Q

Smooth ER

A

Lipid synthesis

19
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles

20
Q

Secretory Vesicle

A

Carries material produced in the cell to the plasma membrane where they are released

21
Q

Lysosome

A

Contains enzymes that digest materials taken into the cell

22
Q

Mitochondria

A

Sites of ATP synthesis

23
Q

Cilia

A

Moves substances over the surface of cells

24
Q

Flagella

A

move sperm cells

25
Microvilli
Increase the surface area of cells - Promote absorption and secretion of materials
26
Cytoplasm
The cellular material inside the plasma menbrane
27
Water Channels
Aquaporins
28
Hypotonic
Solution that has a lower concentration of dissolved substances and a higher concentration of water than the cytoplasm of the cell (+)
29
Hypertonic
Solution that has a higher concentration of dissolved substances and a lower concentration of water than the cytoplasm of the cell (-)
30
Lysis
Cell swelling
31
Crenation
cell shrinkage
32
Transcription
The process of forming mRNA from DNA by copying the DNA code.
33
Translation
Synthesis of proteins at the ribosomes in response to information contained in mRNA
34
Steps of Protein Synthesis
1. DNA is copied. 2. mRNA passes to the cytoplasm. 3. tRNA transports amino acids. 4. Proteins are formed.
35
Mitosis
Process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent cell.
36
Interphase
The period between active cell division - DNA found as thin strands of chromatin in the nucleus
37
Prophase
The chromatin condenses into chromosomes - centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell
38
Metaphase
The chromosomes align in the center of the cell - spindle fibers attach
39
Anaphase
The chromosomes move toward the poles of the cell
40
Telophase
The nuclear membrane reforms and the cytoplasm begins to divide into two cells
41
Differentiation
The process by which cells develop specialized structures and functions
42
Isotonic
same concentration of dissolved substances and water (=)
