Question | Answer |
cytoplasm | living matter contained in each cell |
centrioles | paired organelles - function in cell reproduction |
lysosomes | protect cell - digestive enzymes - eat microbes |
microvilli | fingerlike projections - increase absorptive area of cell |
flagella | single whiplike projection - (sperm cells) used for movement |
mitochondria | involved in energy-releasing chemical reactions Power plant of cell - contains 1 DNA molecule |
Golgi apparatus | flattened sacs near nucleus. Chemical processing and packaging. Collect and move chemicals from endoplasmic reticulum outward to plasma membrane |
Cell nucleus | controls all cell functions - contains DNA Components: Nuclear envelope; nucleoplasm; nucleolus; chromatin granules. |
Plasma membrane | outer boundary of cell composed of phospholipids containing protein. Selectively permeable. |
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Network of connecting sacs and canals. Carry substances through fluid cytoplasm. |
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | Synthesizes chemicals. Makes new membrane. |
Rough endoplasmic reticulum | Collects, folds and transports proteins made by ribosomes. |
diffusion | substances scatter themselves evenly in available space. No energy needed for this process. Movement is from high to low concentration. Examples: Osmosis and dialysis. |
Filtration | Movement of water and solutes caused by hydrostatic pressure on one side of membrane. (urine formation) |
element | A pure substance - composed of only one atom |
compound | substance made up of more than 1 element |
matter | anything that has substance and occupies space and has mass |
Positively charged particles within atomic nucleus | protons |
Negatively charged particles within atomic nucleus | neutrons |
covalent bond | occurs when atoms share electrons |
collagen is a... | protein |
glycogen is a... | carbohydrate |
RNA is | nucleic acid |
cholesterol is a... | lipid |
NaCl is a... | salt |
HCl is a... | acid |
NaOH is | base |
H2O + CO2 --> H+ + HCO2- (which compound is a reactant?) | CO2 |
Solution with an excess of hydrogen ions is | acid |
pinocytosis | cell transport mechanism incorporates fluid or dissolved substances, trapping them in a plasma membrane pocket, pinches them off inside the cell. Pino a Greek word meaning "drink". |
ATP | adenosine triphosphate - molecule that breaks apart in muscle cells to yield energy for muscle contraction. |
Osmosis | diffusion of water BUT not solutes (substances dissolved in water) across a selectively permeable membrane. |
tonicity | Describes different concentrations of solutes interacting with solvents or other solutes. |
Diffusion | Passive transport mechanism. |
Osmosis | passive transport mechanism |
Dialysis | passive transport mechanism |
Filtration | passive transport mechanism |
ion pump | active transport mechanism |
phagocytosis | active transport mechanism |
cystic fibrosis | disease caused by inability of cells to transport chloride ions |
translation | the process in protein synthesis that uses information in mRNA to build a protein molecule |
transcription | the process in protein synthesis that forms the mRNA molecule |
Name the 4 main tissues of the body | epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous |
gene | a segment of base pairs in a chromosome |
genome | the total genetic information packaged in a cell |
endoplasmic reticulum | tubelike passages that carry substances throughout the cell |
Golgi apparatus | chemically processes and packages substances from the endoplasmic reticulum |
prophase | 2nd stage of mitosis wherein chromatin condenses into chromosomes |
telophase | 5th stage of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope and nuclei appears |
metaphase | 3rd sage of mitosis in which the chromosomes align in the center of the cell. |
anaphase | 4th stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes move away from the center of the cell. |
interphase | the period of cell life in which DNA replicates in preparation for mitosis. |
