QuestionAnswer
all organisms are made of cells, all existing cells are produced by other living things, and the cell is the most basic unit of life cell theory
jellylike substance that contains dissolved molecular building blocks such as proteins, nucleic acids, minerals, and ions cytoplasm
structure inside a cell that distinct processes within the cell, most are surrounded by membrane, largest in cell is usually the nucleus organelles
cells that do not have a nucleus or other mambrane-bound organelles, DNA is suspended inm cytoplasm, most are microscopic single-celled orgamisms prokaryotic cells
cells that have a nucleas and other membrane-bound organelles, usues nucleus for info, may be multi-cellular or single celled eukaryotic cellsq
network of proteins that is constantly changing to meet the needs of a cell, covers a eukaryotic cell, and is made of small protein subunits that form fibers cytoskeleton
storehouse for most of the genetic info, or DNA in the cells, its major 2 demands are: DNA must be protected and accessible at all times nucleus
interconnected network of thin folded membranes, membranse for a maze called the lumen, performs production of protein and lipids endoplasmic recticulum
tiny organelles that link amino acids together to form proteins, site of protein synthesis, made of protein and RNA pass through pores of the cytoplasm ribosome
closley layered stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces that process, sort, and deliver proteins, membranes containenzymes that make additional changed to proteins and packaages proteins golgi apparatus
general name used to descride small membrane-bound sacs that divid some materials from the rest transports the material from place to place in the cell vesicle
supplies energy to the cell, bean shaped, has 2 membranes, converts molecules for food into energy mitochondria
fluid-filled sac used fof the storage of water, food molecules, inorganic ionsm,and enzymes needed by a cell, is small in animal cells, but takes up one cell in a plant vacuole
membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes, defend a cll from bacteria and viruses, break down damaged cell parts, and numberous in animal cells lysome
: 2 are in the centrosome, cylinder-shaped organelles, made of short microtubes arranged in a circle, and 2 are perpendicular in the cell centrole
rigid layer that surrounds and gives protection, support, and shape to the cell, multi can adhere to each other Cell wall
organelles that carry out photosynthesis chloroplast
forms a boundary between a cell and the outside environment and controls the passage of materials into and out of a cell, consist of a double layer of phospholipids with other molecules cell membrane
molecule composed of: charged phosphate group, glycerol, and 2 fatty acids phospholipid
scientist-created model that describes the agreement of the molecules that make up a cell membrane, in this model: the membrane is flexible and phospholipids are able to move/slide fluid-mosaic model
property of a cell membrane that allows some, but not all materials through enables a cell to maintain homeostasis in spite of changing conditions in the cell selective permeablity
protein that detects a signal molecule and bind to a certain molecules called ligand receptor
movement of molecules across a cell membrane without energy input from the cell, may as be the diffusion of molecules across a membrane passive transport
movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration and results from motion of particles diffusion
difference in concentration of a substance from one location to another concentration gradient
process in which water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from and area of higher water concentration to a lower one osmosis
solution that has the same concentration of dissolved particles as a cell isotonic
solution that has a higher concentration of dissolved particles than a cell hypertonic
solution with a lower concentration of dissolved particles than a cell hypotonic
diffusion of molecules across a membrane through transport proteins and makes it easier for a molecule to enter/exit a cell facilitated diffusion
energy that drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a higher one, process uses transport proteins powered by chemical energy active transport
process of taking liquids or fairly large molecules into a cell be engulfing them in a membrane, pocket is made for substance to slip through endocytosis
type of endocytosis in which the cell membrane engulfs large particles phagocytosis
the opposite of endocytosis, releases substances out of cell by the fusion of a vesicle with a membrane , vesicle is formed around particles in cell and is let go exocytosis

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
