mitochondria Answer- the "powerhouse" of the cell, which transforms sugar into useful energy is called
cytoskeleton Answer- the system that helps the cell to maintain its shape and structural integrity is
organ system Answer- a group of organs that work together to complete the life function is called
pinocytosis Answer- the movement of bulk fluids across the cell membrane is called
active transport Answer- the use of cellular energy to transport material across the cell membrane
mitochondrion Answer- which organelle converts the chemical energy stored in food
into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use?
lysosome Answer- which organelle breaks down compounds into small particles that
the cell can use?
chloroplast Answer- you would NOT expect to find this in animals cells
the cell membrane (a bilipid layer) Answer- the boundary of all cells (including plants
and animals), which controls movement in and out of the cell
passive transport Answer- the movement of molecules across the cell membrane NOT requiring energy to be supplied by the cell
vacuoles Answer- the "garbage cans" of the cell
cytology Answer- the study of cells
cytoplasm Answer- this is NOT found in the nucleus
controls most of the cell's processes; stores DNA; contains the information needed to
make proteins Answer- these are functions of the nucleus
cell membrane Answer- a thin, flexible barrier that serves as the cell's boundary from its environment
Robert Hook Answer- The individual responsible for first seeing cells and giving them that name a nucleus, genetic material, specialized organelles Answer- eukaryotes usually contain these three things
ribosomes Answer- which organelle makes proteins using coded instructions that come from the nucleus?
nucleus Answer- which cell structure contains the cell's genetic material and controls many of the cell's activities, including transcription and replication?
water to move into the cell Answer- an animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causes...
ribosome Answer- an organelle found in the cytoplasm
chloroplast Answer- a very common chromoplast, which is directly involved in photosynthesis
an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration Answer- diffusion is the movement of particles from
eukaryotes Answer- contains a nucleus
support and protect the cell Answer- the main function of the cell wall is to
central vacuole Answer- the vacuole responsible for the water balance of a plant
Golgi Apparatus Answer- the organelle that processes and packages polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids
microtubules Answer- directly involved in the transportation of things in the cell
an organ Answer- a group of similar cells that perform a particular function
flagella Answer- long tubular extensions which aid in movement
Dna replication Answer- the nucleus is the site of
prokaryotes lack Answer- a nucleus
helps a cell keep its shape Answer- a function of the cytoskeleton
regulates which materials enter and leave the cell Answer- a function of the cell membrane
have a nucleus Answer- cells fall into two broad categories, depending on whether they...
colony Answer- a collection of cells, similar in nature, and living together bu NOT forming a single organism
