A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.

Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis

Cell process in which stored food reserves are converted into useful energy for the plant.

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates

Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use

Makes proteins

A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.

A small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.

Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found

A cell structure that contains nucleic acids, the chemical instructions that direct all the cell's activities.

Ridged outer layer of a plant cell

A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.

Capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell

Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases; DNA replicates

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

Chromosomes become visable, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms

Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell

The chromosomes arrive at the poles and nuclear envelopes form

Division of the cytoplasm during cell division

A molecule containing carbon that is a part of or produced by living systems.

Molecules that do not contain the element carbon

A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers

A long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers linked together.

A chemical reaction in which two molecules covalently bond to each other with the removal of a water molecule.

A chemical reaction that breaks apart a larger molecule by adding a molecule of water

Are a group of compounds made of sugars

A single sugar molecule such as glucose or fructose, the simplest type of sugar.

a sugar composed of two combined monosaccharides; sucrose

Carbohydrates that are made up of more than two monosaccharides

A lipid made from fatty acids that have no double bonds between carbon atoms; solid at room temp

A fat that is liquid at room temperature and found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds.

An organic compound that is made of one or more chains of amino acids and that is a principal component of all cells

A process in which a protein unravels, losing its specific structure and hence function; can be caused by changes in pH or salt concentration or by high temperature.

A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing

A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.

Water fearing

Water loving

the second set of reactions in photosynthesis

First stage of photosynthesis. Named Because it requires light to happen. Begins with the absorption of light in the Chloroplasts.

Having a higher concentration of solute than another solution.

Having a lower concentration of solute than another solution

when the concentration of two solutions is the same

Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference

Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

a membrane that allows for diffusion of certain solutes and water
