nucleus - ANSWER ✔✔a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA
and responsible for growth and reproduction
ribosomes - ANSWER ✔✔non membrane bounded organelles
responsible for protein synthesis
endoplasmic reticlum - ANSWER ✔✔a system of membranes that is
found in a cell's cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing,
and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids
,golgi bodies - ANSWER ✔✔They receive proteins and other newlly
formed materials from the ER, package them, and distribute them to
other parts of the cell
lysosomes - ANSWER ✔✔filled with enzymes used to break down
food into particles that can be used
vacuoles - ANSWER ✔✔saclike structures that store materials such
as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates in the cytoplasm
mitochondia - ANSWER ✔✔"power plants" of the cell; contain
enzymes and generators that break down food molecules and use the
energy released to produce ATP
chloroplasts - ANSWER ✔✔organelles that capture the energy from
sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called
photosynthesis
cytoskeleton - ANSWER ✔✔a microscopic network of actin filaments
and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell
shape and coherence
cilia - ANSWER ✔✔short structures projecting from a cell and
containing bundles of microtubules that move a cell through its
surroundings or move fluid over the cell's surface
, cell membrane - ANSWER ✔✔thin, flexible barrier around a cell,
regulates what enters and leaves the cell
cell wall - ANSWER ✔✔a rigid layer of nonliving material that
surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms
diffusion - ANSWER ✔✔process by which molecules tend to move
from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they
are less concentrated
osmosis - ANSWER ✔✔diffusion of water
isotonic - ANSWER ✔✔(used of solutions) having the same or equal
osmotic pressure
hypotonic - ANSWER ✔✔describes a solution whose solute
concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside a cell
hypertonic - ANSWER ✔✔describes a solution whose solute
concentration is higher than the solute concentration inside a cell
passive transport - ANSWER ✔✔The movement of materials through
a cell membrane without using energy
