Term
Cell Theory
Definition
1) All living things are made of cells.
2) Cells are the basic structure and function in living things.
3) All cells come from cells.
Term
Prokayotic Cell
Definition
A cell that lacks a nucleus and most other organelles.
Term
Eukaryotic Cell
Definition
A cell that has a nucleus and other internal organelles.
Term
Organelle
Definition
A part if a cell with a specific job.
Term
Plasma Membrane
Definition
Thin outer boundary of a cell that regulates traffic of chemicals between the cell and its surroundings.
Term
Phospholipid Bilayer
Definition
Two layer "sandwich" of molecules that surround a cell. Made of phosphate hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
Term
Selectively Permeable
Definition
Membrane that allows some substances to pass through more easily than others and blocks some substances pass all together.
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Stores the cell's DNA. Power center of the cell.A sphere that is surrounded by membrane.
Term
Nuclear Envelope
Definition
Carries molecules from commands of DNA. Controls the nucleus. Made of two layers of membrane with tiny holes called pores.
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Makes ribosomes for the cell. Ball like mass of fibers.
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
Helps maintain chemical environments inside organelles. A jelly-like fluid that contains organelles, mostly made of water.
Term
Cell Wall
Definition
Protective outer barrier in PLANT CELLS ONLY that is made of cellulose. It is rigid and contains holes.
Term
Ribosome
Definition
Construct Proteins in a cell. Made of a cluster of proteins and nucleic acids.
Term
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
Produce proteins in the process of being made. Extensive network of membranes with ribosomes bound to its surface. Next to the nuclear envelope.
Term
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
Makes lipid molecules for the cell. Extensive network of membranes that is smooth.Attached to Rough ER on the inside.
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
Modifies, stores and routes proteins and other molecules to their next destination. Series of flattened sacs that resemble pancakes.
Term
Active Transport
Definition
Movement of molecules across the membrane that requires enrgy in the cell.
Term
Vesicle
Definition
Small membrane bound sacs that function in moving products in,out and within the cell.
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
Active Transport:Process of exporting proteins from a cell by a vesicle fusing with the plasma membrane.
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
Active Transport:Process of taking materials into a cell within vesicles that bud inward toward the plasma membrane.
Term
Vacuole
Definition
Stores food, water, waste and building materials in a PLANT CELL. Membrane bound sacs full of water.
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Provide nutrients and act as saftey officers within the cell. ONLY IN ANIMAL CELLS. Membrane bound sacs that contain digestive enzymes.
Term
Chloroplast
Definition
Photosynthetic Organelles in PLANT CELLS.
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Sites where cellular respiration occurs. Two layers of membranes, the inside layer has lots of folds.
Term
ATP
Definition
Main energy source cells use for their work.
Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Divides the cytoplasm, gives shape and provides tracks to move the cell. Made of a network of fibers called microtubles and microfilaments.
Term
Cilia
Definition
Shorter and more numerous than flagellum, move cells.
Term
Flagellum
Definition
Thin-whip like structures that enable cells to move.
Term
Diffusion
Definition
Net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentrarion.
Term
Equilbrium
Definition
Point at which the number of diffusing molecules moving in one direction is equal to the ones moving in an opposite direction.
Term
Passive Transport
Definition
Diffusion across a membrane that doesn't require energy.
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
Pathway provided by transport proteins that help certain molecules pass through the membrane.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Passive Transport of water across a slightly permeable membrane.
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
Having a higher solute than another solute.
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
Having a lower concentration of solute than another solution.
Term
Isotonic
Definition
Having a solute concentration equal to the inside and outside.
