Term
What are cells
Definition
smallest unit of matter that can perform all life funtion
Term
Who named cells cells
Definition
robert hook after little rooms monks lived in
Term
cell membrane
Definition
controls what enters and leaves the cell
Term
whats cell membrane made of
Definition
phospholipids cholesterol and proteins
Term
why are cells small
Definition
everything must be near membrane for communication
Term
what limits cells size
Definition
ratio of surface area to volume more stuff in it bigger it will be
Term
phospholipids
Definition
combination of 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group,
Term
hydrophobic
Definition
waterfearing (lipids)
Term
hydrophillice
Definition
attracted to water (phosphate group)
Term
proteins
Definition
long chains of amino acids
Term
channels
Definition
have to have right charge ions enter or leave
Term
receptors
Definition
match shape in a substance causes chemical change
Term
markers
Definition
identify cell type and if it belongs
Term
eukaryotes
Definition
have nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Term
prokaryotes
Definition
do not have nucleus and membrane bound organneles (bacteria)
Term
cell membranes
Definition
control what enter and leave the cells
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
all living matter inside the cell
Term
ribosomes
Definition
do not have membrane, make proteins found in both types of cells
Term
cells use energy
Definition
release energy stored in food (metabolism)
Term
cells reproduce
Definition
make more of their own kind (mitosis)
Term
cells maintain homeostasis
Definition
maintain relatively constant internal environment
Term
mitochondria
Definition
powerhouse of the cell releases energy stored in food. changes stored energy into usable energy
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
make food using light, water, and co2
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
transports proteins made by attached ribosomes and makes lipids the sends both to golgi apparatus
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
process, package, and deliver protein in a lipid vesicle to cell membrane to be released
Term
plant cells
Definition
do not have centrials
Term
cell wall
Definition
made of cellulose gives cell rigidity
Term
vacuoles
Definition
stores container in plants
central vacuole helps give plants structure
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
pigment uses light energy to make chemical energy
Term
how to cells receive information
Definition
through cell membrane using proteins
Term
electical signals
Definition
closed right ions they open
Term
chemical signals
Definition
shape only accept certain molecules which causes chemical change in cell
Term
cellular identity
Definition
identify cell used by immune system to identify cell type and whether or not it belongs
Term
passive transport
Definition
doesn't use energy
Term
diffusion
Definition
mixing two or more substances by random motion, substances go from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
Term
osmosis
Definition
water molecules diffuse through cell membrane (passive transport)
Term
osmotic pressure
Definition
water pressure created when water diffuses into a cell (passive transport)
Term
Selective transport
Definition
cells choose what to transport moving substances through membranes protein channels
Term
facilitated Diffusion
Definition
some channels allow particular molecules to go in either direction with the ions
Term
Active transport
Definition
requires energy to move molecules from areas of low concentration to high concentration
Term
sodium-potassium pump
Definition
uses energy to move 3 sodium ions out of cell and 2 pottassium into cell, causes slight negative charge (nerve cells)
Term
proton pump
Definition
pumps protons across cell membrane to change stored energy into usable energy
Term
large particle transport
Definition
too big to go through cell membrane or through channels
Term
endocytosis
Definition
moving large particles into cells
Term
pinocytosis
Definition
moving large dissolved particles into the cell ( to drink)
Term
exocytosis
Definition
moving large particles out of cells
