Term
Mitochondria
Definition
cell's power house -- creates energy!
Term
Nucleus
Definition
brain and command center, where the DNA is stored
Term
Smooth (ER) Endoplasm Reticulum
Definition
transportation system like roads, no ribosomes
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
makes protein
Term
Cell Wall
Definition
gives support and protection (only in plant cells)
Term
Vacuole
Definition
stores materials (water in plant cells)
Term
Chloroplasts
Definition
makes food for the plant cell, using chlorophyll
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
gel where parts float (space in between)
Term
Plant cells have these two organelles, but animal cells don't.
Definition
Cell Wall and Chloroplasts
Term
What makes plant cells stronger than animal cells?
Definition
Plant cells have cell walls and layer like bricks, leaving no space in between.
Term
True/False: Plant cells have smaller vacuoles than animal cells.
Definition
False
Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
protects cell, lets some substances pass through and prevents others
Term
Chromosomes
Definition
Made of DNA, rod-like structures inside nucleus
Term
Nuclear Membrane
Definition
like cell membrane but surrounds the nucleus
Term
Rough (ER) Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
transportation system, like roads, has ribosomes
Term
Chlorophyll
Definition
green pigment in chloroplasts, necessary for photosynthesis
Term
Tissues
Definition
made of cells
Term
Organs
Definition
made of tissues
Term
Organ systems
Definition
made of organs
Term
Organisms
Definition
made of organ systems
Term
Diffusion
Definition
process by which substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (FREE)
Term
Selectively Permeable
Definition
lets some substances in and keeps out others, this describes the cell membrane

Process of Photosynthesis
Term

Definition
Process of Respiration
Term

6 CO2 + 6 H2O +(Sun) = C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + SUNĀ = Carbs + Oxygen

Definition
Photosynthesis
Term

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O +ENERGY

Carbs + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

Definition
Respiration
Term
What are theĀ 7 Characteristics of Living Things?
Definition

1. All life comes from other living things

2. All life has cells

3. All life can move (in some way, may be sssslow)

4. All life has metabolism

5. All life grows

6. All life responds to their environment

7. All life reproduces

Term
Digestion
Definition
process where food is broken down into simpler substances
Term
Respiration
Definition
Process where organisms take in oxygen and make energy
Term
Excretion
Definition
Process of getting rid of wastes
Term
Ingestion
Definition
Process of eating food
Term
Organelles
Definition
the "mini" organs of cells
Term
DNA
Definition
genetic material (blueprints for cell)
Term

True/False: Metabolism includes respiration.
Definition
True
Term
True/False: Chloroplasts are only in animal cells.
Definition
False - Only in plant cells
Term
True/False: Ribosomes make cytoplasm.
Definition
False - Make protein
Term
True/False: Viruses do not contain cell thus they are not living things.
Definition
True
Term
True/False: The rough ER is covered in chloroplasts.
Definition
False - covered in ribosomes
Term
True/False: The nucleus is in the center of the cell because it is dangerous.
Definition
False - Because it needs to be protected
Term
True/False: Vacuoles are only in animal cells.
Definition
False - In both animal and plant cells, just much bigger in plant cells
Term
True/False: All living things must be able to grow
Definition
True
Term
True/False: The nuclear membrane is selectively permeable.
Definition
True
Term
True/False: The cell membrane lets all substances in.
Definition
False - It is selectively permeable.
Term
Active Transport
Definition
Process where substances are moved into/out of a cell but it requires energy ($NRG)
Term
True/False: Sugars and salts are often moved by diffusion
Definition
False - by active transport
Term
True/False: Water is often moved by diffusion
Definition
True
Term
True/False: Respiration takes place in mitochondria
Definition
True
Term
True/False: Photosynthesis takes place in chlorophylls
