Question 1

cell membrane

Answer 1

allows the cell to change its shape, controls the moving of materials in and out of the cell

Question 2

cell wall

Answer 2

gives the cell its shape. plants, fungi, most bacteria, and some protists have a cell wall, animal cells DO NOT.

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

found at the center of the cell, contains DNA, which controls cellular function

Question 4

Chloroplasts

Answer 4

capture solar energy for photosynthesis

Question 5

Golgi bodies

Answer 5

modify, sort, and ship proteins and lipids

Question 6

Mitochondria

Answer 6

turns food into energy (ATP)

Question 7

Ribosomes

Answer 7

makes protein to be used by an organism

Question 8

homeostasis

Answer 8

the balance of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Question 9

passive transport

Answer 9

the movement of materials across the cell membrane without the use of the cell’s energy.

Question 10

Diffusion

Answer 10

the movement of substances across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration

Question 11

osmosis

Answer 11

the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane.

Question 12

Facilitated transport (Facilitated diffusion)

Answer 12

occurs when a carrier molecule embedded in the cell membrane transports a substance across the membrane by means of diffusion

Question 13

Active transport

Answer 13

a process that drives large molecules across the cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration

Question 14

Endocytosis

Answer 14

a process in which a cell surrounds and takes in material from its environment

Question 15

Exocytosis

Answer 15

a process by which a cell surrounds and removes materials from inside the cell

Question 16

Answer 16

sugar

Question 17

mono

Answer 17

one

Question 18

oligo

Answer 18

few

Question 19

poly

Answer 19

many

Question 20

cyto

Answer 20

cell

Question 21

osis

Answer 21

process or action

Question 22

cytoplasm

Answer 22

jelly-like goo inside of the cell to provide shape for the cell

Question 23

cytoskeleton

Answer 23

the internal skeleton of the cell

Question 24

Pilus

Answer 24

small hairlike structures used for attaching to other cells

Question 25

Capsule

Answer 25

a tough outer layer that protects bacteria, often associated with harmful bacteria

Question 26

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 26

processes packages and releases proteins; proteins are transported in vesicles

Question 27

Lysosome

Answer 27

contains digestive enzymes that can break things down, also called a "suicide sac" because the rupturing of the lysosome will cause the cell to destroy itself

Question 28

Vacuole

Answer 28

storage area for water and other substances, plant cells usually have a large central vacuole

Question 29

taxonomy

Answer 29

science of classifying organisms

Question 30

lipids

Answer 30

structural components of the cell membrane, is an energy storehouse, and function as important signaling molecules

Question 31

phylogenetic tree

Answer 31

shows evolutionary relationships of organisms with common ancestors

Question 32

alleles

Answer 32

different flavors of genes (B or b)

Question 33

homo (dominant)

Answer 33

same (BB)

Question 34

hetero

Answer 34

different (Bb)

Question 35

homo (recessive)

Answer 35

same (bb)

smooth ER

Answer 36

has no ribosomes, produces lipids, cholesterol, and hormones

Question 37

rough ER

Answer 37

has ribosomes, produces proteins,
