31
Q

Cell wall

A

Rigid layer outside plasma membrane

Cellulose binds adjoining cells

32
Q

Central vacuole

A

Huge reservoir in plants (store water)

33
Q

Plastids

A

Specialized vesicles, including chloroplasts

Store chlorophyll for photosynthesis

34
Q

Eukaryotic cells (Kingdoms)

A

In Protista:

Plants, Fungi, Animals

35
Q

Eukaryotic cells

A

Many membrane, bound organelles

36
Q

Prokaryotic cells

A

In bacteria
100 times smaller, more primitive
No nucleus, few organelles, diff cell wall

37
Q

Phospholipid bilayer

A
2 layers of lipids embedded w/ proteins
Both surfaces (phosphate) are water-soluble, interior (fatty acids)
38
Q

Plasma membrane

A

1 bilayer

39
Q

Nuclear envelope

A

2 bolsters

40
Q

Plasma membrane is selectively permeable (ability to go through)

A

Whether a substance can pass through depends on its size + solubility

41
Q

Lipid

A

Soluble substances, dissolve through lipids

42
Q

Water

A

Soluble substances, not permeable unless small enough to fit through protein pores.

43
Q

Passive transport

A

Moves from HIGH => LOW concentration

(Automatic) does not require energy

44
Q

Simple diffusion

A

Random movement

45
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Uses carrier molecules

46
Q

Active transport

A

From LOW => HIGH concentration, used carrier molecules + energy

47
Q

Endocytosis

A

Swallowed by plasma membrane

48
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Solids

49
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Fluids

50
Q

Exocytosis

A

Expels or secretes vesicle

51
Q

Osmosis

A

Diffusion of water through membrane, when water either enters or exits cell

52
Q

Isotonic solution

A

Same concentration outside as inside cell

Dynamic equilibrium, so no net change

53
Q

Hypotonic solution

A

Less chemical than inside cell
More water outside cell
Water moves into cell to divide it, so cell gains water, swells or bursts

54
Q

Hypertonic solution

A

More chemical than inside cell
Less water outside cell
Water leaves cell to concentrate it, so cell loses water + shrinks
