cell biology Flashcards
whats diffusion
the random movement from a region of high concentration to low concentration through a partially permamble membrane
what is osmosis
the diffusion of water molecules from a dilute solution to low concentraion of water across a selectively permamble membrane
features of prokaryotic cells
no true nucleus, free dna, no organelles, 0.1-5um(size)
features of eukaryotic cells
nucleus, 10-100 um, organelles
features of stem cells
used in dementia and lukemia, is a undifferentiated cell, not specalised, high success rate
what is the nucleus
brain of the cell
what is the cell membrane
contains what enters and exits
cell wall
supports, gives structure
cytoplasm
makes easy pasage
mitrochondria
takes in nutrients/energy
vacuole
stores water/keeps shape
chloroplasts
absorbs light for photosynthesis
ribosomes
proteins made
what do plant cells contain
nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cell membrane, mitrochondria
what do animal cells contain
nucleus, chloroplasts, cell membrane, cell wall, mitrochondria
