Q

Chloroplasts: Cell Wall; Vacuoles

A
  • Where energy is made is plant cells, contain chlorophyll, rather large double membrane-bound structures
  • Cell wall composed of fats and cellulose, surround cell-membrane adding protection
  • Used for storage or degrade unwanted substances

Q

Nucleus, Nucleolus, Chromatin

A
  • Control center (Brain of cell); Nuclear Envelope surrounds; Contains Chromatin
  • Dark Region in nucleoplasm; where RNA is produced/Stored; Involved in interactions between Nucleus and cytoplasm
  • Hereditary material, condenses to chromosomes during cell division; Protein and DNA

Q

Smooth ER; Rough ER

A
  • System of flattened tubes, sacs, or canals; Produces lipids and moves them throughout cell; Small pieces can break off (blebbling) creating vesicles (Helps to detoxify drugs and poisons in liver cells)
  • Like SER but has ribosomes attached (hence Rough)

Q

Golgi Body (Apparatus)

A

-Stack of 6+ flattened sacs; one side receives protein-filled vesicles, sorts proteins and packages them in vesicles on otherside; Manufacturing, warehousing, sorting, and shipping

Q

Vacuoles; Vesicles; Lysosomes

A
  • Storage for water, nutrients, and wastes
  • Small Vacuole, made from golgi body/in-folding cell membrane
  • Special Vacuole made from golgi body, contains powerful hydrolytic enzymes; digests substances that enter the cell, and unneeded organelles

Q

Mitochondria

A

Burns Glucose to create ATP - Cellular Respiration (uses oxygen gives of carbon dioxide) (C6H12O + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy) Powerhouse - Their inner membranes loop back and forth through the inner fluid (matrix) increases surface area and produces shelf-like structures called cristae

A
  • internal structure to maintain cell shape, anchor organelles (Microfilaments; microtubes)
  • Short, hair-like structure; used for locomotion with many unicellular organisms
  • Like cilia but longer

Q

Cell membrane structure; Fluid Mosaic model

A
  • Early theory; protiens sandwiched between 2 layers of phospholipids
  • Accepted theory; double layer of phospholipids but proteins are scattered throughout membrane; have polar and non-polar regions
17
Q

Impermeable; Permeable; semi permeable; Selectively permeable

A
  • Nothing passes through
  • most things pass through
  • Smaller molecules not larger
  • only certain molecules pass through
18
Q

Diffusion

A

Moves from high to low concentration area until even. No membrane, carrier, or ATP required

19
Q

Osmosis

A

water moves from high to low concentration across membrane; No energy in form of ATP or carrier required

20
Q

Hypertonic Solution, Hypotonic Solutions, Isotonic Solutions, and Tonicity

A
  • greatest amount of solute
  • Least amount of solute
  • Equal amount of solute
  • refers to concentration of solute in a solution
21
Q

Facilitated Transport (passive)

A

Moves across membrane from high to low solute with carrier molecule. No energy in form of ATP required

22
Q

Active Transport

A

moves from low to high solute across membrane with aid of protein carrier and energy in form of ATP

23
Q

Factors that affect diffusion

A
Surface Area; Volume
Temperature (High=faster)
Surface area (larger=faster)
Concentration gradient (higher=faster)
Size of particles (smaller=faster)
Diffusion Medium (Solid=Slow;Liquid=Faster;Gas=fastest)
24
Q

Endocytosis; Phagocytosis; Pinocytosis; Exocytosis

A
  • Large materials enter the cell
  • a whole cell, bacteria or cell fragment are taken in (cell eating)
  • Smaller molecules are taken in (liquid) (cell drinking)
  • Products/waste exit cell (opposite of enocytosis
