Science Vocab

Cell membrane

forms the outside boundary that separates the cell from its environment, and it regulates what enters and leaves the cell.

Centrioles

bundles of microtubes play the role of moving chromosomes during cell division.

Cytoplasm

a gel-like substance those hold organelles in place inside a cell.

ER

a network of sacs that manufacture, process, and transport chemical compounds used by the cell.

Golgi Apparatus

a stack of membranes that collect and modify chemical compounds. The Golgi body packages compounds to be used in other parts of the cell or exported outside the cell.

Centromere

attach microtubules during cell division

Mitosis

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Interphase

cell doubles in size, DNA replication, organelles also double in size.

Cell cycle

the sequence of development and division of a cell

Cell wall

helps support and protect the cell

Chloroplast

where photosynthesis takes place

Central vacuole

storage area

Active transport

the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.

Nucleus

directs cell activities and contain DNA

Chromosomes

traits and characteristics

Chromatids

� of 2 identical copies of replicated DNA

Smooth er

lack ribosomes and moves materials

Selectively permeable

allow certain things in and out

Rough er

ribosomes embedded on the surface, more materials in a cell

Ribosomes

makes proteins

Prokaryotic cell

no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles

Passive transport

movement without the need of energy

Organelle

a term used for things inside a cell

Vacuole

water-filled sacs/storage-area

Nucleolus

inside nucleus and contains RNA to build proteins

Mitochondria

produces energy through chemical reactions

Lysosomes

the digestive place for proteins, fats and is a digestive area

Golgi body

protein packing place, move materials within the cell

Flagellum

helps cell move

Eukaryotic cell

contains organelles surrounded by membranes

Taxons

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (Dear King Phylum, came over for good soup)

Difference between Plant and Animal cells

Animal cells have centrioles and lysosomes and plants don't; Plant cells have chloroplasts and cell wall and animals don't.

Prokaryotic Cells

Prokaryotic cells were the first cell to come over a lot of years ago. They are simple cells and smaller than Eukaryotic cells. They have NO NUCLEUS.

Eukaryotic Cells

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, are more advanced and are multi and single-celled.

Six Kingdoms

Plant, Animals, Bacteria, Fungi, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria

Cell Theory

1) all cells are made of pre-existing cells
2) Cells are the basic unit of life
3) all living things are made up of cells

how cell division is related to cancer

Amoeba Sister video: cell growth is how they are related. It is uncontrollable cell growth.

purpose of DNA, and where it is located

DNA is located in the nucleus, and its purpose is to store/hold genetic information.

Identify parts of a microscope and explain their function.

Scientific Method

hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and stating conclusions.

Water cycle

Evaporation, Condensation, Sublimation, Precipitation, Transportation, Runoff, Infiltration
