CELL BIOLOGY – BINGO VOCABULARY
Organelles – small cell parts, each one has its own function
Cytoplasm/cytosol – the clear jelly-like goop that fills up a cell, this is where
chemical reactions occur in the cell, stops organelles from bumping into each other
Centrioles – organelles found only in animal cells, they help move the
chromosomes around during cell reproduction
Nucleolus – small section of the nucleus where ribosomes are made
Cellular respiration – the process which occurs inside the mitochondria, it is the
chemical reaction of burning sugar to release energy, it is the opposite of
photosynthesis, all living things do cellular respiration
Eukaryote - a type of cell that has a nucleus and lots of different organelles, YOU
have EUKARYOTIC cells
Vacuole – a storage organelle, usually stores water
Cell – the smallest unit of life, it is surrounded by a cell membrane, there are two
types of cells: prokaryotic (bacteria) and eukaryotic (every other living thing)
Flagella – a tail that hangs off of a cell to help it swim
Organ systems – many different organs working together to complete one job, ex:
respiratory system, skeletal system, muscular system
Ribosomes – small round organelles that “read” the DNA instructions and make
proteins, sites for protein synthesis
Chloroplasts – organelles found in plant cells that are the sites for photosynthesis,
they are green because of the pigment chlorophyll, they trap the sunlight and turn it
into sugar
Cell theory – three parts (a) cells are the smallest units of life (b)cells come from
other cells (c) all living things have one or more cells
Cell Wall – a dead, hard structure outside of a plant cell’s membrane, that helps
give it support, not found in animal cells
E.R. (endoplasmic reticulum) – a membrane found inside the cell that helps work
like a transportation system within the cell, like a intracellular highway system
Nucleus – not found in prokaryotes (bacteria), only found in eukaryotes, contains
the DNA and controls ALL of the functions of the cell, surrounded by a membrane
Homeostasis – maintaining a balance, ex: temperature, chemistry, water level
Photosynthesis – a process that plants can do, it happens in their chloroplasts, the
sunlight gets trapped and changed from light energy into food energy, Light +
water + Carbon dioxide turns into Sugar + Oxygen
Nuclear membrane – the envelope that surround the nucleus in a eukaryote
Mitochondria – the “powerhouse of the cell”, this is where cellular respiration
takes place, sugar is burned in this organelles, it acts like a furnace – burning sugar
to release ATP energy
Active Transport – when a cell needs to use its own energy (ATP) to move
substances inside or outside, ex: white blood cells phagocytosis
Prokaryote – a type of cell found ONLY in bacteria, no real nucleus, no organelles
that have membranes such as: mitochondria, ER, chloroplasts
Diffusion – moving substances from an area of high concentration to areas of low
concentration until an equal concentration is achieved, a form of passive transport
Passive transport – moving stuff to equal out concentrations, no cell energy (ATP)
is spent
Osmosis – moving water across a membrane to equal out concentrations, a form of
passive transport
Cell membrane/plasma membrane – the outer boundary of a cell, it allows some
stuff in/out of cell and keeps other stuff in/out
Surface area to volume ratio – cells need to stay small so that they have a high
surface area to volume ratio, this lets them move stuff in and out at a rate that lets
them stay alive
Golgi – a group of flat sacks inside the cell that receive newly made lipids or
proteins, they make the “finishing touches” and then package the products to be
sent out around the cell
Tissue – a group of cells all working together to do the same job, EX: many muscle
cells work together as the muscle tissue to contract and move your arm
Cilia – small hair-like extensions of the cell membrane, that wave back and forth
and help move a cell, or help move things outside of the cell
Organ – a group of tissues working together to do the same job, EX: the stomach is
an organ in your digestive system that is made up of muscle tissue and lining tissue
– it works to break down the food you eat into smaller parts so they can be used
