Q

What is Centrioles

A

Paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope. Centrioles play a role in organizing microtubules that serve as the cell’s skeletal system. They help determine the locations of the nucleus and other organelles within the cell.

16
Q

What is Mitochondria

A

Where cellular respiration takes place; provides ATP (energy) for use by the cell

17
Q

What is the formula for Cellular Respiration

A

Glucose+Oxygen->Carbon Dioxide+Water+ATP

18
Q

What is Chloroplast

A

where photosynthesis takes place
contain chlorophyll, a green pigment which helps absorb light from the sun

18
Q

What is Photosynthesis

A

Energy from the sun transformed into glucose

19
Q

What is a Cell Wall

A

the rigid outer portion of the cell provides shape and support
explains why plant cells often look “boxy” under the microscope

19
Q

What is Vacuole

A

stores water and other substances

20
Q

What is the Phospholipid Bilayer

A

The main function is to control the movement of materials in and out of a cell

21
Q

What is Integral Proteins

A

Span the lipid bilayer; are permanently embedded.

22
Q

What does JET RAT stand for

A

intercellular Joining
Enzymic activity
Transport (active or passive)
cell-cell Recognition
Anchorage/ Attachment
signal Transduction

22
Q

What are Peripheral Proteins

A

Associate with the surface of the membrane; are temporarily attached.

22
Q

What is Cholesterol

A

maintain the fluidity of the cell membrane, thereby allowing it to maintain integrity while it changes shape.

23
Q

What is Selective Transport

A

only certain substances are allowed to cross the membrane

24
Q

What is diffusion

A

solvent moves by a concentration gradient

24
Q

What is Osmosis

A

water moves by a concentration gradient

25
Q

Phospholipids are composed of..

A

The head is hydrophilic ( water-loving)
The tail is hydrophobic ( water-fearing)

25
Q

What are the 2 current models of cell membrane

A

Trilaminar Model (Davson & Danielli) 1935
Sandwich like
Fluid Mosaic Model(Singer & Nicolson) 1972
Sandwich with protein embedded

25
Q

What is Dynamic Membrane

A

Cell membranes contain embedded proteins, which serve to physically transport substances across the membrane and carry out chemical reactions
This model of the membrane structure is referred to as the fluid-mosaic model

26
Q

What is Endocytosis

A

taken into the cell

27
Q

Where is the ground layer of the plant

A

Between the ground and vascular layer

27
Q

what is Pinocytosis

A

cell drinking”, is a form of endocytosis which allows cells to obtain molecules dissolved in fluids

27
Q

what is Phagocytosis

A

“cell eating”, is a form of endocytosis which allows cells to obtain solids

27
