Cell stuff Flashcards
two types of cells
prokaryote and eukaryote
traits of prokaryotic cell
lack nucleus, lack membrane bound organelles, asexual repro, dna is circular, small < 1 micron, single cell
traits of eukaryotic cell
membrane bound nucleus, have membrane bound organelles, asexual and sexual repro, dna is multiple linear strands(chromosones), around 10 microns, can be multicellular
define cell membrane(animal) (think of notes drawing)
phospolipid bilayer has trans membrane protein (TMP) and surface protien(SP) protien and cholesterol. is selectly permeable to small nonpolar molecules + H2O(slightly)
define cytoplasm
cell fluid (H2O, dissolved molecules and organelles)
3 ways to cross cell membrane
simple diffusion, carrier mediated transport, and endocytosis/exocytosis
define simple diffusion
movement of solute(particles) from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration (passive)(dye spreading in water)
define solute
particles being dissolved in a solution
define solvent
thing that’s doing the dissolving(mostly H2O)
define osmosis
passive net movement of H2O from an area of high concentration to low concentration
define tonicity
total solute concentration of a solution
define hypertonic solution
higher tonicity than solution its compared to
define hypotonic solution
lower tonicity than solution its compared to
define carrier mediated transport
trans membrane protien, used to transport solute across membrane
two parts of carrier mediated transport
facilitated diffusion and active transport
define facilitated diffusion (seesaw)
passive movement of molecules along the concentration gradient. membrane allows only selective molecules and ions to pass through it. ex: use channel protein(seesaw type thing) or carrier protien
define active transport
TMP and energy to move solute across membrane. movement of molecules or ions/solute across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
define endocytosis/exocytosis
endo- phagocytosis where cell engulfs food
exo- cell expells material
define endo membrane system(ptss)
group of membrane bound organelle that produce, transport, secrete and store stuff
function of nucleolus
build ribosomes to make proteins
