Biology unit #2 Flashcards
what is active transport?
the movement across a semi-permeable membrane that requires energy input from the cell
How does active transport work?
protein embedded in the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
active transport cost energy as substances is moving from low concentration to high concentration
when does active transport happen?
it happens when controlling how transport protein opens and closes to one side of the membrane to another.
what is ATP?
The “battery” of the cell
is a phosphate groups is removed, and energy is used from that reaction to change the shape of the protein
why does cell need to pump out of calcium?
- calcium is the signaling molecule
-helps the the muscle contraction and relax
what effects active transport?
- temperature
- concertation of ions/molecule that being transport
- ATP availability
what is bulk transport?
the name of two process that move very large molecules, small amount of fluid or large particles
what is exocytosis?
vesicle fuses with the membrane and releases whatever was in the vesicle to the outsie of the cell
what does exocytosis carries out?
-large waste
-signaling proteins
what is endocytosis?
part of the membrane folds in to form a vesicle inside, containing material that was outside the cell membrane
what does endocytosis carry in?
-large molecules
-large material
-large amounts of water
what does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
“charged battery”
two high power bonds
what does ADP stand for?
Adenosine diphosphate
“Battery with only partial charge left.”
what does AMP stand for?
Adenosine monophosphate
“uncharged battery”
what does ATP do?
the molecule that cell’s use for energy. is the energy “currency” when a muscle needs energy contact it “spends” converting into ADT
what is hunger signal’s?
forms of AMP let the cells know when they are hungry
when these levels are high they know they need to eat more
how does chemical reactions happen in the cell?
the chemical reactions need energy and they use the ATP as a battery to help power different chemical reactions.
what is photosynthesis?
the process plants use to harvest the sun’s light energy and store as a chemical energy
where does aerobic cellular respiration phase take place?
mitochondria
what are the parts in cellular respiration?
6 glucose + oxygen -6 carbon dioxide + 6water
34 ADP + 36p- 36 ATP
what do both plant and animal cells have?
mitochondria
what is an organelle?
a structure in a cell that performs a specific function
