Term
What do ribosomes do in the cell?
Definition
basically make proteins
Term
What do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells don't have?
Definition
Membrane-bound organelles
Term
What is homeostasis?
Definition
A stable internal environment
Term
What type of cells have a cell membrane?
Definition
It means that they have and unequal sharing of electrons.
Term
What does it mean that the tails are ""nonpolar"?
Definition
It means that they have equal sharing of electrons among atoms.
Term
What kinds of molecules can pass easily though the phospholipid bilayer?
Definition
Small nonpolar molecules like oxygen gas
Term
How do molecules in a cell move?
Definition
high concentration to low
Term
In simple diffusion, molecules move from:
Definition
High concentration to Low concentration
Term
What two molecules can easily pass through the phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane)?
Definition
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Term
Diffusion is a type of
Definition
Passive transport that does not require energy
Term
What do you think "transport proteins" are and do in the cell membrane?
Definition
I think that they transport molecules and proteins through the cell.
Term
What is the job of a transport protein?
Definition
The job is to help transport proteins that are to big.
Term
What kind of things do transport proteins help move?
Definition
They help move polar proteins in the cell.
Term
In facilitated diffusion, large molecules cannot pass across the cell membrane without the help of
Definition
Proteins
Term
Why is facilitated diffusion a type of passive transport?
Definition
They are still allowing things to transport freely without exerting energy.
Term
doesn't require a transport protein to cross the cell membrane
Definition
simple diffusion
Term
requires a protein to move across the cell membrane
Definition
simple diffusion
Term
What happens when the bond holding one of the phosphates in ATP is broken?
Definition
It releases a great amount of energy.
Term
What is the purpose of active transport?
Definition
to force things to move against the concentration gradient
Term
What is the molecule called that provides the energy needed for molecules to move from a low to a high concentration? What is this process called?
Definition
ATP; active transport
Term
What is endocytosis referring to when we are talking about things moving across the cell membrane?
Definition
They are talking about when molecules mover across and form vesicles.
