3
Q

Plasma membrane is made of

A

Phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins. The proteins make it selectively permeable

4
Q

Proteins

A

Made of amino acids joined by peptide bonds

5
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Semi-fluid substance inside a cell membrane

6
Q

Nucleus

A

Surrounded by a double membrane of DNA, regulates mitosis

7
Q

Mitosis

A

Process of cellular division in eukaryotes.

8
Q

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

A

Surrounds the outer nucleus, produces protein through ribosomes

9
Q

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A

Produces and stores lipids

10
Q

Golgi complex

A

Receives vessels of protein, modifies, repackages, and sends it to where it is needed. Also makes Digestive enzyme vessels called lysosomes.

11
Q

Lysosomes

A

Powerful digestive enzymes necessary for cellular metabolism.

12
Q

Mitochondria

A

The powerhouse of the cell, turns food we eat into ATP through cellular respiration

13
Q

Tissues

A

Groups of similar cells that work together for a single function. There are 4 basic types.

14
Q

Epithelial

A

Covers body surfaces and body cavities, seres as a protective barrier

15
Q

Connective tissue

A

Connects other tissues together to bind and support body parts

16
Q

Muscle tissue

A

Moves the body and its contents through contraction

17
Q

Nervous tissue

A

Receives signals from inside or outside the body and communicates through electrical impulses with the rest of the body
