The transport of dissolved substances into cells. | ||
The breakdown of absorbed substances. | ||
The breakdown of food molecules with a release of energy. | ||
The removal of soluble waste materials. | ||
The removal of nonsoluble waste materials. | ||
The release of biosynthesized substances. | ||
Maintaining the status quo. | ||
Producing more cells. | ||
The study of cells. | ||
A rigid structure on the outside of certain cells, usually plant bacteria cells. | ||
The thin film between the cell walls of adjacent plant cells. | ||
The semipermeable membrane between the cell contents and either the cell wall or the cells surroundings. | ||
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended. | ||
Substances in which at least one atom has an imbalance of protons and electrons. | ||
The motion of cytoplasm in a cell that results in a coordinated movement of the cell's contents. | ||
The organelles in which nutrients are converted to energy. | ||
The organelles in animal cells responsible for hydroysis reactions that break down proteins, polysaccharides, disaccharides, and some lipids. | ||
Non-membrane-bounded organelles responsible for protein synthesis. | ||
An organelle of an extensive network of folded membranes that performs several tasks within a cell. | ||
ER that is dotted with ribosomes. | ||
ER that has no ribosomes. | ||
Organelles that store starches or oil. | ||
Organelles that contain pigments used in photosynthesis. | ||
A large vacuole that rests at the center of most plant cells and is filled with a solution that contains a high concentration of solutes. | ||
Vacuoles that contain the waste products of digestion. | ||
The process by which a cell engulfs foreign substances or other cells. | ||
A vacuole that holds the matter which a cell engulfs. | ||
Vesicle formed at the plasma membrane to allow the absorption of large molecules. | ||
Vesicle that holds secretion products so that they can be transported to the plasma membrane and released. | ||
The organelles where proteins and lipids are stored and then modified to suit the needs of the cell. | ||
Spiral strands of protein molucules that form a tubelike structure. | ||
A high-porous membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. | ||
Clusters of DNA, RNA and proteins in the nucleus of a cell. | ||
A network of fibers that hold the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement. | ||
Fine, thredlike proteins found in the cell's cytoskeleton. | ||
Threadlike proteins in the cell's cytoskeleton that are roughly twice as thick as microfilaments. | ||
A lipid in which one of the fatty acid molecules has been replaced by a molecule that contains a phosphate group. | ||
Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane according to the dictates of smosis or diffusion. | ||
Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane (typically opposite the dictates of osmosis or diffusion) aided by a process that requires energy. | ||
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of the cell which resides in the solution. | ||
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resides in the solution. | ||
Collapse of a walled cell's cytoplasm due to a lack of water. | ||
The rupuring of a cell due to excess internal pressure. | ||
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is less than that of the cell that resides in the solution. | ||
Energy necessary to get a chemical reation going. |
