Term
Prokaroyte
Definition

a single celled cell, no nucleus or organelles

EX. BACTERIA

Term
Eukaryote
Definition
DNA IN NUCLEUS, EVERYTHING ELSE
Term
WHAT IS THE CELL THEORY?
Definition

1) ALL LIVING THINGS ARE MADE UP OF ONE MORE MORE CELLS

2) CELLS ARE THE BASIC UNITS OF LIFE

3) ALL CELLS COME FROM PRE- EXISITING CELLS

Term
ORGANELLE
Definition
A CELL STRUCTURE THAT PREFORMS A SPECIFIC FUNCTION
Term
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Definition
ONE PARENT, EXACT GENETIC COPY
Term
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Definition

TWO PARENTS

HALF CELLS "GAMETES"

Term
CELL MEMBRANE
Definition

1)FUNCTIONS TO SUPPORT THE CELL

2) ALLOWS SOME SUBSTANCES TO ENTER WHILE KEEPING OTHERS OUT 

Term

Definition
CONTAINS GENETIC INFO
Term
MITOCHONDRIA
Definition

 

POWER PLANTS OF CELL

Term
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Definition
FLUID FILLED TUBES THAT TRANSPORT MATERIALS EG. PROTEINS, THROUGH THE CELL
Term
vacuole
Definition
A SINGLE LAYER OF MEMBRANE ENCLOSING FLUID IN A SAC
Term
GOLGI BODIES
Definition

Term
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
Definition

Plant cells are square

Animal cells are circle 

Plant cell has one large vacuole 

A CELL WALL AND CHLOROPLASTS

(CHLORPHYLL GIVES LEAVES THEIR COLOUR AND IS WHERE PHOTOSYNTHESIS TAKES PLACE) 

Term
WHY DO CELLS DIVIDE
Definition

REPRODUCTION

GROWTH

REPAIR

Term
DIFFUSION
Definition
FROM A AREA OF HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION
Term
CONCENTRATION
Definition
AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE IN A SOLUTION
Term
what are carcinogens? and a example
Definition

any environmental factor that causes cancer, effects are not easily predicatable because it depends on a persons age, and overall health

Ex. tobacco, radiation (Xrays)

Term
specialized cell
Definition
a cell that can preform a specific function
Term
CELLS SHOULD NOT DIVIDE IF
Definition

1) DNA IS DAMAGED

2) DNA HAS NOT BEEN REPLICATED

3) NOT ENOUGH NUTRIENTS FOR CELL GROWTH

4) SIGNALS FROM SURROUNDING CELLS THAT THE CELL SHOULD NOT DIVIDE
