Cell S & F
The Cell Structure and Function
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the theory that forms the basic framework in which biologists have tried to understand living things? | Cell Theory |
| What are the three basic structures in cells of plants and animals? | Cell membrane, Nucleus, Cytoplasm |
| What regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also aids in the protection and suport of the cell? | Cell Membrane |
| What helps to protect and support the cell? | Cell Wall |
| What is the organelle that controls the cell's activities and contains DNA? | Nucleus |
| What is the membrane that surrounds the nucleus of a cell? | Nuclear Envelope |
| What are threadlike structures in a cell that contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next? | Chromosomes |
| What is the area between the nucleus and cell membrane of a cell? | Cytoplasm |
| What are cell structures that perform a a specialized function within the cell? | Organelles |
| What is the organelle that changes chemical energy stored in food into compounds that can be used by the cell? | Mitochondrion |
| What is the organelle that converts sunlight into chemical energy in plants? | Chloroplast |
| What are the organelles in which proteins are made? | Ribosomes |
| What is the complex network that transports materials throughout the inside of a cell? | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| What is the organelle that modifies, collects, packages, and distributes molecules made at one location of the cell and used at another? | Golgi Apparatus |

| What is the framework of the cell composed of a variety of filaments and fibers that support cell structure and drive cell movement? | Cytoskeleton |
| What is the process by which molecules of a substance move from areas of higher concentration fo that substance to areas of lower concentration? | Diffusion |
| What is the description of a biological membrane that allows some substances to pass through but not others? | Selectively Permeable |
| What is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration? | Osmosis |
| What is the diffusion of materials across a cell membrane assisted by carrier molecules? | Facilitated Diffusion |
| What is an energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference? | Active Transport |
| What are groups of similar cells that perform a particular function? | Tissues |
| What is a group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function? | Organ |
| What is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function? | Organ System |
