50 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Control center of the cell. It contains the cell's DNA

Nucleus

Site of most of the cell's ATP production

mitochondrion

site of protein synthesis

ribosome

contain enzymes that detoxify chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide

peroxisome

hairlike extensions from the plasma membrane that propel the cell (makes it move)

cilia

Single extensions from a cell that propels the cell itself


flagella

The only cell in the human body that has flagella


(in the cell naturally)

flagella

Area that contains cytosol and organelles

cytoplasm

contains digestive enzymes that break down different substances within the cell


(cell digestion)

lysosome

central area of the cell containing centrioles

centrosome

Rough Endoplasmic reticulum contains what other organelle


(Rough E.R)

ribosome

Series of membranes; modifies proteins made by the ribosomes

rough ER

site of liquid and cholesterol synthesis and metabolism; drug and toxin detoxification

Smooth ER

The movement of a solute from a area of high concentration to a low concentration

Diffusion

The movement of a solvent from a solution with lower solute concentration to a solution with a higher concentration through a selectively permeable membrane


(water follows the salt)

osmosis

continual process of growth and replication of cells

cell cycle

portion of the cell cycle during which growth is initiated and DNA is replicated

interphase

Portion of the cell cycle during which the cell divides its organelles, cytosol, and replicated DNA two identical daughter cells

mitosis

What attaches to the chromosomes and pull them to the opposite poles of the cell

mitotic spindle and spindle fibers

What factors influence the rate at which diffusion takes place?

size of the particles


temperature


steepness of the concentration gradient (how much is there)_

________ solutions have the same concentrations

isotonic solutions

A _______ solution has a higher concentration than the cytosol

hypertonic

A _____ solution has a lower concentration than the cytosol

hypotonic

the organelle in which amino acids are hooked together to make proteins

ribosomes

the organelle that makes lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, and packages proteins for the Golgi complex

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The organelle that breaks down food molecules to make energy available (ATP)



Mitochondria

the organelle that processes and transports proteins and other materials out of the cell

Golgi complex

the organelle that stores water and other material

Vacuole


the organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders

lysosome

Humans have ____ chromosomes

46

thread-like strands present when cells are NOT dividing

chromatin

The liquid that is inside the cell is called the ___________.

cytosol

Which of the following cells would most likely have the greatest number of mitochondria?

What stage of mitosis do chromosomes become visible in the nucleus?

Prophase

What phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

metaphase

list the correct sequence of the cell cycle phases?

G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, mitosis, cytokinesis

division of the cytoplasm

Cytokinesis

The structure that holds sister chromatids together is called the ________.

centromere

To which portion of the chromosome do the mitotic spindle microtubules attach during the highlighted phase of mitosis?

centromere

requires a membrane-bound carrier for transport?

facilitated diffusion

During which phase is DNA replicated?

Interphase

During which phase are the centrioles lined up in the middle?

Metaphase

During which phase are the two daughter cells produced?

Telophase

connective

Blood is a type of ________ tissue

connective

adipose is a type of ________ tissue

connective

cartilage is a type of ________ tissue

connective

Osmosis deals strictly with ______ and is one way you can tell it apart from diffusion

water

If you drink the organelle responsible for detoxifying that harmful substance is the

peroxisomes
