Revision of biological principles

Cells, life processes and movement of molecules

AB
Cell membraneControls the movement of substances into and out of the cell
CytoplasmSurrounded by the cell membrane, contains enzymes
EnzymesCatalysts found in the cytoplasm
ProteinWhat enzymes are made of
NucleusContains chromosomes
MitochondriaThe parts of the cell where most of the reactions of respiration take place
Aerobic respirationMitochondria carry out this process which requires oxygen
CelluloseMolecule which makes up the cell wall
Cell wallStructure found in plant cells, made of cellulose
ChloroplastsContain chlorophyll
ChlorophyllGreen pigment needed for photosynthesis
VacuoleA large, permanent sac full of cell sap
SensitivityThe life process which involves nerves
TissueMany cells of the same type
SystemA group of organs working together
OrganA structure made up of several different tissues which performs a special function
AnimalsOrganisms whose cells don't have a cell wall
PlantsOrganisms whose cells have cell walls, a large vacuole and often have chloroplasts
UndergroundWhere would you find parts of a plant with no chloroplasts
PassiveWord used to describe diffusion and osmosis, where molecules move without needing an input of energy
Concentration gradientWhat molecules move down during diffusion
RandomMovement of individual particles during diffusion
MembranesSmall molecules can diffuse through them, big ones cannot
Partially permeableDescribes a membrane which lets small molecules diffuse through it but not large ones
OsmosisThe diffusion of water
IncreasesThis happens to the mass of potato chips when they are put in distilled water
DecreasesThis happens to the mass of potato chips when they are put in a concentrated sugar solution
TurgidA cell with a high pressure of water in it
WiltHappens to plants when their cells lose too much water
SupportImportant job in a plant carried out by turgid cells
Active transportTransport of molecules up their concentration gradient. It uses energy.
EnergyNeeded for active transport
MitochondriaYou would find lots of these in a cell which had to use lots of energy
FlaccidWord describing a cell which has lost so much water it has gone floppy
Carbon dioxideA small molecule which can diffuse easily out of respiring cells
OxygenA small molecule which can diffuse easily into respiring cells
Visking tubingA manmade, partially permeable membrane
RespirationProcess which supplies the energy for active transport
