Definition
basic unit of life.
-all life is made up of at least one cell |
|
|
Term
what is the plasma membrane? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
function of plasma membrane |
|
Definition
-gives cell it's shape; seperation from environ.
-communicates with other cells
-signals to and from cell
-participates in growth and reproduction
-regulates what comes out of the cell |
|
|
Term
main structure of plasma membrane |
|
Definition
phospholipid bylayer
-hydrophilic side(faces the fluids)
-hydrophobic side (faces inside the membrane)
-
other structures-cholesterol,proteins, and carbs. |
|
|
Term
proteins and their functions of plasma membrane
|
|
Definition
-channels- allows passage for ions and other substances
-transporters- transport larger molecules in and out of cell
-receptors- substances attach to them which then affects cell's activity
-enzymes- catalyze reactions in membrane
-linkers- provide strength and can attach cells together
-cell id markers- unique to each cell-tells immune system that the cell is "you" and not foreign
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-nucleus, and nucleolus
-cytoplasm
-endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
-ribosomes
-mitochondria
-golgi apparatus
-lysosomes
-peroxisomes
-vesicles
-centrioles
-cilia and flagellum |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
control center
-contains the chromosomes
- |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
inside nucleus
-makes ribosomes which make proteins outside the cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
everything b/w nuclear membrane and plasma membrane.
-mix of minerals, enzymes, nutrients and other material in water(cytosol)
includes organells |
|
|
Term
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
|
|
Definition
-highway system of cell
-smooth ER-synthesizes lipids
-rough ER-rough because of ribosomes attached to the membrane
-ribosomes make protein therefor rough ER makes protein. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-powerhouse of cell
-produces most of our energy
-makes energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
-the more energy a cell needs, the more mito. the cell will have |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
post office of the cell
-packaging and sorting for transport out of cell
|
|
|
Term
lysosomes
-lyso-to desolve
-somes-body
|
|
Definition
small sac filled with digestive enzymes
-destroys and breaks down waste materials
-allows cell to kill itself when needed (apoptosis) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
small sac filled w/ enzymes that destroy toxic chemicals
-help detox
-receive free radicals |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
little bubbles that store large materials
-allows lots of large substances into or out of the cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
rod-shaped structures that function in cell division(mitosis)
-help chromosomes unwind so they can be copied for the new cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-cilia-hairlike projections used to move fluids around the cell (respiratory tract/fallopian tubes)
-flagellum- a whiplike tail that provides movement (sperm) |
|
|
Term
the four types of passive movement in membrane transport
passive=no energy |
|
Definition
-diffusion- from areas of high concentration to low
small solubles diffuse through plasma membrane to maintain equilibrium
-osmosis- diffusion of H2O through a membrane
-filtration- the passage of solution forced through a membrane by some other mechanical force
-facilitated diffusion- along concentration gradient using transporters.
|
|
|
Term
active transport
requires energy |
|
Definition
movement of solute using a transporter from low concentrate to high (like swimming upstream) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
movement of lots/large material
|
|
|
Term

Term
|
Definition
bulk transport out of cell |
|
|
Term
phagocytosis "cell eating"
|
|
Definition
membrane engulfs and surrounds large particles which are brought into the cell in a vesicle and digested by a lysozome or peroxizome |
|
|
Term
pinocytosis "cell drinking"
|
|
Definition
same as phago but w/ fluid |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
fluid outside cell has = solute concentrate as cytoplasm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
fluid outside cell has lower solute concentrate than cytoplasm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
fluid outside cell has higher solute concentrate than cytoplasm |
