A

Exocytosis is when material EXITS through the cell membrane

35
Q

What is Endocytosis

A

Endocytosis is when material ENTERS through the cell membrane

36
Q

What are the 3 main parts of the Bacteria cell envelope

A

1.Plasma membrane

3. glycocalyx

37
Q

What is the function of the glycocalyx

A

The glycocalyx is the layer on the outside of the cell wall, it’s function is to prevent dehydration

38

-Pumps for active transport

39
Q

What is the Membrane composition

A

Hydrophilic heads- water loving
Hydrophobic tails- water hating

40
Q

Amphipathic Definition

A

Amphipathic is having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties (water loving + water hating components)

41
Q

Active transport definition

A

“against concentration gradient”
Means moving from [ low ] to [ high ]

55
Q

What are Stem cells

A

Stem cells are cells that don’t know what they want to be

56
Q

Where are Stem cells found
