1884716010What is the function of the cell membrane?Keeps all the pieces of the cell together0
1884716011What is the function of the holes in the cell membrane?To let some things move in and out of the cell1
1884716012What are the 2 molecules that make up the cell membrane?Proteins and phospholipids2
1884716013What is the function of the proteins in the cell membrane?To help molecules move in and out of the holes in the cell membrane3
1884716014What term do scientists use to describe the organization of the cell membrane?A fluid mosaic4
1884716015What is the term for the water liking heads of a phospholipid?Hydrophilic5
1884716016What does hydrophobic mean?Does not like water6
1884716017Name 2 organelles that have a membraneLysosome and endoplasmic reticulum7
1884716018Name an organelle that has 2 membranesMitochondrion8
1884716019Name the 2 types of proteins found in the cell membranePeripheral and Integral9
1884716020How are integral proteins arranged in the membrane?Permanently connected to the cell membrane10
1884716021Where are peripheral proteins found?Crossing the membrane11
1884716022Which does a cell have more of- peripheral proteins or integral proteins?Peripheral12
1884716023Who were the 2 scientists that first developed the Fluid Mosaic Model?Singer and Nicolson13
1884716024State the 3 principles of the cell theory1. Cells are the basic unit of life 2. All organisms are made of one cell or more. 3. All cells arise from existing cells14
1884716025Name the scientist who termed the phrase "cells"Robert Hooke15
1884716026What is the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic?Hydrophilic heads are things like water and hydrophobic tail things do not like water16
1884716027How does a cell membrane accommodate the hydrophobic tails and the hydrophilic heads- what is the arrangement of the phospholipids in the membrane?The heads are exposed to the watery parts and the tails are kept dry17
1884716028What is a prokaryote?Cells that don't have a nucleus18
1884716029Give an example of a prokaryoteBacteria19
1884716030What is a eukaryote?Cells that have a nucleus20
1884716031Give an example of a eukaryotePlant and animal cells21
1884716032What is the term for the make up of the membrane- it describes the way the membrane is flexible and made of different materials.The cell membrane22
1884716033Cell theoryThe idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things and new cells and are produced from existing cells23
1884716034Cell membraneThin flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves cells24
1884716035Lipid bilayerDouble-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes25
1884716036ChromosomeThreadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information that is passed fro one generation of cells to the next26
1884716037NucleusThe center of the atom which contains the protons and neutrons; in cells, structure that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities27
1884716038RibosomeSmall particle in the cell on which proteins are assembled; made of RNA and protein28
1884716039NucleolusSmall, dense region within most nuclei in which the assembly of proteins begins29
1884716040ProkaryoteSingle-celled organism lacking a nucleus30
1884716041EukaryoteDomain of all organisms whose cells contain nuclei31
1884716042CytoplasmMaterial inside the cell membrane - not including the nucleus32
1884716043OrganelleSpecialized structure that performs important cellular functions wihin a eukaryotic cell33
1884716044ChloroplastOrganelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy34
1884716045CytoskeletonNetwork of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movements35
1884716046MitochondriaCell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use36
1884716047Endoplasmic reticulumInternal membrane system in cells in which lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified37
1884716048Golgi apparatusStack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum38
1884716049OsmosisDiffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane39
1884716050DiffusionProcess in which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated40
