| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell | Were the basic units of life. |
| Cell Theory | Fundamental concept of biology. |
| Nucleus | Is a large membrance-enclosed structure that conains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA. |
| Eukaryotes | Cells that contain nuclei. |
| Prokareotes | Cells that do not contain nuclei. |
| Organelles | Specialized organisms "little organs" |
| Cytoplasm | Is the portion of the cell outside the nucleus. |
| Nuclear envelope | Is dotted with thousands of nuclear pores, which alows paterial to move into and out. |
| Chromatin | Consists of DNA bound protein. |
| Chomosomes | When cells divides, chromatin condense. |
| Nucleolus | Where the assembly of ribosomes begins. |
| Ribosomes | Small particales of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm. |
| Endoplasmic Retitculm | The site where lipids components of the cell membrance are assembled. |
| Golgi apparatus | To modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage of cell or secretion outside the cells. |
| Lysosmes | Are small organelles filled with enzymes. |
| Vacuoles | Store materials such as water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates. |
| Mitchondria | Are organelles that convert the cemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. |
| Chloralplast | Capture energy from the sun for plants. |
| Cytoskeleton | Network of protein filaments that help the cell to main tain its shape. |
| Centrioles | In cell divion. |
| Cell Membrance | A thin Flexible barrier where cells are surounded. |
| Cell Wall | Doube layer sheet for the cell membrance. |
| Liquid Bilayer | Two layers of lipids. |
| Concentration | The mass of a solute in a given volume of solutions. |
| Diffusion | Less concentrated. |
| Equilibrium | Concentration of the solute is the same throughout a system. |
| Osmosis | Water |
| Isotonic | Same Strength |
| Hypertonic | Above Strength |
| Hypotonic | Below Strength |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Molecules such as glucose that cannot diffuse across the cell membrance. |
| Endocytosis | The process taking material into cell. |
| Phagocytosis | "Cell Eating" |
| Pinoytosis | Forms vacules |
| Exocytosis | Membrance of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrance. |
| Cell Specialization | Develop in different ways to perform different tasks. |
| Tissue | Form a particular function. |
| Organ | Groups of tissue. |
| Organ System | A group of organs that work together to perform a specific function. |
