Cell Structure and

Cell structure and function

QuestionAnswer
Cell Basic unit of Life
Cell Theory fundemental concept of biology
Nucleus a large membrane-enclosed structure that contains the cell's activities
Eukaryotes Cells with a nuclei
Prokaryotes cells without a nuclei
Organelle Little organs
Cytoplasm The portion of the cell out side the nucleus
Nuclear Envelope Layer of two membrane that encloses the nucleus of a cell
Chromatin granular material inside a nucleus
Chromosomes Condense chromatin after the cell divides
Nucleolus small dense region inside the nucleus
Ribosomes makes proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum an internal membrane systemin a Eukaryotic cell
Golgi Apparatis modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
Lysosomes small organell filled with enzymes
Vacuoles stores minerals such as water,salts,proteins, and carbohydrates
Mitochondria convert chemical energy stored in food
Chloroplasts capture the sun's energy and convert it to chemical energy
Cytoskeleton supporting structure of a cell
Centrioles help organize cell division
Cell Membrane thin flexible barrier surrounded the cell
Cell Wall strong supporting cell membrane
Lipid Bilayer double-layered cell membrane
Concentration The mass of a given solute in a given volume of solution
Diffusion A more concentrated area moves to a less concentrated area? Spread Out evenly
Equlibrium When concentration of the solute is the same everywhere
Osmosis water can pass easily through cell membrane when other stuff can't
Isotonic when water and sugar is the same on both sides
Hypertonic when sugar is more concentated than water
Hypotonic Sugar is less concentrated than water
Facilitated Diffusion Where molecules move through protein channels
Active Transport moving molecules in the opposite direction
Endocytosis Taking molecules into the cell by having pockets they fall in or other little tricks
Phagocytosis cytoplasm surroundes a paticle into a food vacoule
Pinocytosis Tiny pockets form along the cell membrane
Exocytosis The membrane of a vacule sorroundng the material fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell
Cell Specialization cells develope different ways to perform tasks
Tissue Similar cells grouped into units
Organ tissues work together to form an organ
Organ system a group of organs form a organ system to perform a certain function

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
