TRANSCRIPT
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Nucleus
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
NucleusThe “computer” or “brain” of the cell.
Controls everything.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Vacuole
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
VacuoleThe “vacuum” of the cell.
It stores materials.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
EndoplasmicReticulum
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
EndoplasmicReticulum
The “Highway” of the cell. Molecules travel on it throughout
the cell..
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Mitochondria
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
MitochondriaThe “Mighty Mouse” of the cell. It converts stored energy into
useable compounds.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Ribosomes
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
RibosomesThe “Robot” of the cell which assembles proteins according
to DNA instructions.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Cytoplasm
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
CytoplasmThe “jelly” of the cell (outside of the nucleus) which contains
all of the organelles.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Lysosomes
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
LysosomesThe “Lysol Cleaner” of the cell
which break down organic molecules (carbohydrates, proteins
& lipids).
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Cell Membrane
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Cell MembraneThe “skin” and the “bouncer” of the cell which allows materials into and
out of the cell.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Chloroplasts
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
ChloroplastsThe “camera” of the plant cell which
traps sunlight and where photosynthesis takes place.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Cell Wall
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Cell WallThe rigid outer layer of a plant cell
which supports & protects it.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Solution
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
SolutionA liquid containing dissolved
materials.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Diffusion
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
DiffusionThe movement of particles from
high concentration (crowded space) to low concentration (less crowded
space).
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Equilibrium
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
EquilibriumWhen particles stop diffusing
(moving) because their concentration is now the same on both sides of the cell membrane.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Passive Transport
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Passive TransportMovement of materials into or out of
the cell without the cell’s use of energy (“Lazy Movement”).
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Osmosis
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
OsmosisWhen water moves into or out of a
cell (moves from a high concentration of water to a low
concentration of water).
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Facilitated Diffusion
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion (particles passing through cell membrane) that is “helped
along” by pathways.
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Active Transport
Biology Vocabulary Study Cards
Active TransportMovement of materials into or out of the cell with the cell’s use of energy (Because they are going against the
concentration gradient).
