25
what are linked to ligand-gated channel that causes change in shape of the channel protein, thus opening or closing the channel
receptor molecules/ receptors
26
example of a receptor molecule that attaches to a channel protein
sodium-potassium pump
27
different movement through the cell membrane
diffusion osmosis filtration mediated transport (facilitated diffusion, active transport)
28
movement of solute from high concentration to low concentration
diffusion
29
diffusion of water (solvent)
osmosis
30
water moves from an are of low concentration to a high concentration of solute
osmosis
31
pressure required to prevent water from moving across a membrane by osmosis
osmotic pressure
32
cell neither shrinks nor swells
isotonic
33
cell shrinks
hypertonic
34
what happens to the cell when it is in a hypertonic solution
crenation
35
cells swell
hypotonicw
36
what will happen to the cell if it is in a hypotonic solution
lysis
37
works like a seive works depending on pressure difference on either side of a partition moves from side of greater pressure to lower
filtration
38
Mediated transport involves the following:
carrier proteins ATP powered pumps channel proteins
39
what are the two characteristics of mediated transport
specificity and saturation
40
this characteristic of the mediated transport shows that the channel needs a specific and a single type of molecule
Specificity
41
this characteristic of the mediated transport shows that the rate of transport islimited to number of available carrier proteins
saturation
42
This type of mediated transport uses energy to allow the cell to accumulate substances
Active transport
43
This type of movement of substances in/out of the cell is the internalization of substances by a formation of a vesicle
endocytosis
44
what are the types of endocytosis
phagocytosis pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis
45
This movement of the cell where accumulates vesicle secretions expelled from cell
exocytosis
46
what is the cellular material outside nucleus but inside plasma membrane
cytoplasm
47
what can be found in the cytoplasm
cytosol cytoskeleton inclusions organelles
48
secretion of digestive enzymes by pancreas
exocytosis
49
secretion of mucus by salivary glands
exocytosis
50
secretion of milk by mammary glands
exocytosis
51
this is a network of several kinds of protein filaments that extend throughout the cytoplasm
cytoskeleton
52
this provides a structural framework for the cell
cytoskeleton
53
cytoskeleton is consists of
microfilaments intermediate filaments microtubules`
54
these are small specialized structures with particular functions
organelles
55
This re-package proteins into secretory vesicles and travel to cell membrane where they are secreted by exocytosis
golgi body
56
this organelle digests large molecules or wastes of the cell through hydrolytic enzymes
lysosome
57
this organelle destroy invading viruses and bacteria,
lysosome
58
power house of the cell
Mitochondria
59
part of the mitochondria that are the infoldings of inner membrane
cristae
59
which organelle is the major site of ATP synthesis
mitochondria
60
part of mitochondria which is the substance located in space formed by the inner membrane
matrix
61
when do mitochondria increase in number
when the cell requires more energy
62
this organelle also contains DNA, one that codes for some of the proteins needed for its production
mitochondria
63
these organelles are helpful in motility
cilia and flagella
64
this organelle move materials across the surface of the cell, are stiff during power stroke but flexible during recovery
cilia
65
this organelle moves and entire cell, and a single of this wiggles in a wavelike pattern; it propels sperm forward
flagella
66
this organelle is the extension of plasma membrane, increase the cell surface area, and one tenth to one twentieth size of cilia
microvilli
67
this is the control center of the cell
nucleus
68
parts of the nucleus
nuclear envelope w nuclear pores nucleolus genetic material (DNA) genes
69
how many chromosomes does human somatic cells have
46
