25
What is the nuclear envelope dotted with
Thousands of nuclear pores, which allow material to move in and out of the nucleus
26
What is chromatin
Consists of DNA bound to proteins and is a grainy material that you can spread throughout the nucleus
27
When are chromosomes formed
When chromatin condenses
28
What is the nucleolus
Small, dense region within most nuclei where the assembly of ribosomes begins
29
What are ribosomes
Small particles of RNA and protein found in cytoplasm
30
What are assembled on ribosomes
Proteins
31
How do ribosomes produce proteins
By following coded instructions from the nucleus
32
What is endoplasmic reticulum
The site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported
33
Where is the ER found
In a eukaryotic cell
34
What is the portion of the ER involved in the synthesis of proteins
The rough ER
35
What is the rough ER abundant in
Cells that produce large amounts of protein for export
36
What does the smooth ER contain
Collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks
37
What does the Golgi apparatus do
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell. Discovered by Camillo Golgi
38
Where do the proteins go after they leave the Golgi apparatus
To their final destination
39
What are lysosomes
Small organelles filled with enzymes
40
What is one function of lysosomes
The digestion of lipids, carbs, and proteins into small molecules. And they break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness
41
What do lysosomes remove from the cell
Junk
42
What do vacuoles in plants help support
Heavy structures
43
Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have two
Membranes
44
What is the cytoskeleton
A network of protein filaments that help the cell maintain its shape. Is also involved in movement
45
What are two of the principal protein filaments that make up the cytoskeleton
Microfilaments and microtubules
46
Where are centrioles located
Near the nucleus and help in cell division
47
Centrioles are not found where
In plant cells
48
All cells have cell membrane made of what
Proteins and lipids
49
Some cells have cell membranes and cell walls what are some examples
Plants, fungi, and bacteria
50
Plant cell have a cell wall made out of _______, that is a fiber in our diet
Cellulose
51
Bacteria and fungi have cell walls but do not contain
Cellulose
52
Cell membranes and cell walls are _____, allowing water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nutrients to pass through easily
Porous
53
Cell membranes help cells maintain
Homeostasis
54
What is the process that does not require energy to move molecules from a high to low concentration
Passive transport
55
What is diffusion
The movement of SMALL particles across a selectively permeable membrane until equilibrium is reached
56
What is facilitated diffusion
The movement of LARGE molecules like glucose through the cell membrane-larger molecules must be helped
57
What is osmosis
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane
58
Diffusion particles move from an area of _____ concentration to an area of ______ concentration
High to low
59
In osmosis water diffuses across a membrane from ____ concentration to _____ concentration
High to low
60
A semi-permeable membrane is permeable to water not
Sugar
61
In facilitated diffusion molecules pass through
Protein channels
62
What is a hypertonic solution
Contains a high concentration of solute relative to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it shrivels
63
What is hypotonic solution
Contains a low concentration of solute relative to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution it seals and possibly explodes
64
What is an isotonic solution
Contains the same concentration of solute as another solution. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution the water diffuses in and out of the cell at the same rate causing it to stay the same
65
What is the movement of molecules from a low to high concentration
Active transport
66
No energy is needed for
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
67
Energy is needed for
Active transport
68
What is the mechanism by which very large molecules get into and out of the cell
Endocytosis and exocytosis
69
Food is moved into the cell by
Endocytosis
70
Wastes are moved out of the cell by
Exocytosis
71
What are unicellular organisms
Single called organisms
72
What are multicellular organisms
Multi called organisms
73
What are multicellular organisms specialized to perform
Particular functions within the organisms
74
What are the levels of organization in a multicellular organism
1. Individual cells, 2. Tissue, 3. Organs, 4. Organ systems
75
What are organs
Many tissues that work together
76
What are organ systems
Groups of organs
77
Converts chemical energy into food compounds, the powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
