Cells & Diffusion
Part A
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Nucleus | Found in BOTH cells - Controls all activities of cell; growth & reproduction |
Cell Membrane | Found in BOTH cells - Allows for certain molecules to go in & out of cell - Molecules diffuse in or out of cell; made of 2 phosphorus layers interconnected |
Cell Wall | Found in PLANT cells - Supports + protects cell; does not allow molecules in or out |
Chromosomes | Found in BOTH cells - Proteins that contain DNA which have coded information for making molecules |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Found in BOTH cells - Produces & stores proteins |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Found in BOTH cells - Produces & stores fats + oils |
Golgi Bodies | Found in BOTH cells - AKA Golgi Apparatus - Modifies & packages proteins from Rough E.R. with enzymes |
Ribosomes | Found in BOTH cells - Helps Rough E.R. make proteins + is attached to Rough E.R. |
Centrioles | Found in ANIMAL cells - Helps with cell Diffusion (mitosis) - Spindle fibers come from here |
Mitochondria | Found in BOTH cells - Converts sugar into energy for cell |
Cytoplasm | Found in BOTH cells - Fluid in cell; allows organelles to move around |
Vacuole | Found in BOTH cells - Stores water, minerals & vitamins - Much bigger in Plant cells |
Lysosomes | Found in ANIMAL cells - Breaks down food, invading bacteria & old/damaged organelles |
Chloroplasts | Found in PLANT cells - Uses sunlight to make its own food using Photosynthesis - CO2 + H2O + light --- sugar (glucose) + O2 |
Diffusion | - Movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration |
Osmosis | - Movement of water molecules from higher concentration of water to lower concentration of water |
Permeable | - Allows any molecule to diffuse across Membrane |
Semi - Permeable | - Allows certain molecules to diffuse across Membrane EX. Cell membrane |
Non - Permeable | - Allows no molecules to diffuse across Membrane EX. Cell Wall |
