Hint a type of cell that has specialized organelles (such as a nucleus) to perform various cellular functions eukaryotic cell
Hint a type of cell that does NOT have specialized organelles (such as a nucleus) to perform various cellular functions prokaryotic cell
Hint karyo kernel, nucleus (eukaryote) [suffix]
Hint eu good, true (euphoria, eukaryote means true nucleus) [prefix]
Hint pro or pre before (prolog, prefix; prokaryotes existed before eukaryotes) [prefix]
Hint cyto cell (cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, endocytosis) [root]
Hint the semifluid medium in the interior of cells cytoplasm
Hint structures within cells that make proteins ribosomes
Hint the structure in the nucleus where ribosomes are made nucleolus
Hint a set of membranes spreading out from the nuclear membrane to the plasma membrane endomembrane system
Hint the organelle where proteins are synthesized rough ER
Hint synthesis production, putting together (synthetic means made artificially; photosynthesis is producing food with light) [suffix]
Hint reticulate netted; covered with a network [adjective]
Hint the organelle that processes and packages material made in the ER for transport elsewhere Golgi apparatus
Hint the organelle where cellular respiration occurs, providing energy for cells mitochondrion
Hint the large organelle that stores water and dissolved substances in plant cells vacuole
Hint a type of cytoskeleton which form railroad-like "tracks" to provide transport for the cell microtubules
Hint solute molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration diffusion
Hint diffusion of water through a membrane osmosis
Hint contains higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside, and water moves out of the cell hypertonic solution
Hint iso equal (isotonic means equal concentrations) [prefix]
Hint hypo low, under, below (hypothermia means low body temperature) [prefix]
Hint hyper high, above, over (hypertension means high blood pressure) [prefix]
Hint protein that uses energy to move solutes up a concentration gradient across a membrane pump
Hint the process of cellular intake of material by folding plasma membrane around it and forming a vesicle endocytosis
Hint endo inside, within (endoscope is used for colonoscopy; endoplasmic reticulum, endomembrane system) [prefix]
Hint exo or ex outside, external (exit, exocytosis, exoskeleton) [prefix]
