cell theory
All cells arise form preexisting cells
Cells can carry out the processes of life
Organisms are made of cells that function together
cell
The ____ is considered to be the basic unit of life

nucleus
The ____ of the cell is responsible for the activites of the cell regarding DNA, has its own membrane which allows for the passage of materials and proteins needed for DNA replication

Responsible for the production of proteins
Can be free or bound to the outer membrane of the ER
rough endoplasmic reticulum
The ____ has ribosomes attached to the outer surface, it is also produces the proteins
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The _____does not have ribosomes attached and works to transport proteins out of the cell

____ are often termed "suicide sacs of the cell" because of their involvement with digestion within the cell.
-besides digesting proteins, also break down parts of the cell that are no longer needed
vacuoles
most known for their ability to store materials
mitochondria
_____ are thought to be the powerhouses of the cell because of their ability to produce the energy needed for life.
cristae
folds of the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called ___
chloroplasts
Present in plants, contains a substance called chlorophyll to carry out the process of photosynthesis
cytoskeleton
provides structure and shape to the cell
cilia/flagella
these structures are not present within the cell. Instead they are located outside of the cell and allow the cell to move
cell wall
Present in plant cells, the cellulose-containing ____ helps to give the plant cell rigidity
diffusion
Particles naturally move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration this process is called ____.
osmosis
Water can diffuse across a membrane in a process called ____
Isotonic solution
concentration are the same inside and outside of the cell
hypotonic solution, swell, burst
In a _____, the solution outside the cell has a lower concentration of solutes than the solution inside the cell. Water moves from outside solution into the cell in an attempt to dilute concentrations in the cell. This causes the cell to ___ and/or ___
hypertonic, shrivel, shrink
In a _______, the outside solution has a high concentration of solute than the cell. Water leaves the cell in an effort to dilute the outside solution. This causes the cell to ___, and ___
passive
____transportation that occurs from a high concentration to a low concentration naturally and without any additional energy input
active transport
_____ take place when materials need to be moved from an area of low concetration to one of high concentration.Because this works against the natural process, the cell must use energy to carry out this process
organic
_____molecules are carbon based
inorganic
without carbon
organic
Examples of ____ include lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
inorganic
Examples of _____ substances include ions, iron, calcium and water
water
_____ is considered to be the universal solvent and can dissolve a large range of substance that are polar or contain ions
cohesive forces
forces between the same molecules
adhesive forces
forces between different molecules
carbohydrates
____are organic compounds that contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. They are major sources of energy in the body.
monosaccarides
Simplest sugars are called ____
ex. glucose and fructose
dehydration synthesis
The combination of monosaccharides to from disaccharides and starches occurs with the removal of water via a _______
proteins
long polymer chains called polypeptides built from amino acid subunits linked by peptide bonds.Every amino acid contains a central carbon with an amino group
enzymes
___ are examples of complex proteins that function to regulate the rate at which reactions occur. They are catalysts that aim to lower the amount of energy it takes for a reaction to occur
saturated
If a fat chain contains all single bonds, the fat is classified as ___
unsaturated
If there is a double bond in the fat chain, the fat is classified as ____
glyercol, 3 fatty acids

___are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.
-contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen along with nitrogen and phosphorus atoms as well
phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar, nitrogen base
Each nucleic acid contains a _____, _____ and a _____
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
The molecule that supplies energy for living things is called _____
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
____is the macromolecule in cells that codes for how amino acids form proteins
