active transport - ANSWER:transport process in which solutes move form an area of
lesser to greater concentration; requires energy in the form of ATP
cilia - ANSWER:hair-like processes on the surface of the cell that propel materials
across the surface
Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) - ANSWER:large polymer of a nucleotide that carries the
genetic information of a cell
diffusion - ANSWER:a passive transport mechanism that involves the movement of
particles from an area of higher to lower concentration
endocytosis - ANSWER:form of vesicular transport that brings substances into the
cell
exocytosis - ANSWER:from of vesicular transport that releases substances out side of
the cell
Facilitated diffusion - ANSWER:Transport process in which water and dissolved
particles are forced across a membrane from an are of higher to lower pressure
golgi apparatus - ANSWER:post office of the cell
prepares proteins and packages them for export to other parts of the body
hydrostatic pressure - ANSWER:pressure exerted by water
hypertonic - ANSWER:pertain to a solution that contains a higher concentration of
solutes compared to the fluid within the cell
hypotonic - ANSWER:pertain to a solution that contains a lower concentration of
solutes compared to the fluid within the cell
isotonic - ANSWER:pertain to a solution in which the concentration of solutes in the
solution is the same as the concentration of solutes in the cell
microvilli - ANSWER:bladder intestines
fold of a cell membrane that greatly increase the surface area of a cell to facilitate

the cells control center that contains a complete set of 46 chromosomes
organelles - ANSWER:gives the cell its shape
the structures within the cell that perform specific task in the cellular metabolism
osmosis - ANSWER:a passive transport mechanism involving the diffusion of water
from an area of greater concentration of eater to an area of lesser concentration of
water
osmotic pressure - ANSWER:water pressure that developed in a solution as a result
of osmosis
phagocytosis - ANSWER:process in which fluids and dissolved particles are trapped in
the plasma membrane and brought into the cell
plasma membrane - ANSWER:Fence keeping things in
the external boundary of the cell
polymer - ANSWER:large molecules consisting of many smaller molecules joined in
sequence
ribonucleic acid (RNA) - ANSWER:nucleotide that assist in protein synthesis
ribosomes - ANSWER:granules of protein and RNA scattered through the cytoplasm ;
some are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
nerve cells - ANSWER:long extension allow these cells to quickly transmit electrical
impulses from one part of the body to anther
muscle cells - ANSWER:elongated thread-like fibers can shorten to allow body parts
to move
red blood cells - ANSWER:concave shape allows these cells to bend and squeeze
through tiny blood vessels
gland cells - ANSWER:intracellular sacs store and release substances such as
hormones, enzymes, mucus and sweat
immune cells - ANSWER:these cells can recognize and destroy foreign invaders some
engulf or destroy foreign cells directly others manufacture antibodies.
phospholipids - ANSWER:have a head and a tail head are water loving and tails are
water fearing the are in a double layer
