Q

Cell membrane are:

Fluid-mosaic model ( layer that goes around)

A

Composed of phospholipid layer, keeps things in & out cell

Q
Endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.)
( resembles coral reef)
A

Consists of folded membranes & tubes throughout cell, provides large surface area for important chemical reactions. Can fit in small areas because it’s folded

Q

2 types of E.R.

A

Rough E.R.- ribosomes on surface, sites of protein synthesis

Smooth E.R.- lacks ribosomes, metabolizes fats, detoxifies damaging chemicals

Q

Vacuoles & vesicles both are storage organelles, how do they differ?

A

Vacuoles- large, storage center holds water, salt & proteins- much smaller in animal cells than in plant cells

Vesicles- smaller vacuoles, store, transport or digest cellular products & waist

Q

Difference between passive & active transport?

A

Passive-process in which substances move across cell membrane without using energy from cell

Active- movement of a substance against its concentration gradient (low to high), uses energy

Q

What is:
A) endocytosis
B)exocytosis

A

A) moves large molecules or sets of molecules in the cell

B) moves large molecules or sets of molecules out the cell

16
Q

Flagella ( resembles sperm)

Cilia ( hair)

A

Flagella- long & few in #, moves with a whip like motion

Cilia-small & numerous, moves back & forth like cars on the boat

17
Q

Nuclear components

in nucleus

A

Contains chromatin, DNA & proteins,becomes condensed in cell division into chromosomes

18
Q

Diffusion

A

Tendency of molecules to spread into an available space.(high concentration to low concentration)

19
Q

Osmosis

A

Water diffuses from hypotonic( low solute con.) to a hypertonic ( high solute con.)

A

A. Hypotonic

B. hypertonic

C. Isotonic

21
Q

Facilitated diffusion
