17
Q

Flagella

A

9+ tube for movement

18
Q

Cellular respiration

A

Carbohydrate + oxygen > carbon dioxide + water + energy = cellular respiration

19
Q

Vescicle

A

Small sacks that are released by the golgi apparatus after it adheres to the outer cell membrane. vesicles are important to the process of exocytosis

20
Q

Nucleus

A

Control center for the cell. contains hereditary information

21
Q

Genes

A

Units of instruction located on chromosomes that produce or influence a specific trait in an individual

22
Q

Nucleolus

A

A small spherical structure located inside the nucleus

23
Q

Respiration

A

The chemical process in which nutrients are broken down to provide energy

24
Enzymes
Protein molecules that speed up the rate of chemical reactions
25
Proteins
The structural components of the cells
26
Amino acids
Organic chemicals that contain nitrogen. amino acids can be linked together to form proteins
27
Exocytosis
The passage of large molecules through the cell membrane to the outside of the cell
28
nucleus
Surrounded by it's own Nuclear membrane
29
Nucleolus
Central mass inside nucleus, surrounded by a porous nucleolar membrane. This membrane protects ribosomal subunit production.
30
Exocytosis
Leaving the cell
31
Endocytosis
Entering the cell
32
Hydrolysis
Using water to break chemical bonds
33
Dehydration
Removing water to allow ions/bonds to form
34
Protein synthesis part 1
Instructions (enzyme) in nucleus (and nucleolus)
35
Protein synthesis part 2
The dab is opened and copied into a "page" called mRNA (messenger)
36
Protein synthesis part 3
mRNA leaves the nucleus via nuclear pores
37
Protein synthesis part 4
mRNA goes to ribosomes ( often rough ER.. Not always)
38
Protein synthesis part 5
Ribosome copies the mRNA using tRNA ( transfer or transport)
39
Protein synthesis part 6
Proven moves to Golgi body by Vescicle or via microtubule to a different location in the cell.
40
Protein synthesis part 7
Golgi body combines packages of similar proteins
41
Protein synthesis part 8
Larger exocytotic Vescicle full of proteins
42
Protein synthesis part 9
Vescicle folds into cell membrane, proteins evicted.
