Chapter 6 Flashcards
What is cell division
Mitosis
What is protoplasm
A substance in which cells of all living thing are composed. Colorless, jelly like substance where food elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and water are present
What is an organelle?
Tiny organs floating in cell. Has the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum which allows the other organelles to move and provides protein for the skin
Nucleus
Active protoplasm found in center of cell
Nucleoplasm
Within the nucleus of the cell. A fluid that contains protein and DNA
Cytoplasm
All the protoplasm of a cell except that found in the nucleus. It contains the food material necessary for cell growth, reproduction and self repair
Cell membrane
Part of the cell that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave
Mitosis
Cell division, happens when the cell divides into 2 daughter cells. Body doesn’t grow if cell doesn’t divide
Cell metabolism
Chemical process that takes place in living organisms. Cells are nourished and carry out their activities
Anabolism
Is constructive metabolism. The process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones
Catabolism
Phase of metabolism when complex compounds within the cells are broken down into smaller ones
Tissue
Collection of similar cells that perform a particular function
Connective tissue
Supports, protects and binds together other tissues of the body
Adipose tissue (fat)
Gives smoothness and contour to the body. Collagen and elastin in the connective tissue
Mitochondria
Heart and lungs of cells. Beginning of skin. Speaks to cells that make the skin and stimulates the fibroblast(makes collagen and elastin which gives shape and form to skin
