Term
Anton Van Leewenhoek, Robert Brown, Mathew Schleiden, Theodore Schwann, and Rudolph Virchows finding were summarized in what?
Definition
the Cell Theory
Term
Name the 3 parts of the cell theory
Definition

1.)All organisms are composed of cells.

2.)Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms.

3.)Cells reproduce-come from pre-existing cells.

Term
T/F: Cytology means the study of the cytoplasm.
Definition
False, cytology is the study of cells
Term
T/F: The cells that had no nucleus were called prokaryotic cells.
Definition
True
Term
Which type of cell(not animal or plant) had a nucleus,many organelles, and a cytoskeleton
Definition
Eukaryotic
Term
Besides not having a true nucleus, what else is true about prokaryotic cells?
Definition

-earliest living organism(3.4 BYA)

- smallest living organism

-no nuclear membrane(DNA in cytoplasm)

-No cytoskeleton

-simplest organism EX:bacteria

Term
T/F:Eukaryotic cells came from plant cells
Definition

False, eukaryotic cells come from prokaryotic cells

 

*note, know that eukaryotic cells are in every organism except bacteria!

Term
What is cell size limited by?
Definition
limited by surface area to volume ratio
Term
T/F: As cell size increases, the volume increases more rapidly than surface area.
Definition
True
Term
Name 3 reasons why cells must stay small.
Definition

1.)To allow for proper food and waste exchange.

2.)The nucleus can only control so much volume.

3.)Cytoskeleton can only control so much volume.

Term
T/F: Plant cells have cell walls and chlorplasts while animal cells don't
Definition
True
Term
What is the cell wall?
Definition

permeable membrane on the outside of plasma membrane

-supports+protects

Term
What does a plastid do in plants?
Definition
manufactures and stores food in plants
Term
What is a leukoplast?
Definition
organelle that stores starch, proteins, and lipids
Term
What is the function of a chromoplastid?
Definition
stores light absorbing pigments
Term
What does the central vacuole do?
Definition

-contains water,sugars,ions, and pigments

-large: helps increase the surface area to volume ration by applying pressure to the membrane(pushing it outward)

Term
(This was from cell vocab) What type of cell is a lysosome in?
Definition
Animal Cell
Term
Which is bigger, the chloroplast or the mitochondria?
Definition
Chloroplast
Term
T/F: Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are both double membraned
Definition
True
Term
Chloroplasts and mitochondria have  _ _ _ and          _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and can make certain products.
Definition
DNA and Ribosomes
Term
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria can _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ by division
Definition
Reproduce
Term
What has iner space filled w/ gel like fluid containing an enzyme space to break down carbos?
Definition
Mitochondria
Term
What is carbos?
Definition
chemical energy can be converted to ATP energy
Term
T/F: Plasma membrane is permeable; lets everything in
Definition
False plasma membrane is semi-permeable;lets some stuff in.
Term
What is the plasma membrane?
Definition
interface between interior and exterior of cell
Term
Which organelle is a phospholipid bilayer and embedded with proteins(know both of these)?
Definition
Plasma Membrane
Term
Like a quarter or any type of coin, the plasma membrane has ______ and ______
Definition
heads and tails
Term
The heads on a plasma membrane are _____.
Definition
hydrophilic
Term
The tails on the plasma membrane are ___.
Definition

hydrophobic

 

 

*note, the tails wiggle

Term
What does cholesterol do to the hydrocarbon tails?
Definition
hardens them so they are less flexible and more impermeable
Term
What does the cell membrane work hard to do?
Definition
Keep the cell at homeostasis.
Term
Name the 5 functions of proteins.
Definition

1.)Acts as channels

2.)Act as pumps

3.)Attach to enzymes to speed up reactions(chemical)

4.)Chemical ID tags

5.)Receptors for chemical messengers

Term
What is passive transport?
Definition
movement of molecules without using energy
Term
T/F: Molecules in passive transport move against the concentration gradient.
Definition
False, molecules in passive transport move with the concentration gradient.
Term
Name 3 types of passive transport
Definition
Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, and Osmosis
Term
By definition, what is Diffusion? Facilitated Diffusion? Osmosis?
Definition

1)movement of molecules from a crowded area to a less crowded area.

2)movement with the help of a carrier protein

3)diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane

Term
What are the 3 types of Osmosis?
Definition
Hypotonic,Hypertonic, and Isotonic
Term
If a hypotonic solute(cell) is placed in a hypertonic solution, then what will happen to the cell?
Definition
the insides will shrivel up and shrink
Term
What is an Isotonic solution?
Definition
= in water
Term
What is active transport?
Definition

movement of molecules across a membrane to a region of higher concentration by energy.

 

note:*movement against concentration gradient

*opposite of passive transport

Term
What is exocytosis?
Definition
expelling of material from a cell when a vessicle pushes through and attaches itself to a plasma membrane which then excretes it out of cell
Term
What is endocytosis?
Definition
taking materials into the cell by forming vesicles
Term
Name 2 types of endocytosis
Definition

Pinocytosis-taking in liquids(to remember,pino and pee, pee is a liquid)

Phagocytosis-taking in solids

Term
What are the 4 steps of ER and Golgi apparatus working together?
Definition

1)Rough ER makes protein, Smooth ER makes lipids

2)Carried to Golgi in vessicles

3)Golgi packages,sorts, and modifies them into vesicles

4)Vesicles are sent to the plasma membrane where the contents are excreted

Term
Give an example of active transport.
Definition
Iodine will travel in bloodstream to the thyroid.
Term
Give an example of passive transport.
Definition
food in the intestines go through to the blood stream
Term
What happens to the volume of a cell as surface area increases?
Definition
volume increases
Term
Why do the hydrocarbon tails in a cell wiggle?
Definition

sop that the cell can remain flexible and pliable to

*cholesterol stops this

Term

What is the purpose of the Na+K+ pump?

Is this active or passive?

Definition

1.to keep your body at homeostasis and to make sure that there is more postassium inside the cell and more sodium outside the cell

 

2.active transport

Term
Define solute and solvent
Definition

Solute-the solid that is placed in a solvent

Solvent-the liquid that is capable of dissolving another substance

Term
Name 3 reasons cells kill themselves.
Definition

1.If cells recognize they are mutated or infected

2.If cells take more energy to live than to die

3.Cellular Competion-only so many cells can live in certain parts of the body, the others kill themselves
