Term
The function of this provides a boudary around the cell and acts as a place for chemical reaction to occur
Definition
plasma membrane funtion
Term
small organs found inside a cell that perform a specific function for the cell
Definition
organelles
Term
what does some mean
Definition
body
Term
synthesizes proteins (enzymes, hormones, muscle); the surface is studded with ribosomes
Definition
rough ER
Term
synthesizes lipids (such as phospholipids, waxes); it lacks ribosomes on its surface
Definition
smooth ER
Term
this is a sac like organelle found in the cytoplasm
Definition
peroxisome
Term
This organelle appears to be a stack of flattened pancakes and at the edges are rounded vesicles and vacuoles
Definition
golgi apparatus
Term
modifies, packages, and secrete substances from the cell. Also makes another organelle called the lysosome
Definition
golgi apparatus
Term
these organelles are larger than ribosomes and are found free in the cytoplasm. They are produced by the Golgi
Definition
lysosome
Term
folded outer and inner membrane and often called the powerhouse of the cell because it is the site of cellular respiration in which glucose and oxygen are converted into ATP which is a energy molecule used by your body
Definition
mitochondria
Term
composed of tubes of protein called microtubules
Definition
centrioles
Term
believed to be used in mitosis and meiosis in order to help pull the chromosomes apart; form the basal bodies that give rise to cilia and flagella
Definition
centrioles
Term
network of proteins called microtubules and microfilaments for right under the plasma membrane
Definition
cytoskeleton
Term
forms a flexible internal framework for the cell
Definition
cytoskeleton
Term
move in unison to clean the respiratory tract of debris or to move an egg from the fallopian tube to the uterus
Definition
cilia
Term
moves the cell
Definition
flagella
Term
modifies, packages, and secretes substances from the cell
Definition
golgi apparatus
Term
recycling center where damaged organelles can be sent
Definition
lysosomes
Term
site of cellular respiration where glucose and oxygen are converted to ATP
Definition
mitochondria
Term
forms an envelope around the cell; described as "selectively permeable"
Definition
plasma membrane
Term
synthesises lipids or proteins upon receipt of directions from nucleus
Definition
ER
Term
genetic control center of the cell where DNA is housed
Definition
nucleus
Term
contains hydrogen peroxide to detoxify substances such as free radicals
Definition
peroxisomes
Term
can be found on the endoplasmic reticulum or free in the cytoplasm; produces proteins
Definition
ribosomes
Term
can be described as rough or smooth
Definition
ER
Term
short hair-like structures that can create a current by beating in unison
Definition
cilia
Term
long tail-like whip that propels sperm
Definition
flagella
Term
semi-fluid medium that helps hold the organelles into place
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
composed of microtubules; help form the bases of cilia and flagella
Definition
centrioles
Term
stores nucleic acids
Definition
nucleus
Term
powerhouse of the cell
Definition
mitochondria
Term
connected to the nucleus by a network of membranes
Definition
ER
Term
composed of 2 layers of lipids embedded with proteins
Definition
plasma membrane
Term
each phospholipid has __________ and ____________
Definition
2 water fearing tails (hydrophobic) and 1 water-loving heads (hydrophilic)
Term
how membranes move substances into the cell
Definition
membrane transport
Term
substances (solid, liquid, or gas) dissolved by solvents in a solution
Definition
solutes
Term
substances that dissolve solutes
Definition
solvents
Term
contain a solvent and a solute
Definition
solutions
Term
means the movement of the substance across the membrane is passive and no energy is required
Definition
passive methods
Term
what are the 3 types of passive methods
Definition
diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
Term
means that the movement of substance across the membrane is active, and energy or ATP is required
Definition
active methods
Term
when substances move across the membrane from high to low
Definition
diffusion
Term
examples of diffusable substances
Definition
steroids, fats, oxygen, carbon dioxide
Term
the diffusion of water across a membrane through channels called aquaporins
Definition
osmosis
Term
type of selective transport in which specific substances are moved into a cell by means of protein channels
Definition
facilitated diffusion
Term
from low to high is
Definition
active methods
Term
active methods include:
Definition
endocytosis and exocytosis
Term
import of large molecules into the cell
Definition
endocytosis
Term
"cell eating" in which the cell incorporates large sacs (vacuoles)
Definition
phagocytosis
Term
"cell drinking" in which the cell incorporates smaller sacs (vesicles)
Definition
pinocytosis
Term
export of large molecules from a cell
Definition
exocytosis
Term
type of passive transport invlolving protein channels
Definition
facilitated diffusion
Term
type of transport requiring the use of energy
Definition
active transport
Term
passive transport type involving movement through the phospholipid bilayer
Definition
diffusion
Term
type of transport requiring the use of a protein pump to move substances agains the concentration gradient
Definition
active transport
Term
diffusion of water
Definition
osmosis
Term
any type of transport in which the substances move with the concentration gradient
Definition
passive transport
Term
movement of large substances with the concentration gradient requires the use of a protein channel
Definition
facilitated diffusion
Term
type of transport in which substance is moved against its concentration gradient
Definition
active transport
Term
water always follows which substance during diffusion and osmosis
Definition
salt or the highest solute concentraion
Term
a cell is moving some small molecules with their concentration gradient through the phospholipids. What type of membrane transport is the cell using?
Definition
diffusion
Term
a cell is moving a large sac out by having it fuse with the plasma membrane: then the sac ruptures once outside the cell to release its contents. What type of membrane transport is this?
Definition
exocytosis
Term
cells can have 2 sets of chromosomes known as
Definition
diploid
Term
on the other hand, sex cells can have 1 set of chromosomes known as
Definition
haploid
Term
what kinds of cells in our bodies exist in the diploid state?
Definition
cymatic
Term
what kinds of cells in our bodies exist in the haploid state?
Definition
gametes
