Q

define facilitated diffusion (seesaw)

A

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

21
Q

function of rough endoplasmic reticulation+looks

A

makes proteins that need to be compartmentalized. squiggle outside with ribosomes attached to the outline

22
Q

function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum + looks

A

produces lipids and contains enzymes for detoxification. looks like rough but without ribosomes

23
Q

function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum + looks

A

produces lipids phospolipids, steroids, and contains enzymes for detoxification. looks like rough but without ribosomes

24
Q

function of golgi apparatus+looks(smp)

A

sorts, modifies and packages protein. looks like capital H’s connected to each other.

25
Q

how do the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus work together?

A

EPR is filled with proteins that will go to end of squiggle, cut off in transition vesticle and fuses to top of golgi apparatus H. golgi apparatus expells protein in secretory vesticle and transports it out the cell.

26
Q

define mitochondria +looks

A

double membrane bound organelle that transforms energy from nonusable state to usuable. oval squiggly inside calles criste(a) middle area is called matrix

27
Q

characteristics of mitochondria

A

have own DNA(circular), have own ribosomes(bacteria type), inner membrane is prokaryotic, can reproduce like bacteria, obligate symbiosis (both organisms(cell and mito) need each other to survive)

28
Q

define theory of endosymbiosis

A

proposes certain organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, originated from free-living prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by a larger host cell, eventually forming a symbiotic relationship where the smaller cell lived inside the larger one, providing benefits to both organisms

29
Q

define cytoskeleton

A

protien filaments involved in movement and structure

30
Q

three types of cyto skeleton

A

micro filaments, intermediate filaments , and microtubules

31
Q

define micro filaments +looks(long chain of…)

A

long chains of actin proteins that cause contractions. look like sideways DNA made of circles

32
Q

define intermediate filaments

A

bundles of linear proteins. scaffolding and hold organelles in place

33
Q

define micro tubules + produced by? + looks

A

tubule arrangement of tubulin. move and transport stuff. produced by microtubule organizing center. looks like tube made of circles

34
Q

define primary(1°) cell wall

A

outer layer, thin, flexible, all plant cells have it

35
Q

define secondary(2°) cell wall

A

inner layer, thick, rigid, some cells have adjacent cells that are held tg by calcium pectate

36
Q

define cloroplast +looks

A

eukaryotic and photoautotroph. round dumpling shaped, sharpish squiggle inside edge, has stacks of round hollow disk called thylakoids and middle space called stroma. cloroplast cytoplasm

37
Q

define vacuoles

A

large “empty” membrane bound structure

38
Q

two tyoes of vacuoles

A

central vacuole and contractile vacuole

39
Q

two tyoes of vacuoles

A

central vacuole and contractile vacuole

40
Q

functions of central vacuole

A

in plant cells, stores water, stores small solutes, skeletal support(turgor pressure-rigid or flaccid due to water) movement(venus fly trap)

41
Q

function of contractile vacuole

A

freshwater protists. since constantly taking in water they’ll take in lots then propel it out. so vacuole expands then shrinks

42
Q

define photoautotroph

A

utilize light energy from sunlight and elements from inorganic compounds to produce organic materials needed to sustain their own metabolism

43
Q

define photoautotroph

A

utilize light energy from sunlight and elements from inorganic compounds to produce organic materials needed to sustain their own metabolism

44

46
Q

3 types of junctions

A

tight junction, anchor junction, communication junction

47
Q

define tight junctions

A

animals. protien stitching that creates impassable barrier btwn cells so food must go through cell.

48
Q

define anchor junction +looks

A

holds cells tg. look like little hooks gripping two cells tg.

49
Q

2 types of communication junction

A

Gap junctions, plasmodesmata

50
Q

define gap junctions

A

animals. adjacent channel TMP line up and connects cytoplasm of cells

51
Q

define plasmodesmata+looks

A

plants. channels through adjacent cell walls. looks like connected cells have a tunnel going through both of them
