cell 2 Flashcards
basic living unit of the body/life
cell
study of cellular structures
cytology
study of cellular function
Cell Physiology
specialized structures
organelles
separates internal ordans trom external environment encloses organelles w/in the cell outer boundary
tragile. transparent
selective barrier determines what enters or leaves
cell membrane/ plasma
hydrophilic
polar
hydrophobic
non polar
surround nucleus
cytoplasm
contain genetic material ribosomal site
nucleus
outside the cell
Extracellular
involved with the movement of subs
Membrane channels
intercellular communication enables cell recognition
Receptor Molecules
allows substances to bass in or out
selectively permeable
solutes move from higher concentration to lower
diffusion
inside the cell
intracellular
composed of substance dissolved in liquid or gas
solution
substance to be dissolve
solute
liquid or gas
solvent
different in concentration of solute
concentration gradient
allows ions to pass
leak channels
limit the movement of ions
gated channels
diffusion of water/solvent
osmosis
force required to prevent the movement of water
osmotic pressure
cells swell and can undergo lysis
hypnotic solution
