Cards

Term

 

 

 

Cytoskeleton

 
Definition

 

 

Helps to maintain cell shape and important for cell motility

 
Term

 

 

 

Cell Membrane

 
Definition

 

 

Regulates traffic of molecules between the cell and its surroundings

 
Term

 

 

 

Microtubules & Microfiliments

 
Definition

 

 

-Help support and shape the cell and function as organelles can move

-form the spindle fibers that manipulate and seperate chromosomes during mitosis

 
Term

 

 
 
Ribosomes
Definition

 

 

the site of protein synthesis, protein builders and synthesizers of the cell

 
Term

 

 

 

Centriole

 
Definition

 

 

seperate during cell division and form spindle fibers

 
Term

 

 

 

Lysosome

 
Definition

 

 

fuse with food vacuoles exposing the food to enzymes, break down large molecules of organelles, human health

 
Term

 

 

 

Flagellum

 
Definition

 

 

the locomotion of the cell

 
Term

 

 

 

Nucleus

 
Definition

 

 

control center of cell, carries most of cells dna, only in eukaryotes

 
Term

 

 

 

Smooth & Rough ER

 
Definition

 

S: synthesises lipids&steriods, detoxifies liver cells, controls calcium release in muscle cell contraction

 

R: makes more membrane, manufactures protien products sent to other locations in cell

 
Term

 

 

 

Golgi Apparatus

 
Definition

 

 

 

recieves, refines, restores, and distributes chemical products of the cell.  Packages molecules to be sent to other locations in cell.

 
Term

 

 

 

Mitochondria

 
Definition

 

 

harvests energy from sugars and other food molecules and uses it to produce another form of chemical energy

 
Term

 

 

 

Nucleolus and Nuclear Envelope

 
Definition

 

N: makes components of ribosomes

 

NE: allows certain materials to pass between nucleus and cytoplasm

 
Term

 

 

 

Central Vacuole

 
Definition

 

 

 

stores organic nutrients in prokaryiotic cell

 
Term

 

 

 

Cell Wall

 
Definition

 

 

 

provides and maintains shape of cell and serves as a protective barrier

 
Term

 

 

 

Chloroplast

 
Definition

 

 

 

performs photosynthesis

 
Term

 

 

 

Animal vs. Plant Cell

 
Definition

 

A: Centriole, lysosome, flagellum

 

P: Central vacuole, chloroplast, cell wall

 
Term

 

 

 

Cell Theory

 
Definition

 

 

1. All living things are composed of cells.

 

2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.

 

3. New cells are produced from existing cells

 
Term

 

 

 

Pro. vs. Euk.

 
Definition

 

 

P: unicellular, bacteria, archae

 

E: multicellular, plants, animals, fungi

 
Term

 

 

 

Diffusion

 

 
Definition

 

 

 

 

the tendency of molecules to move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration until equilibrium is reached

 
Term

 

 

 

Osmosis

 
Definition

 

 

passive transport of water across a semi permeable membrane

-water moves

-movement of water from low solute to high solute

-equilibrium, same sugar to water

-no energy

 
Term

 

 

 

Passive Transport

 
Definition

 

 

-diffusion across semi-permeable membrane

-cell does not use energy for diffusion

-selectively permeable membrane

-ex. water, oxygen

 
Term

 

 

 

Phospholipid Bilayer

 
Definition

 

 

-protiens and phospholipids

-2 fatty acids (hydrophobic,fear water)

-phosphate group(hydrophilic)

 
Term

 

 

 

Endocytosis

 
Definition

 

material enters the cell through the plasma membrane within vesicles

1. Phagocytosis

2. Pinocytosis

3. Receptor-Mediated

 
Term

 

 

 

Phagocytosis

 
Definition

 

 

cellular eating, cell engulfs a particle and packages it with a food vacuole, unspecific

 
Term

 

 

 

Enzymes

 
Definition

-specialized protiens that act as catalysts (speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without using up itself)

-specific for reaction it will catalyze

-active site on enzyme must be perfect complementary shape for substrate

 
Term

 

 

 

Cell Cycle

 
Definition

 

-Interphase (g1,s,g2)

-mitosis

-cytokinesis

 
Term

 

 

 

Mitosis

 
Definition

 

-interphase
-prophase

-metaphase

-anaphase

-telophase

-cytokinesis 

 
Term

 

 

 

Functions of Mitosis

 
Definition

 

-replacement of lost or damaged cells

-reproduction of organisms

-growth

-pass genes on from cell to cell

-single celled organism to become a mulitcellular organism

 
Term

 

 

 

Mitosis Plant vs. Animal Cells

 
Definition

 

In cytokinesis a plant cell forms a cell plate by starting in the center of the cell and moving outward to divide into 2 cells.

 
Term

 

 

 

Dehydration Synthesis

 
Definition

 

 

 

linking of monomers together to form a polymer.  Wateris removed by taking a hydrogen from one molecule and an alcohol from another
