Cards

Term
Active Transport
Definition
moves substances agianst their consteration gradient (usually powered by ATP) ex:the sodium potassium pump
Term
Carrier/Channel proteins
Definition
Moderates the entrance of substances across the membrane (disneyword entrance)
Term
Tonicity
Definition
The ability of a substance to cause a cell to gain or loose water.
Term
Isotonic solution
Definition
solution consteration is the same as that inside the cell: no net water movement across the membrane. ISO=EQUALL
Term
Hypertonic Soultion
Definition

solution consteration is greater than that inside the cell; cell looses water.

HYPER=MORE THINGYS OUTSIDE OF THE CELL...there hyper so they want to be outside.

Term
Hypotonic Soultion
Definition

solution consteration is less than that inside of the cell; cell gains water.

HYPO= (O)...A BUBBLE, there bubble children and want to stay safe inside of the cell.

Term
Osmoregulation
Definition
the control of water balance, is a nessacary adaptation in organismis with a hypertonic or hypotonic situation.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
The diffusion of water across a selectivly permable membrane
Term
Passive transport
Definition
requires no energy for the cell to make it happen...(channel and carrier proteins)
Term
Constration Gradient
Definition
the differance in consteration of a substance from one area to another
Term
Carrier Proteins
Definition
bind to molecules and change shape to shuddle them across the membrane (specific to the substance it moves)
Term
Light microscope
Definition
visable light passes through the speciem and through glass lenses magnifing the image.
Term
Organells
Definition
membrane enclosed components of the cell
Term
Electon microscopes
Definition
used to study subcellular structure
Term
The difference between scanning and transmission telescopes
Definition

scanning... shoots electrons onto the specimen. (3-D)

Transmission... shoots electrons through the specimen.

Term
cytosol
Definition
semifluid substance inside the cell
Term
Plasma Membrane
Definition
A selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxgyen, nutrients and waste.
Term
Where is most of the DNA kept
Definition
the nucleus
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Use the information from DNA to make proteins
Term
Nucluar envalope
Definition
seprates the nucleus from the cytolapsm
Term
Nucleolous
Definition
located within the nucleus and is the site of ribosomal RNA syntheisis.
Term
Where do ribosomes carry out protein synthisis?
Definition

in the cytosol

on the outside or the ER

Term
Smooth ER
Definition

senthisizes lipids

metabolizes carbohydrates

detoxifing poisons

Term
Rough ER
Definition
membrane factory of the cell
Term
golgi apperatus
Definition
the packaging center of the cell
Term
phagasotosis
Definition
cellular eating
Term
how are food vacolues formed?
Definition
by phagosytosis
Term
Central Vacolues
Definition
found in plant cells; holds organic compounds and water
