Catherine Suh Chapter 2 Review Sheet Extra Terms Cell Terms

Membrane surrounding the lungs = pleura

Chromosomes = rod-shaped structures in the

Membrane surrounding the abdominal

nucleus that contains regions of DNA called

viscera = peritoneum

genes

Muscular wall separating the thoracic and

Mitochondria = rod-shaped structures in the

abdominal cativies = diaphragm

cytoplasm that provide the prinicpal source

Space between the lungs, containing the

of energy

heart, windpipe, aorta = thoracic cavity

Nucleus = control center of the cell

Backbone = spinal cavity

DNA = found in each chromosome. Directs

Pad of cartilage between each backbone and

the activities of the cell

the next = disk

Endoplasmic reticulum = network of canals within the cytoplasm of the cell Cell membrane = structure surrounding and protecting the cell Catabolism = process where complex nutrients are broken down to simpler substances and energy is released Anabolism = process of building up large proteins from small pieces called amino acids Metabolism = total of the chemical processes in a cell...
