Cells lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and organelles; found in Bacteria and Archaea.

Cells with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and organelles; all organisms except bacteria and archaea.

Cell structures made of RNA and protein; sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.

Boundary membrane of all cells; selectively allows ions and molecules to pass.

Non-membrane-bound region in prokaryotic cells where DNA is concentrated.

A sticky outer coat that helps prokaryotes adhere to surfaces or other cells.

The most distinctive feature of eukaryotic cells, containing genetic material.

Membrane-bound structures in eukaryotic cells that perform specific functions.

An organelle involved in the manufacture and transport of molecules; consists of smooth and rough types.

Model depicting the plasma membrane as a mosaic of protein molecules in a phospholipid bilayer.

Lipids with two fatty acids and a phosphate group; essential for forming cell membranes.

Feature of a membrane that allows only certain substances to pass through.

'Water-loving' parts of molecules that dissolve in water.

Double layer of phospholipids forming the core structure of cell membranes.

A cell membrane structure with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails regulating substance movement.

Movement of substances across a membrane without energy expenditure by the cell.

The random movement resulting in net movement of particles from higher to lower concentration.

A difference in concentration of a substance across a distance or membrane.

The process converting sunlight into chemical energy stored in sugars from CO2 and water.

The process that breaks down food molecules, using oxygen to produce ATP, CO2, and water.

Energy from sunlight flows one way through ecosystems, not recycled like matter.

Breathing involves gas exchange; cellular respiration uses oxygen to make ATP.

Matter is cycled in ecosystems, like CO2 and water, through photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency used for cellular work produced in cellular respiration.

A reaction that releases energy, such as cellular respiration releasing energy from glucose.

Loss of electrons in a redox reaction; occurs when glucose is oxidized to CO2.

Gain of electrons in a redox reaction; happens when O2 is reduced to H2O.

Short for reduction-oxidation; involves electron transfer between molecules.

Reduced form of NAD+; an electron carrier that transports electrons to the electron transport chain.

A series of proteins in mitochondria that transfer electrons and create ATP from the released energy.

Removal of hydrogen atoms from a molecule, typically during oxidation in cellular respiration.

A concentration difference of protons across a membrane; used to generate ATP in respiration.
