Q

Nucleus

A

Contains the DNA, and directs all cellular activity. Densely stained part is nucleolus, where ribosomes are produced

20
Q

Nuclear Envelope

A

Double-membrane surrounding the nucleus, that has nuclear pores to allow transport to allow transport of materials into and out of the nucleus

21
Q

Ribosomes

A

Small complexes that translate genetic information (DNA) into proteins

22
Q

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)

A

Studded with ribosomes and packages and transports secretory protein. Connected with the nucleus

23
Q

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)

A

Not studded with ribosomes, synthesizes lipids and packages them for transport to other parts of the cell

24
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Recieve transport vesicles from the ER. ER products are modified and stored, then sorted, repackaged, and shipped to other destinations in the cell

25
Q

Lysosomes

A

Membrane sacs containing digestive enzymes within an acidic environment. Used to breakdown food particles, kill infectious micro-organisms, and to recycle damaged or worn-out cell parts. Only in animal cells

26
Q

Vacuoles

A

Membrane-bound sacs used for storage of food, water, mineral, and other substances. Plants have a large central vacuole that is important for storage and water regulation

27
Q

Mitochondria

A

Has 2 membranes, the inner being highly folded. Where cellular respiration occurs to generate ATP

28
Q

Chloroplasts

A

Has 2 membranes, containing flattened membranous sacs with chlorophyll. Where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy

29
Q

What is the plasma membrane made out of

A

The plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and cholestrol

30
Q

Phospholipids

A
  • Have a phosphate head and two fatty acid tails
  • Phosphate head is hydrophilic (polar)
    Face out toward watery fluid
  • Fatty acid tails are hydrophobic (non-polar)
    Face in toward interior of bilayer away from the water
31
Q

Proteins

A
  • Can be embedded in or attached to the phospholipid bilayer
  • Transports specific substances into or out of the cell
32
Q

Fluid Mosiac Model

A
  • States that the membrane is a “fluid” structure with a “mosiac” of various proteins embedded in or attached to a bilayer of phospholipids
  • Fluid because the components of the membrane are in constant motion
  • Mosiac because proteins are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer
33
Q

Cell Membrane Function

A

1) Gives shape and structure to the cell
2) Acts as a biological barrier, separating and protecting the cell from its surroundings
3) Regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell

34
Q

Selective Permeability

A
  • Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic and can easily cross the lipid bilayer of the membrane
  • Polar molecules are hydrophilic and have difficulty passing through the hydrophobic core of the membrane
  • Charged molecules have a sphere of water molecules around them that prevents their passage through the membrane
  • Large molecules don’t fit
35
Q

Selective Permeability - Transport Proteins

A
  • Channel: Hydrophilic channel that allows for polar and charged molecules to pass through
  • Carrier: Holds onto certain molecules and changes shape to shuttle molecule across membrane
36
Q

Passive Transport

A

Diffusion of a substance across a membrane with no energy investment; No energy since it moves down the concentration gradient because it represents potential energy

37
Q

Diffusion

A
  • Occurs across a cell membrane if there is a concentration gradient
  • Each type of molecule diffuses along its own concentration gradient, independently of other molecules
  • Only small, hydrophobic, uncharged solute molecules are able to diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer
38
Q

Osmosis

A
  • The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
  • Occurs when a concentration gradient exists for solute molecules that cannot diffuse
  • Water diffuses to balance the concentration
  • Membranes have channel proteins called aquaporins that allow movement of water
39
Q

Hypotonic

A
  • Solute concentration of the solution is less than that of the cell
  • Water enters the cell
  • Animal cells swell and lyse
  • In plant cells, uptake of water creates turgor pressure that pushes out on the cell wall and keeps the plane cells firm
40
Q

Isotonic

A
  • Solute concentration of the solution is the same as that of the cell
  • No net movement of water
  • Animal cells do best in isotonic environments
  • Plant cells become limp because there is no turgor pressure
41
Q

Hypertonic

A
  • Solute concentration of the solution is more than that of the cell
  • Water leaves the cell
  • Animal cells become shriveled
  • Plant cells undergo plasmolysis
42
Q

Faciliated Diffusion

A
  • Diffusion of solute particles across the membrane with help of transport proteins
  • Transport proteins provide hydrophilic passageways that allow small, polar, molecules and ions to cross
43
Q

Active Transport

A
  • Uses energy (ATP) to move solutes against their concentration gradients
  • Carrier proteins called “protein pumps” are the transport proteins involved
44
Q

Bulk Transport

A
  • Transportation of large molecules
  • Large molecules must be packaged in vacuoles or vesicles in order to be transported across the membrane
  • Requires ATP
45
Q

Endocytosis

A
  • The cell takes in material by forming new vacuoles/vesicles from the plasma membrane
  • Plasma membrane sinks inward to form a picket. The picket deepens and pinches in, forming a vacuole/vesicle
46
Q

Exocytosis

A
  • The cell exports material by fusing vesicles with the plasma membrane
  • A transport vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane and releasing the contents outside
