5.3 Vocabulary

Homeostasis

• The process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment.

• A method of cellular respiration in animals.

• The ability of an organism to adapt to external changes.

• A type of genetic mutation that affects stability.

Exocytosis

• The process by which a cell expels materials using vesicular transport.

• The process of taking in materials through the cell membrane.

• The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.

• The division of a cell into two daughter cells.

Golgi Apparatus

• A structure involved in photosynthesis

• A complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

• A part of the cell responsible for energy production

• A type of protein found in the cell membrane

Vesicle

• A small structure within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer, used to transport materials.

• A type of organelle responsible for energy production in cells.

• A large structure that stores waste products in a cell.

• A protein complex that synthesizes new proteins in the cell.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• A network of tubular membranes within the cytoplasm of the cell, lacking ribosomes, involved in the synthesis of lipids.

• A type of organelle responsible for protein synthesis and modification.

• A structure that contains ribosomes and is involved in the production of ATP.

• A membrane-bound structure that stores genetic information.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

• A network of tubular membranes within the cytoplasm of the cell, studded with ribosomes, involved in the transport of materials.

• A type of organelle responsible for energy production in the cell.

• A structure that synthesizes lipids and detoxifies certain chemicals.

• A membrane-bound structure that stores genetic information.

Lysosome

• An organelle containing digestive enzymes, used to break down waste materials and cellular debris.

• A type of cell that produces energy through photosynthesis.

• A structure that stores genetic information in the form of DNA.

• A membrane-bound structure that synthesizes proteins.

What is a Vacuole?

• A space within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.

• A type of organelle responsible for protein synthesis.

• A structure that provides energy to the cell through respiration.

• A part of the cell that controls the movement of substances in and out.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

• An organelle that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae.

• A structure responsible for protein synthesis and modification.

• A type of vesicle involved in cellular transport.

• An organelle that generates energy through cellular respiration.

Thermoregulation

• The process that allows the human body to maintain its core internal temperature.

• A method for increasing body temperature through exercise.

• The body's response to external temperature changes only.

• A technique for cooling the body using water immersion.
