Cards

Term
Golgi Bodies
Definition

function: Processing, packing, distribution of proteins and lipids

 

structure: Stack of membranous saccules

Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
a phospholipid bilayer which protein molecules are embedded. living boundary that separates living contents of cell from the outside environment.
Term
Nuclear Envelope
Definition

Function: allows protiens into the nucleus and subunits of the nucleus

 

Structure:  double membrane  that joins wiht endoplasmic reticulum the surrounds the nucleus.

Term
Mitochondria Structure
Definition

Double Membrane

Cristae

Matix

Term
What is the Nucleus?
Definition

-Concentrated area of chromatin, RNA, and protiens.

-Ribosomal subunit formation.

Term
Nucleolus
Definition

-Ribosomal Subunit

-makes ribosomes

Term
lysosomes
Definition

function: intracellular digestion

 

structure:membranous vesicle containing digestive enzymes

Term
vesicle
Definition

structure: membranous  sac

 

function:storage and transport of substances

Term
Vacuoles
Definition

structure: membranous sacs

 

function: stoage and somtimes turned into lysosomes.

Term
What is phagocytosis?
Definition
endocytosis
engulfing large substances such as cells or parts of cells forming vesicle
uses ATP
Term
What is pinocytosis?
Definition
endocytosis
Vesicle formation brings macromolecules into the cell
uses ATP
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
Substances are moved into cell from environment
makes vesicle and uses ATP
2 types:phagocytosis or pinocytosis
Term
How does exocytosis differ from endocytosis?
Definition
Exocytosis is when vesicle's contents are sent outside of cell. Endocytosis takes stuff into the cell
Term
Isotonic
Definition
a solution with an equal concentration of solute to the inside of the cells in it.
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
a solution which has a higher concentration of solute than the cells in it
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
a solution that has a lower concentration of solute than the cells around it
Term
Isotonic effect on cells
Definition
no change
Term
Hypertonic solution effects on cells
Definition
causes cells to shrink or crenate
Term
effect of hypotonic solution
Definition
causes cells to swell and burst
Term
Mitochondria function
Definition
Term
Smooth ER function
Definition

synthesize lipids

detoxification

 

Term
Smooth ER Structure
Definition
Term
Rough ER structure
Definition

Involved in protien synthesis

lined with ribosomes

Term
Rough ER function
Definition
Term
Ribosome structure
Definition
Term
Ribosome function
Definition
Involved in Protien synthesis
Term
Chromosome structure
Definition
composed of DNA
Term
Four components of a membrane according to the fluid mosaic membrane model
Definition

Phospholipids

Protiens

 

Term
function of the cell membrane?
Definition

Regulate entrance and exit,

into and out of the cell.

Term
selectively permeable
Definition
Term
define Diffusion
Definition
The movement of a substance from high concentration to an area of lower concentration
Term
define Osmosis
Definition
The movement of a water through a membrane.
Term
define Facilitated Transport
Definition
The movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration with the help of a protein channel or carrier
Term
define Active Transport
Definition
The mediated process of moving particles across a biological membrane against a concentration gradient.
Uses a carrier and ATP
Term
what moves across membranes via diffusion?
Definition
Lipid soluble substances
gases, alcohol, fatty acids
Term
osmosis
Definition
water
moves to the area of high solute concentration
through protein lined pores (aquaporins)
Term
moves via facilitated transport
Definition
amino acids, glucose,
ions, nucleotides
Term
moves via active transport
Definition
ions, simple sugars (glucose), nucleotides, amino acids
Term
moves via endocytosis - pinocytosis
Definition
macromolecules like proteins
Term
moves via endocytosis -- phagocytosis
Definition
cells or parts of cells
Term
which increases faster--surface area or volume of a cell?
Definition
volume
