| Organelles | ||
| #1 | Cell organelle that begins the process of making proteins | Ribosomes |
| #2 | A network of folded membranes in the cell's cytoplasm that transports materials | endoplasmic reticulum |
| #3 | Cell organelles that convert the chemical energy of food into a form the cell can use | Mitochondria |
| #4 | Structure that performs a specific function within a cell | organelle |

| Vocab | ||
| #1 | The movement of a substance from an area of its higher concentration to an area of its lower concentration | diffusion |
| #2 | The diffusion of water across a cell membrane | osmosis |
| #3 | The material that stores coded information about how an organism will grow and develop | DNA |
| #4 | Structure in the nucleus made up of long, threadlike DNA coils | Chromosomes |
| #5 | The process in which the cell nucleus divides during the production of two cells with identical DNA | mitosis |
| Short Answer | ||
| #1 | The three parts of the cell theory | all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic units of living things, all cells come from existing cells |
| #2 | Describe the diffusion process | particles move from one area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated |
| #3 | Why cant a cell grow very large without dividing | nutrients can't get to all organelles and wastes can't get out. cell will die |
| #4 | Explain the mitosis process using the 5 major steps | 1. cell grows to large and copies dna, 2, chromosomes line up along center, 3. chromosomes separate and pull to opposite ends, 4. chromosomes uncoil and a new membrane forms, 5. cytoplasm divides forming 2 new cells |
