Biology Midterm: chp 6 Flashcards
cell theory main ideas
- all living things are made up of cells
- cells are basic units of structure and function
- cells come from other cells
how microscopes aid the study of cells
helped scientists learn about cells structure me their functions
animal cell
no presence of chloroplast
not encased by a cell wall
have a plasma membrane and nucleus
plant cell
presence of chloroplast
encased by cell wall
has a plasma membrane and nucleus
prokaryotic cells
lacks nucleus
lacks other organelles
eukaryotic cells
has a nucleus and membrane
ha internal organelles with membrane
structure of cellular membrane
negative hydrophilic heads on outside with positive hydrophobic tails inside. (phospholipid bilayer)
proteins in cellular membrane
many types of proteins are embedded in the membranes phospholipid bilayer
- proteins perform most of the membranes specific functions - carrying out important Chem reactions - help cells communicate/recognize each other - move substance across membrane
diffusion
net movement of the particles if a substance from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated (results in equilibrium)
equilibrum
molecules moving in one direction is equal to the number of molecules loving in the other direction
passive transport
occurs when molecules move from high concentration to low concentration and requires no energy
osmosis
passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane
(osmosis will allow water to move from the hypertonic solution on one side of a membrane to the hypertonic solution on the other side until the concentrations of water and solute are the same on both sides)
active transport
requires energy
low concentration to high concentration
how large molecules move across a membrane
large particle movement across a membrane depends I. being packaged in vesicles (small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and within a cell)
role of nucleus in a cell
contains DNA which directs the cells activities
