The Organization of Cells

Review your understanding of the concepts and terms related to the structure and function of cells.

AB
ciliaHairlike organelles that allow some cells to move
flagellaLong whip-like tail that allows some cells to move
vessiclesSmall membrane sacs used to store and move materials
diffusionMolecule movement from high concentration to low concentration
tonicityDifference in solute concentration between the cell and surrounding solution
facilitated diffusionUsing protein carriers and no cell energy to move materials
osmosisDiffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
isotonic solutionSolution with the same amount of dissolved substances as a cell
hypotonic solutionSolution with the less dissolved substances and more water than a cell
hypertonic solutionSolution with the more dissolved substances and less water than a cell
passive transportMovement of materials across a cell membrane without using energy
active transportMovement of materials across a cell membrane using energy
endocytosisProcess of moving material into a cell using a vesicle
pinocytosisProcess of moving liquid material into a cell using a vesicle
phagocytosisProcess of moving solid material into a cell using a vesicle
exocytosisProcess of moving material out of a cell using a vesicle
organelleStructure inside of a cell that has a specific function
plasma membraneSeparates cell from surroundings and controls what enters and leaves the cell
cytoplasmAll material between the plasmal membrane and nuclear membrane
nucleusControl center for cell activities
nuclear envelopeMembrane that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell
nucleoplasmFluid material found inside the nucleus
nucleolusDense body inside nucleus that is made of DNA, RNA, and proteins. It makes ribosomes
chromatinLong thin threads of DNA found in the nucleus
endoplasmic reticulumContinuous network membrane channels that transport materials through the cytoplasm
rough EREndoplasmic reticulum covered ribosomes
smooth EREndoplasmic reticulum that has no ribosomes
ribosomeSites of protein synthesis in the cell
golgi apparatusFlattened sacs that process, package, and store products to be released in vessicles
lysosomesSingle membrane packages of strong digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes
mitochondriaOrganelle that carries out cellular respiration
cytoskeletonProtein tubes found within the cell that give it shape
prokaryoteCell type that does NOT have a nucleus and NO membrane organelles
eukaryoteCell type that does have a nucleus and membrane organelles
phospholipidsPlasma membrane is two layers of:
