Definitions of words in this unit (words follow the *)
use energy to "carry" substances into a cell*Active Transport
basic unit of structure and function in living things. It is the basic building block of life*Cell
double lipid layer that has proteins embedded in it*Cell Membrane
protects, supports movement of substances in and out of the cell (osmosis, diffusion, active transport)*Cell Membrane
gives protection and support*Cell Wall
found in plant cells*Cell Wall
not found in animal cells*Cell Wall
found in plant cells only*Chloroplast
green structures that are the site of photosynthesis*Chloroplast
process plants use to produce food*Photosynthesis
They contain chlorophyll which is a green pigment (makes plants green).
combination of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell*Chromatin
found in the nucleus; direct production of proteins in cell and responsible for cell growth and reproduction*Chromosome
process by which substances (other than water) move from a higher concentration to a lower one; no energy needed*Diffusion
named after Camillo Golgi, who discovered its presence in cells in 1898*Golgi Body
has a structure that looks like a flattened collection of sacs and tubes like a stack of pancakes*Golgi Body
These structures can be thought of as the cell's mailroom*Golgi Body
receive proteins and other newly formed materials from ER, package them, and distribute them*Golgi Body
usually only found in animal cells*Lysosome
small round structures involved in the digestive activities of the cell*Lysosome
contain enzymes that break down food molecules into usable substances which are passed on to mitochondria*Lysosome
digest old cell parts, recycling the components so they can be used again*Lysosome
clean up crew*Lysosome
"power house" of cell*Mitochondria
where energy is produced*Mitochondria
site of cellular respiration*Mitochondria
where food and oxygen are combined to produce energy (stored as ATP). Energy is released when an ATP molecule is broken apart.*Mitochondria
More active cells have more _____*Mitochondria
physical barrier in a cell*Double Lipid Bilayer
separates contents of nucleus from rest of cell*Nuclear Envelope
in nuclear envelope, which regulate material exchange*Nuclear pores
site where ribosomes are produced*Nucleolus
control center of the cell - directs all cell activities*Nucleus
Contains chromosomes which are made of chromatin which is composed of DNA (nucleic acids)*Nucleus
"blueprints" of life (instructions for all of the organisms' characteristics)*DNA
contains the Nucleolus*Nucleus
small round structure that makes ribosomes*Nucleolus
surrounded by the nuclear membrane (nuclear envelope)*Nucleus
specialized part of the cell, it means little organ*Organelles
diffusion of _water_ through a membrane*Osmosis
example: celery stay crisper when stored in water in the refrigerator*Osmosis
small round structures found on rough ER and floating around in cytoplasm*Ribosome
protein factories of the cell*Ribosome
involved in protein-making process in cell*Ribosomes
where amino acids are combined to make proteins our bodies need to survive*Ribosome
has ribosomes attached to its surface*Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
maze of tubular passageways throughout the cell*Endoplasmic Reticulum
The transportation system for the cell - helps to move substances through the cytoplasm (thick jelly-like substance that the organelles float in) of the cell*Endoplasmic Reticulum
There are two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum - rough and smooth,
does not have ribosomes attached to its surface*Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
thick jelly-like substance that the organelles float in*Cytoplasm
storage tanks for the cell - store water, food, waste, enzymes, etc.*Vacuoles
basic unit of structure and function in living things*Cells
arrangement of a particular set of items that are represented as being "above," "below," or "at the same level as" one another*Hierarchical
two or more organs working together in execution of a specific body function*Organ System
structure within a cell that carries out the various processes necessary for a cell to function properly*Organelles
life form such as animal, fungus, micro-organism, or plant that in some form is capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth, development and maintenance of homoeostasis*Organism
tendency for conditions inside an animal's body to stay pretty much the same even when outside environmental conditions (such as temperature) change*Homeostasis
A collection of tissues joined into a structural unit that serves a common function*Organs
type of cell that performs a specific function in multicellular organisms*Specialized cells
groups of these cells work together to form a tissue*Specialized cells
A tissue is an group of cells from the same origin that together carry out a specific function*Tissue
