| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| All living things are made of these | Cells |
| this states that all living things are composed of cells Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things All cells come from preexisting cells | The Cell Theory |
| All cells are separated from their surroundings by this | Cell Membrane |
| The cell membrane is surrounded by this | Cell Wall |
| In many cells we can see a large dark structure called | Nucleus |
| Organisms whose cells lack nuclei | Prokaryotes |
| Organisms whose cells contain nuclei | Eukaryotes |
| Surround the nucleus are two membranes that form the | Nuclear Envelope |
| Most nuclei contain a small region called | Nucleolus |
| The DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells attached to special proteins and forms large structures called | Chromosomes |
| this is the area between the nucleus and the cell membrane | Cytoplasm |
| The structure in the cytoplasm are generally called | Organelles |
| this changes the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use is called | Mitochondrion |
| This traps the energy of sunlight and converts it into chemical energy | Chloroplast |
| The structures in which proteins are made | Ribosomes |
| Many cells are filled with a complex network of sacs known as | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| The protein is first moved into special compartments called | Golgi Apparatus |
| small membranes bordered structures that contain chemicals and enzymes necessary for digesting certain materials in the cell is called | Lysosomes |
| Plant organelles that may take many forms, one of which is the chloroplast, an organelle we have already mentioned | Plastids |
| Many cells contain saclike structures called | Vacuoles |
| Uncovered framework known as | Cytoskeleton |
| The driving force behind the movement of many substances across the cell membrane called | Diffusion |
| We can describe most biological membranes known as | Selectively Permeable |
| The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane is called | Osmosis |
| Many molecules are transported across a membrane in the direction of lowest concentration by a carrier protein this process is called | Facilitated Diffusion |
| An energy-requiring process that enables material to move across a cell membrane against a concentration difference is called | Active Transport |
| One of the key characteristics of cells in a multi-cellular organism is called | Cell Specialization |
| A group of similar cells that perform similar functions is called | Tissues |
| A group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function, is need is called an | Organ |
| A group of organs, works together to perform a certain function is called | Organ System |
