Term | Definition |
organelle | small part of a cell |
eukaryote | cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
nucleus | control center of the cell |
plasma membrane | outer layer of all cells; controls what goes in and out of cells |
cell wall | creates rigid support and structure for only plant cells |
mitochondria | where cellular respiration takes place to create ATP |
vacuoles | water storage |
chloroplasts | where photosynthesis takes place to create sugar for plants |
ribosome | site of protein synthesis |
prokaryote | cells with no nucleus or membrane bound organelles |
folded membranes | increases surface area |
DNA | codes for proteins |
plant cell | contains cell walls, chloroplasts, large vacuoles, and are box shaped |
animal cells | contains small vacuoles, centrioles, and are sphere shaped |
bacteria - contains cell walls, circular DNA, very small simple and old cells | prokaryotes |
present in all cells | DNA, cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm |
differentiation | stem cells become different types of cells in multicellular organisms |
stem cells | undifferentiated cells |
nerve cell | relays electrical signals to other body parts |
blood cells | carries oxygen to other body parts |
muscle cells | allows for body movement |
sperm cell | male reproductive cell |
homeostasis | maintaining balance |
buffers | helps to maintain the pH |
active transport | requires energy to moves molecules across the cell membrane from high to low concentration |
passive transport | no energy is required to move molecules across the cell membrane from low to high concentration |
osmosis | movement of water from high concentration to low concentration |
hypotonic | solution that causes a cell to take in water and swell |
hypertonic | solution that causes a cell to release water and shrink |
isotonic | solution that allows a cell to maintain size |
diffusion | movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration |
sodium potassium pump | pump which removes 3 sodium from a cell and then lets 2 potassium in the cell; requires ATP |
semi-permeable | only certain things are allowed into or out of the cell |
G1 & G2 | parts of the cell cycle that allows the cell to grow while maintaining normal function |
S Phase | part of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated |
Mitosis | making an exact copy of a cell |
cytokinesis | splitting of the cytoplasm during cellular reproduction |
prophase | 1st phase of mitosis; nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes become visible, spindle fibers develop |
metaphase | 2nd phase of mitosis; chromosomes line up along equator |
anaphase | 3rd phase of mitosis; chromosomes begin moving toward opposite sides of the cell |
telophase | 4th phase of mitosis; nuclear membrane develops, spindles disappear, chromosomes go back to chromatin |
asexual reproduction | daughter cells are an exact copy of the parent cell |
