Bio Exam Unit 1 and 2 Flashcards
Stucture and function of organelles
What is the Mitochondria
Its cell’s primary site of energy production
found both plant and animals cell
Stucture and function of organelles
What is the Golgi Body
is an organelle that “helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell.”
-Is found in both animal and plant cells
- located near the nucleus

Stucture and function of organelles
Where is the Nucleus and what does it do
The nucleus is the Control Center of the cell it contains DNA in the form of chromosomes and controls what the cell does and when
-It is located in plant and animal cells
In the middle of the cell
Stucture and function of organelles
What does the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum do and were is it found
transports protein and carries out
protein synthesis
In both plant and animal cell
located near the Gogi body
Stucture and function of organelles
What does the smooth Endoplasmic reticulum do and were is it found
transports lipids and carries out lipid synthesis
In both plants and animal cells
it is located near the cell periphery
Stucture and function of organelles
what is the Chloropast and were is it found
- only found in plant cells
- its located within the mesophyll of the plant cell
- is responable for Photosynthsis
Stucture and function of organelles
What is the Cell Wall and were can it be found
- A sturdy plasma membrane that provides strength structure and structure to the plant
- Is only in a plant cell
- is located on the outside of the cell
Stucture and function of organelles
What is the Large vacuole and were is it found
Is found in Plant cells
stores minerals within the cell
Stucture and function of organelles
What is a Ribosome and were can it be found
carries out most of the protein synthesis
in both plant and animals
stucture of a cell memberane
What is Pospholipids
Stucture and function of organelles
What is Transport proteins
facilitating translocation of water and solutes, such as inorganic ions, hormones, amino acids, sugars and other molecules, across biological membranes.
Stucture and function of organelles
What is Cholesterol
A waxy, fat-like substance made in the liver, and found in the blood and in all cells of the body.
Transport across the cell membrane
what is Simple Diffusion
A process in which the substance moves through a semipermeable membrane or in a solution without any help from transport proteins
Transport across the cell membrane
What is Facilitated Diffusion
a type of diffusion in which the molecules move from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration assisted by a carrier.”
Transport across the cell membrane
What is Osmosis
movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
Transport across the cell membrane
What is Active Transport
an energy-driven process where membrane proteins transport molecules
Transport across the cell membrane
What is Bulk Transport
a mode of transport of large quantities of materials and food particles across the membrane
Transport across the cell membrane
what is Endocytosis in relation to Bulk Transport
invagination of large areas of plasma membrane to form endosomal-like compartments
Transport across the cell membrane
What is Exocytosis in relation to Bulk Transport
Exocytosis is a process for moving large molecules out of the cell to the cell exterior
Suface area to volume ratio
A greater surface area and smaler volume,or high SA:V, can help a cell Exchange materials effciently with the enviroment
Binary Fission
the process of one cell simply dividing into two
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
G1
- Increasing the volume of cytosol
- synthesising proteins for DNA replication
- Replicating it’s organelles
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
S
During S phase the cell replicates its DNA turing one chromsome into two
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
G2
G2 phase is the final stage of interphase where the cell continues to grow and prepare itself for mitosis
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
M
Separation of sister chromatids and the formation of two new nuclei
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
G0
Cell Resting Stage
Phases of Mitosis
What is Prophase
- Spindle fibers appear
- chromosomes condense
- breakdown of nuclear membrane
