Cell Biology Flashcards

Front

Cell theory states that all living things are made of cells.

Back

Cell theory is a fundamental concept in biology.

Front

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.

Back

Prokaryotic cells are simpler and smaller than eukaryotic cells.

Front

Ribosomes are responsible for producing proteins in the cell.

Back

Ribosomes can be found free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Front

The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains DNA.

Back

The nucleus regulates gene expression and mediates the replication of DNA.

Front

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, providing energy.

Back

Mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell.

Back

The cell membrane is selectively permeable.

Front

Cells are the basic unit of life.

Back

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

Front

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell.

Back

Mitochondria are involved in energy production.

Front

Diffusion occurs from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

Back

Diffusion continues until equilibrium is reached.

Front

Main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Back

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
