Cells | The building blocks of the human body able to carry out all basic life processes. |
Cell Membrane | Separates the cell contents for the surrounding area. |
Cytoplasm | Fluid with in the cell that surrounds the nucleus and contains the organelles. |
Nucleus | The control center for cellular operations. |
Phospholipids Bilayer | Cell membrane containing heads and tails. |
Permeability | The property of the cell membrane that determines which substances can enter or leave the cytoplasm. |
Diffusion | The movement of molecules from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to obtain a uniform concentration. |
Osmosis | The diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane. |
Isotonic | Solution is one that will not cause any movement of water Iso equal tonic tension. |
Hypotonic | Solution where water moves into the cell hypo below tonic tension. |
Hypertonic | Water from the cell moves out into solution hyper above tonic tension. |
Filtration | Movement of a fluid across a membrane whose pores restrict the passage of solutes on the basis of size. |
Vesicular Transport | Vesicle is the means of moving molecules across the membrane. |
Organelles | Structures that perform specific functions essential to normal cell structure, maintenance, and metabolism. |
Cytoskeleton | The internal protein network that gives the cytoplasm its strength. |
Cilia | Hair like structures that extend from the cell wall and aid in cellular movement. |
Flagella | A whip like structure that some cells use to create movement. |
Ribosomes | Organelles that manufacture proteins. |
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | A network of membranes that transport, produce, or store proteins. |
Golgi Apparatus | Responsible for the collection and packaging specific enzymes used within the cell. |
Lysosomes | Vesicles with digestive enzymes. |
Mitochondria | Organelles containing enzymes that regulate the reactions that con provide energy for the cells. |
Nucleolus | The control center for the cell and contain the chromosomes. |
Chromosomes | Paired protein structures that contain DNA or blueprints for the organisms. |
Mitosis | Process of cell division that results in to identical daughter cells. |
Prophase | Cell stage in mitosis where chromosomes tighten and replicate creating chromatids. |
Metaphase | Where the nuclear envelope dissolves and the spindle fibers pull the chromatids into the center of the cell. |
Anaphase | When the chromatids are pulled away from one another into opposite daughter cells. |
Telophase | Part of mitosis when either the cleavage plate or the cell pinches and the nuclear envelope develops. |
Interphase | Point when cell carries out regular or specialized functions. |
