Cells, Diffusion, & Osmosis (4)

Question 1

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 1

Puts together proteins, transports molecules, and creates lipids (fats).

Question 2

Lysosome

Answer 2

Digests and removes waste products within the cell.

Question 3

Mitochondria

Answer 3

Location for cellular respiration to produce ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate)
Cellular respiration is the process of turning Glucose and Oxygen into energy the cell can use.

Question 4

Nucleus

Answer 4

Contains genetic material (chromosomes)

Question 5

Cytoplasm

Answer 5

Viscous jelly-like liquid throughout the cell

Question 6

Nucleoplasm

Answer 6

Viscous jelly-like liquid inside the Nucleus

Question 7

Cell Membrane

Answer 7

Gatekeeper and cell boundary, controls what comes in and out of the cell.
The process is referred to as Diffusion and Osmosis.

Question 8

Ribosome

Answer 8

Uses amino acids to produce proteins.

Question 9

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 9

Storage and secretion.

Question 10

Nucleolus

Answer 10

Produces parts of ribosomes, which are important for the production of proteins in the cell.

Question 11

Vacuole

Answer 11

Storage of molecules.

Question 12

Cell wall

Answer 12

Found in plant cells, provides additional structure for the plant and protection for the cell

Question 13

Chloroplasts

Answer 13

Location in the cell for photosynthesis

Question 14

Diffusion

Answer 14

The movement of atoms/molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Question 15

Osmosis

Answer 15

Movement of solvent (typically water) across a semi permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration

Question 16

What is solvent?

Answer 16

Solvent is a substance capable of dissolving or dispersing other substances
