Term
What is pictured in the following: [image]
Definition
rough ER
Term
The difference between the smooth and rough ER is that:
Definition
The Rough ER contains ribosomes, and the smooth doesn't
Term
Plants cells contain a ___________ while animal cells do not
Definition
Cell wall
Term
What is the role of the nucleus? (two)
Definition
Contains nearly all of the cell's DNA and controls most cell processes
Term
What surrounds the nucleus and what is the importance of that item?
Definition
Nuclear envelope
Allows materials to move in and out of nucleus
Term
What is the material found in the nucleus called?
Definition
Chromatin
Term
What is chromatin made of?
Definition
DNA bound to protein
Term
During the process of cell division, what does chromatin form to?
Definition
Chromosomes
Term
The small dense regin inside the nucleus is called the _______.

What is it's function?
Definition
Nucleolus
It is where the assembly of ribosomes begins
Term
What is the function of ribosomes?
Definition
They assemble proteins.
Term
The internal membrane system in eukaryotic cells is
Definition
endoplasmic reticulum
Term
What happens in the endoplasmic reticulum?
Definition
Lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exproted from the cell.
Term
Specifically, the rough ER does what
Definition
Involved in the synthesis of proteins
Term
Specifically, the smooth is used for what
Definition
Includes enzymes that perform certain tasks
Term
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
Sorts, modifies and packs proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell.
Term
What is the function of lysosomes?
Definition
Digestion of lipids, carbs, and proteins into small molecules that can be used for the rest of the cells. Removes "junk"
Term
Vacuoles do what..
Definition
store materials inside the cell
Term
What do mitochondria do?
Definition
They convert the chemical energy stored in food into compunds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
Term
What is the function of chlorplasts?
Definition
Capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process known as photosynthesis.
Term
Chloroplasts and mitochondria, unlike other organelles, contain their own...
Definition
DNA
Term
What is the function of the cytoskeleton?
Definition
Supports the cell
Term
What is the cytoskeleton made up of?
Definition
A network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintian its shape.
Term
What are microtubules
Definition
hollow microfilaments made up of proteins known as tubulins.
Term
Centriols help to...
Definition
organize cell division
Term
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Definition
Regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Term
What are cell membranes made up of?
Definition
Lipid bilayer with embedded protein
Term
What does the cell wall do?
Definition
provides support for the cell
Term
What are most cell walls made of
Definition
fibers of carbs and proteins
Term
Particles in cells tend to move from a ___________ _________ area to a _________ ________ area.
Definition
high-concentrated
low-concentrated
Term
Diffusion is when...
Definition
cell particles move from a high-concentrated area to a low concentrated area
Term
You know a concentration has reached its equilibrium if...
Definition
solute is the same throught the system
Term
True or false?
Substances diffuse across membranes without requiring the cell to use energy
Definition
True
Term
What is osmosis?
Definition
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Term
When a substance is isotonic it...
What does the cells structure look like?
Definition
an equal concentration of solutes in and outside of the cell.

The shape is regular
Term
What is the result of hypertonic solution, and why is it this way?
Definition
The cell is distorted because there is an unequal solute concentration between the solution and the cell
Term
There are less solutes in the solution then in me...what kind of solution am I?
Definition
Hypotonic solution
Term
Why is it easire for some molecules such as sugar glycose, to pass through the cell membrane?
Definition
Because cell membranes have protein channels that make it easier for the molecules to cross
Term
What is facilitated diffusion?
Definition
When molecules are helped across the membrane
Term
Although fast and specific facilitated diffusion is still...
Definition
diffusion
Term
