CELL Flashcards
2 types of cells in the body
sex cells and somatic cells
the cytoplasm consists of
cytosol + organelles
4 major functions of the PM
- physical barrier
- regulates exchange of material with the environment
- shows sensitivity to respond to changes in the ECF
- provides cell to cell communication, adhesion, and structural support
4 components of PM
- phospholipids
- proteins
- glycolipids
- sterols
glycoproteins and glycolipids form the
GLYCOCALYX COATING
function of glycocalyx
protection
helps cells survive in stressful environments
are glycolipids and gllycoproteins on the inner or outer layer
outer
what type of protein can be channels
integral proteins
peripheral proteins can be on the inside or outer layer T or F
T
glycolipids are associated only with the _____ and many serve as ___
outer layer
receptors
what stabilizes the cell membrane structure
sterols
membrane allows some material to pass through while inhibiting other material from crossing
selectively permeable
nothing passes
impermeable
are endocytosis and exocytosis passie or active
active
3 forms of passive transport
diffusion
osmosis
facilitated diffusion
osmolarity
total concentration of solute particles in solution
most diffusion of water occurs through
aquaporins
a hyperosmotic solution has
high osmolarity
a hypotonic solution ___ water relative to the cell
loses
solutes are passively transported across a PM by a carrier protein
facilitated diffusion
the cytoskeleton consists of
MT and MF
microvilli contain
microfilaments
what increases the SA/V ratio of a cell
microvilli
what are centrosomes made of
2 centriolles = 9 MT triplets
cilia function
move cell
cilia made of
MT doublets in a 9+2 array
ribosomes are
RNA + protein
what is a network of channels through the cytoplasm
ER
what removes damaged organelles or pathogens
lysosomes
what catabolizes fats and neutralizes toxic compounds
peroxisomes
what synthesizes proteins
ribosomes
osmosis
water molecules moving down a concentration gradient
can facilitated diffusion be unidirectional
yes, but can also be bidirectional depending on conc gradient
