|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Separates the cytoplasm from the cell’s external environment. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is when molecules are moved into or out of a cell without the cell using energy. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The movement of solutes in solution from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.Think of spraying perfume, and how it slowly moves across the room. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Movement of solutes from high concentration to lower concentration except this is through protein channels integrated into cell membrane. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane.It is permeable to water but not permeable to most other molecules. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Solute concentration higher than cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Solute concentration lower than cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Solute concentration equal to that of cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This DOES require energy. Particles move up or against a concentration gradient. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the engulfing of particles into the cell forming a vesicle around the particle. Often how unicellular organisms feed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Form of Endocytosis. Is cell eating large particles. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Form of Endocytosis. Cell drinking extracellular fluid. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the expulsion of particles out of the cell usually for waster removal or intercellular communication. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is composed of proteins and carbohydrates woven together to create a “chain link fence” around the cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| separates the cells internal environment from its external environment. Its job is to regulate the uptake/export of materials into and out of the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organelles that breakdown sugars to release energy to power the cell processes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| are double membrane organelles which absorb sunlight energy and create glucose via photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a series of interconnected membranes where assembled proteins will be folded and packaged for distribution around the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in the synthesis of membrane lipids and the removal of waste from the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| are destined for specialized parts of the cell like other organelles, the cell membrane, or for secretion out of the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| modifies and tags proteins and other materials for shipment outside or around the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| are special types of vesicles full of digestive enzymes that break down cellular materials, waste, and old cellular organelles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| maintaining constant internal physical conditions of an organism |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| group of similar cells that performs a particular function. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| groups of tissues that work together to perform a specific function. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a specific protein to whose shape fits that of a specific molecular messenger, such as a hormone. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Only unicellular organisms. Have no nucleus to hold their DNA. They only have a single, circular chromosome made from “naked” DNA or DNA without histone proteins.Divide by binary fission. Don not seperate their genitic material within the nucleus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Can be unicellular or multicellular. Have a nucleus to hold their DNA. They multiple linear chromosomes composed of DNA and proteins called histones. DO Seperate their genetic material from within the nucleus. |
