Chapter 6 "The Organization of Cells"

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

AB
centriolesAnimal cell organelle used in cell division
ciliaHairlike organelles that allow some cells to move
flagellaLong whip-like tail that allows some cells to move
vacuolesFluid filled membranes used to store materials
plastidsOrganelles found only in plant cells
leucoplastStarch storage plastid
chromoplastPigment storage plastid
chloroplastGreen plastid that carries out process of photosynthesis
diffusionMolecule movement from high concentration to low concentration
concentration gradientdifference in concentration between a region of high concentration and a region of low concentration
facilitated diffusionMore rapid movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
osmosisDiffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
isotonic solutionSolution with the same amount of dissolved substances as a cell
hypotonic solutionSolution with the less dissolved substances than a cell
hypertonic solutionSolution with the more dissolved substances than a cell
plasmolysisShrinkage of the cytoplasm of a cell due to osmosis
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
tissueA group of cells that perform one function together
organA group of tissues that perform one function together
epithelial tissueTissue that covers body surfaces and lines body cavities
connective tissueTissue that supports other body tissues and binds tissues and organs together
muscle tissueTissues specialized to contract or shorten
endosymbiosisCondition where one organism lives inside another one and both organisms benefit
chlorophyllGreen pigment involved in photosynthesis
HookeDiscovered cells using cork
LeeuwenhoekUsed simple microscope to see microorganisms
DurochetProposed that living things are made of cells
BrownFound the nucleus in orchid cells
SchleidenPlants are made of cells
SchwannAnimals are made of cells
VirchowAll cells come from cells
prokaryotic cellsPrimitive cell that have no membrane around the nucleus
eukaryotic cellsAdvanced cells that have a membrane around the nucleus
organelle) Structure inside of a cell that has a specific function
cell wallOrganelle that gives shape to plant, fungi, and bacteria cells
celluloseMaterial that makes up the cell wall
cell membraneSeparates cell from surroundings and controls what enters and leaves the cell
cytoplasmWatery material between the cell membrane and nuclear membrane
nucleusControl center for cell metabolism and reproduction
nuclear envelopeMembrane that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell
nucleoplasmWatery 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
chromosomesShort thick thread of DNA found in the nucleus when cell is dividing
endoplasmic reticulumContinuous network of channels that transport materials through the cell
rough endoplasmic reticulumEndoplasmic reticulum covered ribosomes
smooth endoplasmic reticulumEndoplasmic reticulum that has no ribosomes
ribosomeSites of protein synthesis in the cell
golgi bodiesFlattened sacs that process, package, and store products to be released from the cell
secretionProcess in which materials made inside the cell are released for use outside the cell
lysosomesSingle membrane packages of strong digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes
mitochondriaOrganelle that carries out cellular respiration
microtubulesHollow tubes that from skeleton of cell and are part of centrioles, cilia, and flagella
microfilamentSolid tubes of contractile proteins in cytoplasm
