Questions and CORRECT Answers
Nucleus contains genetic information and regulates cell growth, metabolism, and
reproduction.
Mitochondria breaks down glucose producing energy (ATP)
Ribosome synthesizes proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum production of phospholipids
Lysosome Digest materials engulfed by cells
Cytoskeleton Helps transport molecules inside cell and binds to enzymes of metabolic
pathways
Golgi sorts, chemically modifies and packages proteins
Diffusion Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration.
Passive Process substances cross the membrane without any energy input from the cell
facilitated diffusion requires a carrier protein (Molecule)
Osmosis Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of
lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
Osmolarity describes fluid outside the body
, Osmolality describes fluids inside the body
Active Transport Ex. NA+ K+ pump, requires ATP (energy)
Endocytosis process of bringing a substance into cell that is too large. The cell membrane
engulfs.
Phagocytosis eats solid particles
Pinocytosis drinks liquid particles
Exocytosis release of material from the cell into cell membrane with the assistance of a
vessicle. Ex. Glands secrete hormones through exocytosis
Chromosomes located in the nucleus of the cell. There are 46 chromosomes in all normal human
cells, with the exception of mature sex cells, which have 23.
DNA contains the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.
Chromatin Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell that is wrapped
around histone proteins
base pairing Adenine+ Thymine, Cytosine+ Guanine
Genes DNA segments that serve as the key functional units in hereditary transmission.
Genotype genetic makeup of an organism
Karotype Gene blueprint
Genome the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic
material in that organism's chromosomes
Phenotype An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits.
proliferation The regulated process by which cells divide and reproduce.
Mitosis cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number
of chromosomes. (Creates Diploid)
