| 358854409 | Respiration | The breakdown of glucose to form ATP when oxygen is available. | 1 | |
| 358854410 | Respiration (equation) | C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP | 2 | |
| 358854411 | Diffusion | Molecules move from a high to low concentration gradient. It is slow but does not require energy. | 3 | |
| 358854412 | Cilia | Tiny hair like projections that extend out of the cell membrane. These cili beat in unison to remove particles from our airways. | 4 | |
| 358854413 | Exocytosis | Exports large molecules out of the cell when a vesicle fuses with the cell membrane releasing its contents outside the of the cell. | 5 | |
| 358854414 | Cytoskeleton | Microtubules and microfilaments that are found throughout the the cytoplasm, these give the cell support and maintain the shape of the cell. | 6 | |
| 358854415 | Selectively permeable | The cell membrane allows some molecules through and not others. | 7 | |
| 358854416 | Rough ER | ER with ribosomes attached. The ER is a network of tubes that run from the nucleus to the cell membrane. Rough ER are commonly found in cells that produce large amounts of protein for export. | 8 | |
| 358854417 | Golgi body | Five flattened stack of membrane that modify to store and route products to their next destination. | 9 | |
| 358854418 | Golgi apparatus | Alternative name for Golgi body. | 10 | |
| 358854419 | Mitochondria | Oval shaped organelle with highly folded inner membrane. This is the site of aerobic respiration in the cell where most ATP is produced. | 11 | |
| 359145380 | Isotonic Solution | A concentration that is the same as that that found inside the cell. No net movement of water occurs in this situation. | 12 | |
| 359145381 | Nucleus | Contains and protects DNA. It is known as the cells control centre. | 13 | |
| 359145382 | Chloroplast | Photosynthetic organelles that trap sunlight energy and convert it into glucose. They contain grana and stroma. | 14 | |
| 359145383 | Cytoplasm | A jelly like substance that fills the cell from the cell membrane to the nucleus, it is the site of many cellular reactions. | 15 | |
| 359145384 | Hypertonic Solution | A strongly concentated solution. A cell in this solution would lose water by osmosis. | 16 | |
| 359145385 | Hypotonic Solution | A weak solution. A cell in this solution would gain water by osmosis. | 17 | |
| 359145386 | Facilitated Transportation | Molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration with the help of transport proteins embedded in the cell membrane. Does not require energy. | 18 | |
| 359145387 | Lactic Acid Fermentation | Produces 2 ATP molecules. Occurs in animal muscle when exercising at a high level. | 19 | |
| 359145388 | Eukaryote Cells | These cells have a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. | 20 | |
| 359145389 | Endocytosis | A method of engulfing large molecules into the cell. The cell membrane surrounds he particle and draws it into the cell in a vesicle. | 21 | |
| 359145390 | Nuclear Membrane | Double membrane with pore to allow large particles in and out of the nucleus. | 22 | |
| 359145391 | Osmosis | Passive movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. | 23 | |
| 359145392 | Plasma Membrane | Another word for cell membrane. | 24 | |
| 359145393 | Photosynthesis | A process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy. The reactants are water and carbon dioxide and the products are glucose and oxygen. | 25 | |
| 359145394 | Ribosomes | Found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These are involved in the making of proteins. They can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. | 26 | |
| 359145395 | Vacuoles | Found in the cytoplasm, these are involved in transport. | 27 | |
| 359145396 | Organelle | Part of a cell with a specific function. | 28 | |
| 359145397 | Flagella | Long whip like projections that extend from the cell membrane. These enable unicellular organisms to move when flicked. | 29 | |
| 359145398 | Active Transport | Molecules move from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient against the concentration gradient. | 30 | |
| 359145399 | Lysosomes | Membrane bound sacs that contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes breakdown molecules and recycle cell parts. | 31 |
