| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Material inside the cell membrane but outside of the nucleus in which all of the organelles float. | Cytoplasm |
| The process of taking material into the cell by means of pockets of the cell membrane. The pocke breaks loose forming a vacuole within the cytoplasm. This is a form of active transport--requiring energy. | Endocytosis |
| Cells that have genetic material that is NOT contained in a nucleus | Prokaryotes |
| The structures inside the cell that act as specialized organs | Orangelles |
| A whip-like structure that provides a cell with the ability to move from place to place. | Flagella |
| Organelle found in cells of plants that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the process known as photosynthesis. | Chloroplast |
| Energy requiring process that moves material across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient. For example: from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. | Active Transport |
| Threadlike structure within the nucleus ontaining the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next. | Chromosome |
| Thin flexible barrier aroun a cell that regulates what enters and leaves the cell. | Cell Membrane |
| Surrounds the nucleus and controls what goes in and out of the nucleus through the nuclear pores | Nuclear envelope |
| Basic units of life | Cell |
| The organelle in the eukaryotic cell that is responsible for protein synthesis (manufacture). | Ribosomes |
| The process in which cells throughout an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks. Examples: Neurons--nerve cells. Red Blood Cells | Cell specialization |
| One of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome | Chromatid |
| Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. | Osmosis |
| Process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated. | Diffusion |
| Small, dense region within the nucleus of many cells that is the site where ribosomes are made. | Nucleolus |
| DNA bound to protein and contained in the nucleus of the cell | Chromatin |
| Cell organelle that stores water, food, proteins, or waste for movement inside and outside of the cell. | Vacuole |
| Strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae and some bacteria. | Cell Wall |
| The diffusion of particles or substances across the cell membrane without the use of energy. | Passive transport |
| Principle pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms. This pigment captures light energy. | Chlorophyll |
| Molecules that cannot diffuse across the cell membranes bilipid layer move through protein channels within the membrane instead. | Facilitated Diffusion |
| This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials as they come off the endoplasmic erticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell. The packaging and shipping center. Like FedEx! | Golgi apparatus |
