and flagella |
| Membranous sacs that vary in size. _____ are actually an extension of the cell membrane that folds inward into the cytoplasm. | Vesicles |
| ______ are responsible for cell contraction. | Microfilaments |
| Located near the center of the cell. It’s responsible for directing all cellular activity, serving as the “brain” of the cell | Nucleus |
| The process of the nucleus dividing. | Mitosis |
| The first sign that mitosis is occurring is the appearance of chromosomes. _____ contain the DNA and protein molecules that give the cell its specific characteristics | Prophase |
| Chromosomes line up in an orderly fashion and prepare to divide. | Metaphase |
| The chromosomes actually divide and move apart from each other. | Anaphase |
| The divided chromosomes change in shape and size and a new nucleus forms around each set to complete the cycle. Two new cells have now been created. | Telophase |
| The division of the contents of cytoplasm. It begins during anaphase and continues through telophase. | Cytoplasmic Division |
| Is simply the continuation of cell growth from the time it becomes a new cell until mitosis occurs again. | Interphase |
| A complicated process that is best explained as the distinction of cell characteristics | Cell differentation |
| ______ serve as an internal cell “skeleton” that helps maintain the shape of a cell. | Microtubules |
