Term
passive transport
Definition
mechanism by which a concentratio gradiant arrives the movement of a solute
Term
facilitated transport
Definition
requires no energy input
Term
active transport
Definition
mechanism by which a solute is moved across a cell membrane against its concentration gradiant through a transport protein
Term
Compare the function limitations and uses of the types of microscopes- simple, compound transmission electron and scanning electron
Definition

electron microscopes-use electrons instead of visible light to illuminate samples

transmission electron microscopes-electrons form an image after they pass through a thin specimen

scanning electron microscopes-direct a beam of electrons back and forth across a surface of a specimen

Term
describe the modern cell theory
Definition

every living organism consists of one or more cells

cell is the structual and functional unit of all organism a cell is the smallest unit of life, individually alive even as part of a multicelled organism

all living cells come from division of other, preexisting cells

cells contain hereditary material, which they pass to their offspring during division

Term
describe the reasons for the limit to cell size
Definition
surface to volume ratio
Term
compare prokaryotes ad eukaryotes. why are internal membranes an advantage to cells
Definition

prokaryotic cells-usually smaller and simpler, none has a nucleus

eukaryotic cells-divided into various functional compartments including a nucleus

Term
describe the fluid mosaic model
Definition
describes the organization of cell membranes, by this model, a cell membrane is a mosaic, a mixed composition of mostly phopholipids, with steriods, proteins, and other molecules dispersed among them
Term
name the types of membrane proteins
Definition

adhesion proteins-fasten cells to other cells

recognition proteins -unique identity tags for each individual or species

receptor proteins bind to a particular substance outside of the cell

transport proteins-integral membrane proteins that move specific ions or molecules across a lipid bilayer

Term
compare the features of plant and animal cells
Definition
Term
describe the function fo the endomembrane system. trace the movement of a protein from formation through the endomembrane system to the outside of the cell
Definition
Term
compare the smooth ER and the rough ER in terms of their functions as well as appearance
Definition
