577216294Nuclear EnvelopeHolds nucleus together (can be reffered as a membrane)1
577216295LysosomeDigestion Center2
577216296MitochondriaSite of cellular respiration where ATP is made3
577216297RibosomeSite of RNA translation where proteins are made4
577216298CytoplasmJelly like substance within cell5
577216299VacuoleStores water and dissolved minerals6
577216300Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumSurface for chemical activity, carries and transports materials throughout the cell (No Ribosomes)7
577216301Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumEmbedded with ribosomes, Surface for Chemical activity, carries and transports materials throughout the cell8
577216302Cell MembraneLipid Bilayer with proteina that seperates the cell from its surroundings and controls entry into and out of cell9
577216303CillaHair-like structures for locomotion10
577216304Cell WallShapes and supports a plant cell and made of cellulose11
577216305CentrioleStar shaped structure involved in cell division of animal cells12
577216306ChloroplastSite of photosynthesis where glucose is made in plants13
577216307Golgi BodyPackages what is made in the endoplasmic reticulum, Stores and releases chemicals14
577216308NucleusContains DNA, chromosomes are found here15
577216309NucleolusSpherical body within nucleus where ribosomes are made16
577216310Robert HookeScientist that, used the word 'cell' to describe the empty spaces in cork when looking under a microscope. (1665)17
577216311Robert BrownIn the1800's discovered the nucleus of cell18
577216312Cell Theory1. All living things are made up of one or more cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3. All cells come from other cells.19
577216313Fluid Mosaic Model1. Membranes are fluid and have the consistency of vegetable oil 2. Lipids and proteins of the membrane are always in motion 3. Proteins in and on the membrane form mosaics20
577216314ProkaryotesOrganisms without a nucleus in the cell. The cell still performs all the necessary functions21
577216315EukaryotesOrganisms with a nucleus in the cell22
577216316SemipermeableCertain molecules can pass through the membrane23
577216317Concentration gradientDifference between the concentrations of molecules in one area to the concentration of molecules in another area.24
577216318DiffusionMovement of molecule from area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (small molecules move this way)25
577216319OsmosisWhen water moves across the semipermeable cell membrane. Water moves up the concentration gradient. Water will move across the membrane from lower concentration to the higher solute concentration, From High H2O pressure to low H2O pressure26
577216320Hypertonic solutionConcentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell27
577216321Hypotonic solutionConcentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell28
577216322Isotonic solutionConcentration of solutes outside the cell equals the concentration inside the cell29
577216323Facilitated DiffusionUse of carrier proteins for diffusion, does not require energy for a molecule to travel across the membrane Moves molecules from high to low solute concentration30
577216324Active TransportWhen energy is used to transport molecules across the membrane against the concentration gradient Uses ATP Moves molecules from low to high solute concentration Use of protein31
577216325Bulk TransportMoving large molecules that are too large to cross the membrane into (endocytosis) or out of (exocytosis) the cell32
577216326Gap JunctionsUsed for transport from one cell to another (Plasmodesmata in Plant Cells)33
577216327Globular ProteinsProteins involved in transport and cell communication34
577216328Simple DiffusionMolecules can travel through the membrane without an opening or ATP moves molecules from high to low solute concentration35
577216329PlasmolysisCell Membrane of plant cells collapses to the point that it is irreversible, the plant cell is hypotonic to the solution that extracted its water36
577216330LyseRuptured cells, breaking down when too much water enters a cell and it ruptures, because an influx of water37
577216331TonicityWhether or not something is hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic38
615450199PhagocytosisUsed for Food, type of Endocytosis, process in which extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulf large particles and take them into the cell39
615450200PinocytosisUsed for Liquids, type of Endocytosis, process by which a cell takes in liquid from the surrounding environment40
620476707TurgidFirm cell, cell walls are filled with as much water possible, rounded shape41
620476708FlaccidLiquid is exiting out of the plant cells, can lead to plasmolysis, shriveled shape42
