Java Games: Flashcards, matching, concentration, and word search.

Cellular Organelles & Cell Transport

Use this game to help to learn cellular structure and function

AB
nucleuscommand and control center
ribosomesmanufacture proteins and polypeptides
lysosomes"suicide sacs" that digest old organelles and invaders
mitochondriapowerhouse that gives the cell energy
chloroplastsuse light, water, & carbon dioxide to make food
rough endoplasmic reticulumtransports protein
smooth endoplasmic reticulumtransports lipids
plasma membranedecides what comes into and goes out of the cell
cell wallhelps plant cells be rigid so plants can get tall
Golgi apparatuspackages, refines, and exports proteins
nucleolusmakes ribosomes
vacuolestores water, food, or wastes
microtubulesskeleton of the cell
microfilamentsmuscles of the cell
nuclear envelopedouble membrane surrounding the nucleus
diffusionrandom movement of molecules from high to low concentrations
facilitated diffusionproteins in cell membrane help diffusion happen
active transportmovement of molecules against the concentration gradient
endocytosisany movement of molecules or particles into the cell
exocytosisany movement of molecules or particles out of the cell
osmosisdiffusion of water across cell membranes
hypertonicless water outside the cell than inside
hypotonicmore water outside the cell than inside
isotonicequal concentrations of water inside and outside of the cell
Hookeobserved "cells" for first time in cork slices
Leeuwenhoekimproved microscopes so cells could be observed
eukaryoticcells that have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
prokaryoticprimitive cells without nuclei and membrane bound organelles
selectively permeable membraneallows some things to pass through but not others
cytoplasmthe cell stuff outside the nucleus
permeabilitythe extent to which molecules can go through a membrane
organellestiny organ like structures in a cell
cellsbasic units of structure & function for living organisms
plastidspigment containing organelles in plants
cell theoryAll living things are made of cell, which are their structure & function, and come from other cells
phospholipid bilayera two layer "sandwich" of molecules that surround cells
hydrophobicrepels water
hydrophilicattracted to water
passive transportdiffusion across a membrane with no energy expended by the cell
vesiclesmall membrane bound sac functioning to move products into, out of, and within cells
ATPthe molecule cells use for most of their work
flagellalong, whip-like structures that help cells move
ciliamany short structures projecting from a cell that help it move
