Mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source for cells. They are often called the 'powerhouses of the cell'.

The Golgi apparatus acts like a packaging and shipping center. It packages proteins into small sacs called vesicles and sends them to their destinations within the cell.

The phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane. It has two layers: the hydrophilic heads face outward while the hydrophobic tails face inward.

The cell membrane's structure allows for the exchange of water, nutrients, and other important molecules between the inside and outside of the cell.

Proteins embedded in the cell membrane help regulate the flow of molecules across the membrane. They can also act as receptors, enzymes, or channels.

The study of how living organisms function. It explores processes happening at various levels, from molecules to whole systems.

Father of modern physiology, emphasizing the importance of homeostasis.

All living organisms are made up of cells, and new cells arise from existing cells.

Fluid-like substance inside the cell membrane where organelles are found.

The 'powerhouse' of the cell, responsible for producing energy (ATP).

The cell membrane is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds every cell. It's composed of a double layer of phospholipids (phospholipid bilayer) and proteins.

A type of cell membrane transport that requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

A type of cell membrane transport that doesn't require energy to move substances across the membrane, from high to low concentration.

The movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to low concentration, down their concentration gradient. This process happens naturally.

A type of passive transport where a substance moves across the cell membrane with the help of a carrier protein.

The movement of large quantities of substances from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Think of water flowing through a pipe.

The movement of water and small molecules from an area of high hydrostatic pressure to an area of low pressure. This is driven by differences in water pressure.

Proteins embedded within the cell membrane. They act as channels, receptors, enzymes, or carriers to facilitate transport.
