Cell Structure and Function

AB
CellsThe building blocks of the human body able to carry out all basic life processes.
Cell MembraneSeparates the cell contents for the surrounding area.
CytoplasmFluid with in the cell that surrounds the nucleus and contains the organelles.
NucleusThe control center for cellular operations.
Phospholipids BilayerCell membrane containing heads and tails.
PermeabilityThe property of the cell membrane that determines which substances can enter or leave the cytoplasm.
DiffusionThe movement of molecules from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to obtain a uniform concentration.
OsmosisThe diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane.
IsotonicSolution is one that will not cause any movement of water Iso equal tonic tension.
HypotonicSolution where water moves into the cell hypo below tonic tension.
HypertonicWater from the cell moves out into solution hyper above tonic tension.
FiltrationMovement of a fluid across a membrane whose pores restrict the passage of solutes on the basis of size.
Vesicular TransportVesicle is the means of moving molecules across the membrane.
OrganellesStructures that perform specific functions essential to normal cell structure, maintenance, and metabolism.
CytoskeletonThe internal protein network that gives the cytoplasm its strength.
CiliaHair like structures that extend from the cell wall and aid in cellular movement.
FlagellaA whip like structure that some cells use to create movement.
RibosomesOrganelles that manufacture proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)A network of membranes that transport, produce, or store proteins.
Golgi ApparatusResponsible for the collection and packaging specific enzymes used within the cell.
LysosomesVesicles with digestive enzymes.
MitochondriaOrganelles containing enzymes that regulate the reactions that con provide energy for the cells.
NucleolusThe control center for the cell and contain the chromosomes.
ChromosomesPaired protein structures that contain DNA or blueprints for the organisms.
MitosisProcess of cell division that results in to identical daughter cells.
ProphaseCell stage in mitosis where chromosomes tighten and replicate creating chromatids.
MetaphaseWhere the nuclear envelope dissolves and the spindle fibers pull the chromatids into the center of the cell.
AnaphaseWhen the chromatids are pulled away from one another into opposite daughter cells.
TelophasePart of mitosis when either the cleavage plate or the cell pinches and the nuclear envelope develops.
InterphasePoint when cell carries out regular or specialized functions.
