Cell Structure is bb

Cell Structure

QuestionAnswer
Cells Basic Unit of life
Cell theory A Fundamental concept of bioligy
Nucleus a large membrane enclosed structure that contains the cells genetic material in the form of DNA
Eukaryotes Cells that contain Nuclei
Prokaryotes Cells w/o nuclei
Organelles Small organs inside cells
Cytoplasm The portion of the cell outside the nucleus
Nuclear Envelope is composed Composed of two membranes
Chromatin The granular material in the nucleus
Chromosomes Distinct threadlike structures that contain gentic imformation
Nucleolus the small dense refion in nuclie
Ribosomes Small particles of RNA and protein found throught the cytoplasm
Endoplasmic Reticulum An internal membrane systm, ER is the site where libids are assembled along with protein and other materuals that are exported from the cell
Golgi apparatus where proteins in the ER transfered to, Golgi apparatus modifies sorts and packages the proteins
Lysosomes Small oorganelles filled with enzymes
Vauols Store materuals in plant cells
Mitochondria Organelles that convert the chemical energy in food into compounds that are more convient for the cell to use
Chloroplasts Organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through Photosynthesis
Cytoskeleton The supporting structure that gives plant cells their shape
Centrioles located near the nucleus and help to organize cell divisions not found in plant cells
Cell membrane a thin flexible barrior that surrounds cells
Concentration The mass of the solute in a given volume of solution
diffusion whre solute moves from more concentrated to less concentrated area
Cell wall strong supporting layer around the membrane
Libid bilayer double layer sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes
equilibrium when the concentration of a solution is equal throught
osmosis diffusion of water through a selectively pernable membrane
isotonic when the concentrations are the same on both sides of the meembrane
hypertonic the more concentrated part on eiter side of the membrane
hypotonic the less strenth solotion on either side of the membrane
facilitaed diffusion movement of specific molecules across the cell membrane through protein channels
active transport when materials move matrial in oppostie direction
Endocytosis the process of taking materia; into the cell by means of infoldings or pockets of the cewll membrane
phagocytosis extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it with in a food vacule
pinocytosis tiny pockets form along the cell membrane fill with liquid and pinch off to form vacules
exocytosis the membrane of the vacule surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane forcing the contents out of the cell
cell specialization cells through out an organisms can develope in different ways to perform differrent tasks
tissue group of cells that perform a particular fuction
organ many groups of tssues that work together
organ stystem many groups of organisms that perorm a specific task

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.
