Cell Biology Flashcards
what is the function of the nucles
controles the activty of the cell and holds the dna
function of the cytoplasm
where chemical reactions take place
function of the cell membrane
controles what gose in and out of the cell
function of the mitochondria
structure in the cytoplasm where energy is produced
fucntion of the ribonmes
where protines are made
function of the cell wall
protective layer which supports the cell
function of the cellulose
a carbohydrate makes the cell wall of plants
function of the vacuole
a fluid - filed cavity used for storage
function of the chloroplast
contains chlorophyll found in plants
what is a prokaryotic cell
organisms without a nucleus or organelles
what is a eukaryotic cell
cells with a nucles and subcelluar orgnells
function of the plasmid
samll cricle of DNA
definition of diffusion
movment of particles from a high concerntration to low concerntration
definition of osmosis
movment of paricals form a high concertration of water to a low concertration through a semi-permuble membrane
definition of active transport
the movment of substances against a concertrated gradient
