Term
Three parts of the cell theory.
Definition
-All living things are made of cells
-Basic unit of life
-Cells come from other cells
Term
What is a unicellular organism?
Definition
An organism that is only composed of oone cell and all life's activities occur within the cell.
Term
What is a multicellular organism?
Definition
An organism that is composed of more than one cell.
Term
The ability of cells to divide to form new cells is the basis for all _______ and for the _______ and repair of all multicellular organisms.
Definition
Reproduction, growth.
Term
A eukaryotic animal cell has no ______ or _______.
Definition
Cell wall, central vacuole.
Term
A eukaryotic plant has ______, ________, and ________.
Definition
A cell wall, chloroplasts, a large central vacuole.
Term
A prokaryotic bacteria has little or no ________.
Definition
Organelles
Term
Lysosomes-
Definition
Contain digestive enzymes and break things down like wastes within the cell.
Term
Mitochondria-
Definition
Supply/release energy for the cell
Term
Smooth ER-
Definition
Complex extensive network that transports materials through the cell (are not studded with ribosomes and help process and transport lipids and carbs).
Term
Vesicle-
Definition
Sacs that separate materials from the rest of the cytoplasm (transport substances within the cell).
Term
Cell wall-
Definition
Tough outer wall of most plant cells and some prokaryotic cells (often made of cellulose).
Term
Nucleus-
Definition
Stores genetic information/DNA
Term
Chloroplasts-
Definition
where photosynthesis occurs
Term
Nuclear membrane-
Definition
protects the nucleus-controlling what enters and leaves the cell
Term
Cell membrane-
Definition
Flexible membrane that controls what enters and exits the cell
Term
Ribosomes-
Definition
Produces proteins by joining amino acids-protein synthesis
Term
Rough ER-
Definition
Complex extensive network that transports materials through the cell-studded with ribosomes and helps process proteins
Term
Eukaryotic-
Definition
Cells that contain a nuclei, have membrane bound organelles, and are complex
Term
Cilia-
Definition
short, hair-like projection of cell that aids in movement
Term
Flagella-
Definition
long, whip-like projection of cell that aids in movement
Term
Prokaryotic-
Definition
cells that do not have nuclei, do not have membrane bound organelles, and are simple
Term
Golgi bodies-
Definition
collect, transfer, and distribute materials like proteins throughout the inside and outside of the cell
Term
Vacuole-
Definition
Sacs for storage of salts, water, carbs, etc (large and central for plants, small in animals)
Term
Organelle-
Definition
A cell structure that performs specialized functions with eukaryotic cells
Term
Cytoplasm-
Definition
semi-fluid material inside of the cell containing the organelles and is bound by the cell membrane
Term
cell differentiation-
Definition
cells become specialized in structure and function
Term
Can the process of cell differentiation be reversed?
Definition
no
Term
Order of organ, organ systems, cells, and tissues from least inclusive to most inclusive.
Definition
Cells to tissues to organs to organ systems.
Term
Stem cells-
Definition
unspecialized cell that reproduce themselves and can differentiate into one or more types of specialized cells
Term
Difference between adult and embryonic stem cells.
Definition
Found in bone marrow, not yet differentiated and found in embryos.
Term
True or false: All cells contain the same DNA.
Definition
True
Term
Passive transpot-
Definition
Does not use energy to move materials across the membrane with the concentration gradient (low to high)
Term
Concentration Gradient-
Definition
Difference in concentration
Term
Diffusion-
Definition
the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from high to lw concentraions until equilibrium is reached.
Term
Osmosis-
Definition
the diffusion of water across/through a semi-permeable membrane
Term
Active transport-
Definition
Does use energy to move materials across the membrane against the concentration gradient (low to high)
Term
Semi-permeable-
Definition
Some substances are able to pass through the membrane while others are not.
Term
Facilitated diffusion-
Definition
substances that are not able to directly pass through the membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins going with the concentration gradient from high to low so no energy is used
Term
Hypotonic-
Definition
solute concentrations are higher in the cell rather than outside of the cell. Water flows into the cell causing it to swell.
Term
hypertonic-
Definition
solute concentrations are higher outside of the cell rather inside the cell. Water flows out of the cell and the cell shrivels.
Term
Homeostasis-
Definition
the necessity of an organism to mantain constant or stable conditions
Term
Transport protein-
Definition
type of protein embedded in the cell membrane that can be used to move materials through the membrane
Term
Isotonic-
Definition
solute concentrations inside of the cell are equal to solute concentrations outside of the cell.
Term
Endocytosis-
Definition
taking nutrients into the cell against the concentration gradient with the aid of vesicles
Term
Exocytosis-
Definition
releasing large amounts out of the cell like wastes with the aid of vesicles
Term
Animal cells in hypotonic solutions can burst or ______.
Definition
Lyse
Term
Types of passive transport
Definition
Facilitated diffusion, diffusion, and osmosis.
Term
Types of active transport
Definition
endocytosis and exocytosis
Term
ATP does/does not use energy.
Definition
Does
Term
True or false: G1, S, and G2 are in interphase.
Definition
True
Term
True or false: Interphase is not the longest phase in the cell cycle.
Definition
False.
Term
True or false: Mitosis includes Anaphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Telophase and cytokinesis.
Definition
True
Term
Cytokinesis-
Definition
Division of cytoplasm
Term
Metaphase-
Definition
chromatids move to the center or middle of the cell
Term
Interphase-
Definition
longest phase of the cell cycle-cell growth,protein synthesis, DNA is copied, and preparation for mitosis takes place
Term
Mitosis-
Definition
division of the nucleus
Term
G1-
Definition
DNA is copied
Term
Anaphase-
Definition
sister chromatids are separated from each other as the spindle fibers shorten and move towards the poles.
Term
Prophase-
Definition
the chromosomes become visible, the nucleus breaks down, and spindle fibers appear
Term
What is a checkpoint in the cell cycle?
Definition
where stop/go signals regulate cell cycle
Term
Explain the difference between internal and external signals-
Definition
cell sensing presence of chemical enzymes which one produced inside the cell
Term
Example of how cells rewspond to physical signals in their environment.
Definition
cells sense when thay are too closely packed and cell cycle is turned off
Term
Cancer-
Definition
uncontrollable cell division
Term
Difference between malignant and benign tumors.
Definition
Benign tumors remains at the same site, malignant tumors spread and impare organs.
