Terms
Definition
Cell   smallest structures to carry life  
🗑
Cytoplasm   semi-fluid in cells that holds the organelles  
🗑
Cytoplasmic Membrane   outline membrane of the cell (selectively permeable)  
🗑
Selectively Permeable   allows import/export of ONLY certain materials  
🗑
Neurotransmitters   stick to the surface of proteins and transmit the message of the cells  
🗑
Lymphocytes   white blood cells that are antibodies combine with antigens  
🗑
Antigens   potentially harmful proteins  
🗑
Mitochondria   small rod-shaped granules has double membranes power plant of the cell that is responsible for cellular respiration  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   network of canals that forms a link between the plasmic membrane important in protein synthesis  
🗑
Ribosomes   proteins that contain ribonucleic acid and enzymes used in protein synthesis  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   appear as flattened sacs; synthesizes carbs  
🗑
Centrioles   pairs of cylinders sitting at right angles; get rid of bacteria in the cell  
🗑
Nucleus   in the center of cell, controls activities of the cell  
🗑
Nucleoplasm   cytoplasm of the nucleus  
🗑
Chromatin   fibers in the cell that condense to make chromosomes  
🗑
Chromosomes   condensed chromatin, rod like chromatin contains DNA  
🗑
Nucleolus   in the nucleus where ribosomes are assembled and stores  
🗑
Microtubules   hollow tubes that form the apparatus and the cilia and flagella  
🗑
Microvilli   structures of epithelial cells made of projections of cytoplasm  
🗑
Cilia   moves constantly to move a liquid in one direction over the surface of the cell  
🗑
Flagella   hair like projections that grow from the surface of the cell to provide the cell with movement  
🗑
Physical Process   movement of ions through a membrane in a downhill gradient  
🗑
Gradient   degree of difference between two divided area of concentration  
🗑
Diffusion   scattering of particles  
🗑
Osmosis   diffusion of water through the membrane  
🗑
Net Diffusion   occurs from a high concentration area to a lower concentrated area  
🗑
Isonic Solution   solution that has the same osmotic pressure as the fluid inside the cell  
🗑
Hypotonic Solution   solutions with a lower osmotic pressure than the fluid in the cell  
🗑
Hypertonic Solution   solution that has a higher osmotic pressure and when a cell is placed in it water will leave the cell  
🗑
Filtration   net movement of fluid through a membrane  
🗑
Filtration Pressure   force of fluid pushing against a surface  
🗑
Dialysis   separation of solutions by their ability to pass through a semi-permeable membrane  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   molecules can move very rapidly from a highly concentrated are to a low concentrated area with the help of carrier molecules  
🗑
Active Transport   movement of molecules and ions against a concentration gradient and needs energy from ATP  
🗑
Catabolic Reactions   large molecules are broken down into smaller ones with the releases of energy  
🗑
Anabolic Reactions   small molecules are untied to form larger ones and consume energy; some energy becomes heat  
🗑
Metabolism   "protein cycle" food used to maintain/produce protoplasm  
🗑
Step 1: Metabolism   Absorption: organic substances pass into the cells of the body diffusion of materials throught the plasma membrane plasma membrane makes an indentation that sucks in large molecules (pinocytosis)  
🗑
Step 2: Metabolism   Cellular Respiration, chemical bonds are severed and amounts of energy released  
🗑
Step 3: Metabolism   utilizing energy in a living cell involves a universal intracellular carrier of chemical energy  
🗑
Catalyst   an agent that affects the speed of a chemical reaction without being permanently changed  
🗑
Coenzymes   enzyme activators  
🗑
DNA   double helix five carbon sugar 7 phosphate groups  
🗑
RNA   ribosome uracil no thymine  
🗑
Anticodon   a sequence of three bases  
🗑
Assimilation   process where the cell digests food to make protoplasm  
🗑
Mitosis   process of cell division  
🗑
Interphase   the cell has not started dividing  
🗑
Prophase   the chromatin condenses  
🗑
Chromatid   two daughter chromosomes that are joined at a single point  
🗑
Metaphase   the chromatids seperate  
🗑
Anaphase   the chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell  
🗑
Telephase   the nuclei  
🗑
Cytokinesis   the cell division is complete and the membrane forms  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
