A | B |
Cell membrane | Controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell |
Cytoplasm | Surrounded by the cell membrane, contains enzymes |
Enzymes | Catalysts found in the cytoplasm |
Protein | What enzymes are made of |
Nucleus | Contains chromosomes |
Mitochondria | The parts of the cell where most of the reactions of respiration take place |
Aerobic respiration | Mitochondria carry out this process which requires oxygen |
Cellulose | Molecule which makes up the cell wall |
Cell wall | Structure found in plant cells, made of cellulose |
Chloroplasts | Contain chlorophyll |
Chlorophyll | Green pigment needed for photosynthesis |
Vacuole | A large, permanent sac full of cell sap |
Sensitivity | The life process which involves nerves |
Tissue | Many cells of the same type |
System | A group of organs working together |
Organ | A structure made up of several different tissues which performs a special function |
Animals | Organisms whose cells don't have a cell wall |
Plants | Organisms whose cells have cell walls, a large vacuole and often have chloroplasts |
Underground | Where would you find parts of a plant with no chloroplasts |
Passive | Word used to describe diffusion and osmosis, where molecules move without needing an input of energy |
Concentration gradient | What molecules move down during diffusion |
Random | Movement of individual particles during diffusion |
Membranes | Small molecules can diffuse through them, big ones cannot |
Partially permeable | Describes a membrane which lets small molecules diffuse through it but not large ones |
Osmosis | The diffusion of water |
Increases | This happens to the mass of potato chips when they are put in distilled water |
Decreases | This happens to the mass of potato chips when they are put in a concentrated sugar solution |
Turgid | A cell with a high pressure of water in it |
Wilt | Happens to plants when their cells lose too much water |
Support | Important job in a plant carried out by turgid cells |
Active transport | Transport of molecules up their concentration gradient. It uses energy. |
Energy | Needed for active transport |
Mitochondria | You would find lots of these in a cell which had to use lots of energy |
Flaccid | Word describing a cell which has lost so much water it has gone floppy |
Carbon dioxide | A small molecule which can diffuse easily out of respiring cells |
Oxygen | A small molecule which can diffuse easily into respiring cells |
Visking tubing | A manmade, partially permeable membrane |
Respiration | Process which supplies the energy for active transport |
