Pearson Biology Midterm



1. cell membrane: thin,flexible barrier around the cell; regulates what goes in and

out of the cell

2. cell wall: strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and

some bacteria

3. chloroplast: captures the energy from sunlight and converts it to chemical energy

4. cytoplasm: material inside cell membrane-not including the nucleus

5. cytoskeleton: network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell

maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement

6. golgi apparatus: stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts,and pack-

ages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum

7. lysosome: cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain

materials in the cell

8. nuclear envelope: layer of two membranes that surrounds the nucleus of a cell

9. nucleolus: small dense region within most nuclei in which the assembly of

12. diffusion: process by which molecules tend to move from an area where theyare

13. osmosis: diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

14. isotonic: when the concentration of two solutions is the same

15. hypertonic: when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater con-

centration of solutes

16. hypotonic: when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concen-

tration of solutes

17. facilitated diffusion: movement of specific molecules across cell membranes

through protein channels

18. active transport: energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell

membrane against a concentration difference

19. endocytosis: process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding ofthe

cell membrane

20. phagocystosis: process in which extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulf
