Studied by 3 people
cell
The basic unit of structure and function in living things
Organelle
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
cell wall
strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane in some cells
cell membrane
A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
nucleus
Control center of the cell
mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
lysosome
A small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
chloroplast
organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
cytoplasm
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
photosynthesis
Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
mitosis
cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
chromosome
A threadlike, gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus. Each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins.
diffusion
Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
osmosis
diffusion of water
passive transport
The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy
active transport
the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy
cellular respiration
the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
ATP
(adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work
Structures and functions of organelles
Mitochondrion, Lysosome, Nucleus, chloroplast, cytoplasm
Inputs and outputs of photosynthesis
Inputs to photosynthesis: CO2, light, H2O Outputs: sugar, O2
Inputs and outputs of cellular respiration
inputs: Oxygen and Glucose outputs: Carbon Dioxide, water, ATP
Connection between photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP
Difference between passive and active transport
Passive doesn't require energy and active does
Reasons for mitosis
growth, repair, asexual reproduction
Organelles found in plant cells
ribosomes, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, cell membrane, lysosomes, cell wall, chloroplasts
Organelles found in animal cells
ribosomes, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, cell membrane, lysosomes
Correctly identify the stages of mitosis in the proper order
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Correctly draw and label a plant cell
Correctly draw and label an animal cell
