Cells Flashcards
What is Prokaryotic?
Cells that doesn’t have a nucleus
Pro= before karyote=nucleus
Eukaryotic cell
Complex
Eu= true
Karyote= nucleus
Flagellum
A structure attached to a bacteria cell to help it move around. Bacteria cells cant move without it.
Animal cells (eukaryotic)
Doesn’t have a cell wall or other small organelles like the plant cells
Plant cell (eukaryotic)
Has a cell wall, cell membrane and organelles and most importantly a nucleus
What are the smiliarites/differences between prokaryotic & eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic- free floating DNA, no nucleus
Eukaryotic- Non free floating dna because it’s protected by the nucleus, have a nucleus
Both- DNA
What is the process of protein using a flow chart?
DNA(stores info on how to make proteins) > ribosomes synthesize proteins> the
What are cell membranes mainly constructed of?
Lipid bilayers
What part of the body can mitochondria be found?
The muscles
What is osmosis?
Water molecules that can go though a semipermeable membrane from a high water concentration (more dilute) to a low concentration
What is diffusion
The process of when a substance moves from an area of high to low concentration until it’s equalized
What is the relationship between mitochondria & chloroplast?
Mitochondria converts chemical energy stored food. Chloroplast takes energy from the sun and convert to chemical energy in the process photosynthesis.
When does the process of diffusion stop?
When the number of molecules outside the cell is equalize to the amount of molecules inside the cell
Why is diffusion a passive transport?
Diffusion is a passive transport because the cell does require any energy to it. but involving in diffusing the concentration for high to low across the cell
Isotonic
Iso- the same/equal
Tonic- concentration of a solution
