Cards

Term
Plasma membrane
Definition
outer limiting membrane of the amoeba
Term
Inside Nucleus
Definition
Nucleolus
Chromatin
Term
Inside cytoplasm
Definition
organelles
Term
Pseudopodia
Definition
Thin, fingerlike projection from edges of cell, filled with cytoplasm.
Term
Phagocytosis
Definition
digestive enzymes secreted into the vacuole digest the food particles into soluble material that can pass across the membrane into the cytoplasm.
Term
Contractile vacuole
Definition
clear, round membranebound vesicle in the cytoplasm. Collects water from the cytoplasm, moves to the oter plasma membrane of the amoeba where it fues with plasma membrane.
Term
Food vacuole
Definition
dense, membranebound vesicles in the cytoplasm. Formed as pseudopodia surround and then close around food particles.
Term
Cilia
Definition
Filamentous projections passing through the plasma membrane pellicle. In locomtion and food gathering.
Term
Oral Groove
Definition
At anterior end, runs diagonally across cell toward posterior end. Carry food into and down the groove.
Term
Cytosome
Definition
Cell mouth at the end of the oral groove.
Term
Osculum
Definition
The beating of the flagella in the central cavity pulls water from environment through the porocytes.
Term
Choanocyte
Definition
lines the central cavity.
Term
Amoebocyte
Definition
Food vacuole go to choanocyte, located in the middle layer between the layer of choanocytes and pinacocytes.
Term
Porocyte
Definition
form many holes in the body of a sponge.
Term
Pinacocyte
Definition
outer covering of the sponger is one cell layer deep.
Term
Gametes
Definition
male and female cell
Term
Sexual reproduction
Definition
two cells, called gametes fuse to form a new cell called zygote.
Term
Asexual reproduction
Definition
reproduce w/o sex
Term
Nucleus
Definition
darkly stained, roundish structure.
