1
Q

Passive Transport

A

Cells that don’t need to use energy go with a concentration gradient and can go through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.

Q

Active Transport

A

Cells that do need to use energy go against the concentration gradient and can go through protein pumps, endocytosis, and exocytosis.

Q

Osmosis

A

The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. They’re 3 types: Hypertonic higher concentration of solutes than water, hypotonic lower concentration of solvents and a higher concentration of water, and isotonic solution where it is balance of solute than the cytoplasm.

Q

Cell theory

A

All living things are made-up of one or more cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms. All cells arrives from existing cells.

16
Q

Eukaryotes

A

an organism made-up of cells that have a nucleus and a membrane-bound organelles

17
Q

Flagellum

A

a long hair like structure that grows out of a cell and enables the cell to move

18
Q

Golgi apparatus

A

Helps ship and package materials to be transported out of the cell

19
Q

Lysosomes.

A

Breakdown worn out cell parts and other wastes.

20
Q

Mitochondria

A

Breaks down sugar and release energy that the cell can use for all of its activities.

21
Q

Nucleus

A

contains the cell’s DNA and gives out directions to parts of the cell

22
Q

organ

A

collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body

23
Q

Organ system

A

a group of organs that work together to perform body functions

24
Q

Organelle

A

one of the small bodies that are found in the cytoplasm of a cell and that are specialized to perform a specific function

25
Q

Prokaryotes

A

a single-celled organism that doesn’t have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles

26
Q

Receptor protein

A

a protein that binds specific signal molecules which causes the cell to respond

27
Q

Ribosomes

A

a cell organelle where protein synthesis occurs

28
Q

Second messenger

A

a molecule that is generated when a specific substance attaches to a receptor on the outside of a cell membrane which produces a change in cellular function

29
Q

Signal

A

anything that serves to direct guide or warn

30
Q

Sodium potassium pump

A

a carrier protein that uses ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell

31
Q

Tissue

A

a group of similar cells that perform a common function

32
Q

Vacuoles

A

Stores fluids

33
Q

Vesicle

A

a small cavity or sack that contains materials in a eukaryote cell

34
Q

Cell Membrane

A

Gives structure and shape. Tells what comes in and out. Cell recognition

35
Q

Cytolysis

A

cells burst bc plenty of water (hypotonic)

36
Q

Plasmolysis

A

cell swells bc loss of water (hypertonic)

37
Q

Cell Surface Markers

A

Identify the cell type

38
Q

Channel Proteins

A

can let Ions, sugars, and amino acids diffuse through the cell membrane with the right size and charge

39
Q
