control centerThe nucleus is the ____ for the cell.
reproductionThe nucleus carries information for cell ____.
cytoplasmgel-like material that surrounds the internal parts of a cell
internalCytoplasm is the gel-like material that surrounds the internal/external parts of a cell.
contains the nucleuscytoplasm
cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasmthree structures that plant and animal cells have in common
organellestructure that has a specific job within a cell
mitochondria, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, ribosomes, and lysosomesexamples of organelles
mitochondriabreak down sugars and release the energy that cells need to carry out their function
rod shapedmitochondria
vacuolesstore food, water or waste of the cell
endoplasmic reticulumcarries proteins and other materials from one part of a cell to another
passagewaysEndoplasmic reticulum looks like a maze of ____.
Golgi bodies____ receive proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, "package" them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell.
ribosomesproduce proteins
lysosomescontain chemicals that break down large food particles or old cell parts
EREndoplasmic reticulum
plantAnimal/plant cell has chloroplast.
chloroplastorganelle that makes food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
animalPlant/animal cell does not have a cell wall.
passive transportCells do not use energy to move substances across a cell membrane.
diffusionprocess that spreads substances through a gas or liquid
osmosistype of diffusion that allows water to pass but not the solutes in the water
waterIn osmosis only ___ moves across the cell membrane.
active transportCells use energy to move substances across a cell membrane from regions of lower concentration to regions of higher concentratioin.
energyAll living things need ___ to survive.
photosynthesisthe process in which plants use energy from the Sun to change carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
Photosynthesis takes place in ___.chloroplasts
chlorophyllgreen pigment that captures energy from sunlight
