Hannah

Answer 1

Calkins

Question 2

Organelle

Answer 2

A structure that performs important functions within an eukaryotic cell. For example the mitochandria.

Question 3

Cell membrane

Answer 3

Thin flexible barrier around a cell,regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Like the balloon skin with vanilla inside.

Question 4

Cell wall

Answer 4

Supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants algae and some bacteria. The snap you here when you break celery is the cell wall breaking.

Question 5

Chlorophyll

Answer 5

Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy

Question 6

Cytoplasm

Answer 6

Material inside the cell membrane not including the nucleus.

Question 7

Mitochondria

Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. Mito lighto

Question 8

Nucleus

Answer 8

Structure that contains the cells genetic material (DNA) and controls the cells activities. In the center if the cell.

Question 9

Antigen

Answer 9

Protein marker on cell membrane. The “ID tag”on a cell.

Question 10

Diffusion

Answer 10

Process by which molecules tend to move from a area of high concentration to an area where they are less concentrated. The vanilla diffused out of the balloon in the balloon lab.

Question 11

Osmosis

Answer 11

Diffusion of water through Selectively permeable membrane.

Question 12

Cellular respiration

Answer 12

Energy releasing process. O2+glucose to co2+water+ATP

Question 13

Photosynthesis

Answer 13

Biochemical food making process.

Question 14

Chloroplast

Answer 14

Organelle found in cells in plants that takes sunlight and turns it into chemical energy. Looks like stacks of pancakes.
