The basic building block of life - correct answer Cell Structures within cells that carry out specific functions - correct answer Organelles Contains substances the cell produces and secretes them at the plasma membrane - correct answer Vesicle Processes proteins and other molecules and directs them to where they need to go - correct answer Golgi complex Has enzymes that degrade bacteria, old organelles, and other unwanted substances - correct answer Lysosome Often called the "powerhouse" of the cell - correct answer mitochondrion Often called the "brain" or "control center" of the cell. - correct answer Nucleus Transports materials, and is the site of attachment for ribosomes, structures involved in building chains of amino acids - correct answer endoplasmic reticulum the protein that moves water through the cell membrane - correct answer aquaporin molecular form of energy - correct answer ATP molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration - correct answer simple diffusion molecules are transported by a particular carrier protein - correct answer facilitated diffusion
ATP energy is required to change a protein into a channel that molecules can pass through - correct answer active transport the membrane of a cell folding inward around a material, taking it into the cell within a vacuole - correct answer endocytosis The membrane of a cell folding inward around a solid - correct answer phagocytosis Vacuoles fusing with the cell membrane and releasing materials outside the cell - correct answer exocytosis receive hormones and trigger chemical changes within the cell - correct answer receptor proteins Allow the immune system to recognize the body's cells and detect foreign cells - correct answer marker proteins control the movement of substances through the cell membrane - correct answer transport proteins Cell with adequate organelles and nutrients to support rapid mitosis - correct answer egg cell Cell with a small head, containing DNA, and a whip-like tail - correct answer Sperm Long tube-like cells with myofibrils, which contract and relax - correct answer skeletal muscle cells Cell with numerous hair-like dendrites and a long axon to connect cells together for intricate communication - correct answer Neuron Cells that can swell in size to store additional fat - correct answer fat cell Cells in the human body which lack nuclei - correct answer red blood cells
Bone building cells - correct answer osetoblasts Cells that break down bone - correct answer Osteoclasts Osteoblasts embedded in bone which maintain bone density - correct answer Osteocytes Bone broken, but still in place - correct answer simple fracture Bone out of place - correct answer compound fracture Steps of bone repair - correct answer Blood clot, Callus, Spongy bone replaces callus, compact bone replaces spongy disease of the joints - correct answer arthritis Inflammation of joints - correct answer rheumatoid arthritis Loss of cartillage at joints - correct answer osteoarthritis How to increace bone density - correct answer repeated force How to keep muscle mass over time - correct answer excersise Why the skull's joints are different than the rest of the body's. - correct answer They are fixed joints- unmoveable Versitle, lubricated joints that allow movement - correct answer synovial joint
muscle just below the skin - correct answer superficial muscle muscle below superficial muscle - correct answer deep muscle
