Cards

Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
1. All cells have one
2. Controls what enters and leaves the cell by maintaining homeostasis
3. provides protection
Term
Lipid bilayer
Definition
2 layers of phospholipids
-head is polar
-tail is non-polar
-proteins are embedded in the membrane
Term
selectively permeable
Definition
allow some molecules to pass through, but not all
Term
Passive Transport (simple)
Definition
cell doesn't use energy
1. Diffusion
2. Facilitated diffusion
3. Osmosis (water across semi permeable membrane)
Term
Active Transport (simple)
Definition
cell uses energy
-Bulk Transport
1. Endocytosis
2. Exocytosis
Term
Passive Transport
Definition
no energy used
-molecules move randomly
-molecules go from and area of high concentration to low concentration
Term
Diffusion
Definition
-Random movement from area of high concentration -> low concentration
- Continues until molecules are evenly spread (equilibrium)
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
- Diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane
- They "select" molecules
- Transport larger or charged molecules
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
High-> low
Term
Active Transport
Definition
Cell uses energy
- actively moves molecules where they are needed
low->high concentration
Term
Protein Pumps
Definition
Transport proteins that require energy to do work
example) sodium/potassium pumps are important in nerve responses
Term
Bulk Transport (Endocytosis)
Definition
1. Endocytosis: taking bulky material into a cell
-cell membrane in folds around particle
"cell eating"
-forms food vacuole
-this is how white blood cells eat bacteria
Term
Bulk Transport (Exocytosis)
Definition
2. Exocytosis: forces material outside of cell in bulk
-membrane surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane
ex) hormones or waist released from cells
Term
Types of Osmotic Solution
Definition
Isotonic- Stays the same
Hypotonic solution- more solute inside cell
-water goes into the cell
Hypertonic Solution- more solute outside cell
-water leaves the cell
Term
Organic Chemistry
Definition
The study of all compounds that contain bonds between carbon atoms
Term
Macromolecules
Definition
-giant molecules formed by polymerization in which large compounds are formed by smaller ones joining together
Term
Monomers
Definition
monomers join together to form polymers
Term
Organic Compounds
Definition
split into 4 groups
Term
1. Carbohydrates
Definition
-made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a ratio of 1:2:1
-source of energy
used by plants and some animals for structural purpose
Term
Monosaccharides
Definition
Carbohydrates)
-Single Sugars = glucose, galactose, fructose
Term
Disaccharides
Definition
Carbohydrates)
-Double sugars = maltose, sucrose, lactose
Term
Polysaccharides
Definition
Carbohydrates)
-Many sugars= Glycogen (animal cells)
starch (plants), cellulose (plant cells)
Term
2. Lipids
Definition
- Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
-fats, oils, and waxes
-store energy
-form biological membrane,and waterproof coverings
-building blocks are 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol
Term
3. Nucleic Acids
Definition
- Contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus
-building blocks are nucleotides
-2 kinds, DNA + RNA
Term
Nucleotides
Definition
consist of 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
Term
DNA
Definition
Nucleic Acids)
-deoxyribonucleic acid
- 1 less oxygen than RNA
Term
RNA
Definition
Nucleic Acids)
-ribonucleic acid
Term
4. Proteins
Definition
- Contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen
- Building blocks are amino acids
-proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes
-form bones and muscle
-transport substances into or out of cells or help fight diseases
Term
Amino Acids
Definition
contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group , (-COOH)
-20 different amino acids are found in nature
