Cytology Flashcards
What type of organism:
1 cell
Ex. Bacteria, algae and fungi
Colonial
Unicellular
What type of organism:
Made of many cells
Depend on each other
Plant, animal, and human cells
Multicellular
Where do bacteria store their genetic material
Nucleoid Region
What is a system of fibers within the cell that provides structure
Cytoskeleton
What organelle reads RNA to assemble a protein
Ribosomes
Genetic material of a nucleus
Chromatin
A strand of DNA with proteins
Chromosome
Genetic code of all organisms
DNA
Equal or same concentration
Isotonic
High concentration
Hypertonic
Low concentration
Hypotonic
Isotonic
Equal or same concentration
Hypertonic
High concentration
Hypotonic
Low concentration
What type of cell:
Lacks a true nucleus
Non membrane bound
Prokaryotic
What type of cell:
“True Nucleus”
Membrane and non membrane bound
Eukaryotic
The movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration
Diffusion
The diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane
Osmosis
What is a membrane that allows both the solute and the solvent to pass through
Semi Permeable Membrane
What recieves substances from the ER and packages them into membrane sacs called vesicles and sends them to ither parts of the cell
Golgi Apparatus
What is:
“Powerhouse”
Center of cellular respiration
Cristae
Mitochondrion
What make up the cytoskeleton
Microtubules
What are the structures inside if a plant cell’s chloroplast
Thylakoids
What are stacks called grana
Thylakoids
