Question | Answer |
---|---|
smallest living subunit | cells |
cells | work together with other cells |
cell/plasma membrane | selectively permeable |
phospholipid bilayer | double layer |
cholesterol | decreases fluidity stablizing the membrane |
protiens | pores/channels |
Nucleus | all cells except mature red blood cells |
nucleus have? | double layered nuclear membranes |
cytoplasm | liquid solution of dissolved minerals, gases. and other molecules |
Contains organelles | Cytoplasm |
Organelles | "organs" of the cell, literally "little organs" |
Proteasome | barrel-shaped organelle made of enzymes that cut protein molecules apart |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | membranous tubules that extend from the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane. |
2 types of Endoplasmic reticulum | Rough ER, and Smooth ER |
Rough ER | Ribosomes on the surface |
Smooth ER | No ribosomes on the surface |
Golgi Appartus | Flat membranous sacs stacked like pancakes |
Mitochondria | power house of the cell |
Lysosomes | contain digestive enzymes called lysosomal |
Centrioles | Rod-shaped, organize spindle fibers that separate chromosomes during cell division |
Cilia | Many thread-like projections on certain cells |
Flagella | Mobile thread-like projection through the cell membrane |
Microvilli | Folds of the cell membrane that increase surface area |
Vacuoles | Pinched off plasma membrance during phagocytosis and pinocytosis |
What does cellular transport mechanism do? | move substances in and out of the cell |
Diffusion | movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to and area of lesser concentration along a concentration gradient until equilbrium is reached. |
Osmosis | Diffusion of Water through a selectively permeable membrane |
isotonic | equal concentration of solutes |
hypotonic | low concentration of solutes |
hypertonic solution | higher concentration of solutes |
Facilitated diffusion | diffusion molecules through a membrane with help from proteins in the cell membrane called transporters |
active transport | energy requiring process of moving molecules against a concentration gradiet |
Filtration | substance are forced through fluids out of capillaries into the interstitial spaces |
Phagocytosis | moving cell engulfs something |
pinocytosis | stationary cell engulfs something |
DNA | double strand of nucletides twisted into a double helix made up of A,T,G,C |
Protein synthesis | Occurs in the Ribosomes |
how many types of Cell division are there? | two |
Mitosis | one cell divides into two identical cells both having a full set of chromosomes |
Meiosis | one cell divides into 4 cells each having half of the chromosomes |
Mitosis | Diploid number, Full set of chromosomes |
interphase | not a phase |
prophase | chromosomes coil up |
metaphase | chromosomes line up in the middle |
Anaphase | Spindle fibers pull chromosomes to each pole |
Telophase | Chromosomes uncoil to become chromatin |
Cytokinesis | cytoplasm divides and cell membranes close off |
Meiosis | results in gametes (egg and sperm) |
Fertilization | egg and sperm meet and join chromosomes to form a 2n diploid zygote |
