Terms : Hide Images
1062258005cell membranecontrols what comes into and out of a cell; found in plant and animal cells0
1062258006cell wallridged outer layer of a plant cell1
1062258007cytoplasmgel-like fluid where the organelles are found2
1062258008mitochondriaproduces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions3
1062258009lysosomesuses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts4
1062258010vacuolesstores food, water, wastes, and other materials5
1062258011golgi bodiesreceives proteins and materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them6
1062258012chloroplastscaptures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in a plant cell7
1062258013endoplasmic reticulum ERhas passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another8
1062258014ribosomesassembles amino acids to create proteins9
1062258015nucleuscontrol center of the cell; contains DNA10
1062258016nucleolusfound inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes11
1062258017chromatintiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instructions for directing the cells functions12
1062258018cell membranemembers only can come and go13
1062258019cell wallIm a brick wall14
1062258020cytoplasmsail through my plasma15
1062258021mitochondriaI am a "mighty" power house16
1062258022lysosomesi clean things up (lysol)17
1062258023vacuolesill store anything (vacuum bags)18
1062258024golgi bodiesim a GOLden packer19
1062258025chloroplastsmake me something sweet to eat20
1062258026endoplasmic reticulum ERim a transportER21
1062258027ribosomesi make "some" nice proteins22
1062258028nucleusim the control center23
1062258029nucleolus"control" of the number of "ribos" ; the little nucleus24
1062258030chromatinim a "tin" of information25
1062362672prokaryotessimpler, smaller, and usually independent26
1062362673cell theorystates that all cells come from other cells27
1062362674photosynthesisoccurs in chloroplasts28
1062362675lysosomes break downcarbs, lipids, proteins, and organelles29
1062362676smooth erproduces lipids30
1062362677cellular respirationoccurs in mitochondria31
1062362678lipid synthesisribosomes are involved32
1062362679diffusionmovement of particles from high concentration to low concentration; make concentrations equal33
1062362680active transportthe movement of materials against a concentration difference; requires ATP34
1062362681endocytosisinvolves moving large molecules into the cell35
1062362682nuclear membranesimilar to cell membrane because they are both semipermeable and made of lipids36
1062362684golgi appartusmodifies and sorts proteins37
1062483242osmosisdiffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane38
1062483243isotonicconcentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell39
1062483244hypertonicthe solution outside the cell has a higher solute concentration then the inside of a cell; net movement of water molecules out of the cell causes it to shrink40
1062483245hypotonicthe solution outside the cell has a lower solute concentration then inside the cell; a net movement of water molecules into the cell causes it to swell41
1062483246endocytosismoving molecules into the cell; membrane forms a pocket around a particle; pocket breaks from the outer portion of cell membrane; forms a vesicle with cytoplasm42
1062483247exocytosismoves particles out of cell; membrane of vesicle surrounds the material and fuses with the cell membrane; contents forced out of cell43
1062493064eukaryotesfound in multicellular organisms; has organelles and a nucleus; plant and animal cells44
