| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell | The smallest unit that can preform all life processes. |
| Cell Membrane | A phosolipid layer that covers a cells surface; acts as a baarrier between the inside of a cell and the cells enviorment |
| organelle | one of the smallest bodies in a cells cytoplasm that are specialized to preform specific functions |
| nucleus | in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane bound organelle that contains the cells DNA & has a role in process such as growth, metabolism, & reproduction |
| prokaryote | an organism that contains of a single cell & doesnt have a nucleus. |
| Eukarote | an organism made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed by membrane; eukaryotes include animals, plants, & fungi. |
| cell wall | a Rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane & provides support to the cell |
| Ribosome | cell organelle composed of RNA & protein. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | a system of membrane that is found in a cells cytoplasm &that assists in the production, processing, & transport of proteins & in the production of lipids |
| mitochondria | in Eukaryotic cells the cell organelle that is surroundsed by two membranes & that is the site cellular resperation. |
| Golgi Complex | cell organelle that helps make the package materials to be transported out of the cell. |
| vesicle | A small cavity or sac that contains materials in a eukaryotic cell |
| lysosome | a cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes |
| tissue | A group of simmilar cells that preform a common function |
| organ | a collection of tissues that carry out specialized functions of the body. |
| organ System | A group of organs that work together to preform body functions. |
| organism | a living thing; anything that can carry out life processes |
| Structure | the arrangment of parts in a organism |
| function | the special, normal, or proper activity of an organ or a part |
| diffusion | the movement of particals from regions of higher density to regions of lower density. |
| osmosis | the diffusion of water through a semi-premerable membrane. |
| passive transport | the movement of substances across the cell membrane without the cell to use energy |
| Active transport | The movement of substances across the cell membane that requires the cell to use energy |
| Endocytosis | The process by which a cell membrane surrrounds a particle & incloses it in a vesicle to bring the partical into the cell |
| exocytosis | the process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface & fuses with the cell membrane. |
| photosynthesis | the process by which plants, alge, & some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, & water to make food. |
