Term
| Where does the Energy that is released by a cell's mitochondrion get stored |
|
Definition
in ATP
WHY: ATP energizes other molecules in cells by transferring phosphate groups to those molecules. This helps cells perform three main kinds of work: mechanical work, transport work, and chemical work. |
|
|
Term
| A group of cells with the same function make up |
|
Definition
tissue
WHY: Cells connect with other cells to make up tissues. Tissues connect and function with other tissues to make up organs. Multiple organs that work together make up an organ sytstem, which in return make an organism. |

|
Term
| What part of the cell forms a barrier between the cell and its environment |
|
Definition
a cell membrane
WHY: A cell membrane controls the materials going in and out of a cell. This protects the inside of the cell from contact with harmful substances. |
|
|
Term
| Where does photosynthesis take place in the cell |
|
Definition
In the chloroplasts.
WHY: Photosynthesis only takes place in plants. Chloroplasts are also only in plant cells. |

|
Term
| Through what do materials go in and out of an organism's cells |
|
Definition
cell membranes
WHY: Cell membranes are the UPS delivery system or the mailman. They check and control the materials go in and out and send them to the needed places. |

|
Definition
cells
WHY: Cells are the basic building blocks of life. |
|

Definition
two or more organs
WHY: Every organism needs multiple organs that work together to live. |

| The material that controls all cell activities is called |
|
Definition
DNA
WHY: DNA has all of the "instructions" to copy itself and the entire cell. DNA is located in the "command center", the Nucleus |
|
|
Term
| The complex sugar cellulose is found in the cell walls of |
|
Definition
Plants
WHY: Only plant cells have cell walls |
|
|
Term
| Binary fission, the process in which bacteria cell divide, means |
|
Definition
Splitting into two parts
WHY: Bi means two. Fission means division. Therefore, The division into two. |

| When particles travel from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, it is called |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Most cells are very small because |
|
Definition
| their volume is limited by how large their surface is |
|
|
Term
| During the process of diffusion, |
|
Definition
| Particles move from areas of high concentration to lower concentration |

Definition
instruction for how to make proteins
WHY: DNA contains instructions for all neccessary processes |
|
|
Term
| Where do all cells come from |
|
Definition
Cells
WHY: Cells go through a cycle in which they copy itself and splits in half |
|
