A

pull chromosomes apart during mitosis

40
Q

41
Q

function of ribosome

A

site of protein synthesis where AA are made into proteins w directions from DNA

42
Q

what is cytoskeleton

A

arrangement of structural proteins that give the cell its shape and support it is made of many proteins

43
Q

what is microfilament

A

long thing protein fibres that give a cell its shape and allow it to move and also aids in cell division and cell shape

44
Q

what are microtubules

A

hollow tubes of protein that move chromosomes, move the cell and maintain cell shape

45
Q

what are cilia

A

small numerous microtubules that lie on outside of membrane and serve to allow them to move around

46
Q

what are flagella

A

large usually singular microtubule that allows for a cell to move

47
Q

what is a isotonic solution

A

one that has equal extracellular and intracellular solute concentration (ex. 10% outside, 10% inside)

48
Q

what is a solute

A

the substance that is dissolved in water

49
Q

what is solvent (in this unit)

A

water

50
Q

what happens to cells when placed in an isotonic solution

A

movement of water into the cell is equal to the movement of water outside

51
Q

what happens to a plant cell in a isotonic solution

A

it becomes flaccid

52
Q

what happens to a animal cell in a isotonic solution

A

it becomes normal (ideal)

53
Q

what is a hypotonic solution

A

a solution in which the extracellular solution has a lower concentration of solutes then the intracellular solution (ex. 2% outside, 8% inside)

54
Q

what happens when water moves through plasma membrane in a hypotonic solution

A

it swells

55
Q

what happens to an animal cell in a hypotonic solution

A

cell lyses

56
Q

what is cell lyses

A

when a animal cell bursts because water enters the cell. it goes from hypotonic to hypertonic

57
Q

what happens to a plant cell in a hypotonic solution

A

the central vacuole fills up with water and pushes on the wall, making it crisp and healthy. this is called turgor pressure.

also known as turgid

58
Q

What is a hypertonic solution

A

a solution in which the extracellular solution has a higher concentration of solutes then the intracellular solution (ex. 8% outside, 2% inside)

59
Q

what happens when water moves through the plasma membrane in a hypertonic solution

A

it moves out of the cell and causes the cell to shrink (lose water)

60
Q

what happens when a animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution

A

it crenates (shrinks and dies)

61
Q

what happens when an plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution

A

it will plasmolyze (loose water)

62
Q

what is plasmolysis

A

the loss of water by a plant causing the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall.
it causes the plant to wilt, and eventually die if no water is given.

63
Q

what factors affect passive transport

A

temperature, size of the molecule, size of the concentration gradient, number of transport proteins (for facilitated diffusion)

64
Q

what happens when temp is changed in passive transport

A

if increase temp, increase molecular motion
if decrease temp, decrease molecular motion

65
Q

what happens if you change the size of the molecule in passive transport

A

if they are smaller, the rate of diffusion increases
if they are bigger, the rate of diffusion decreases

66
Q

what happens if you change the size of the concentration gradient

A

greater gradient = faster rate

67
Q

what happens if you change the number of transport proteins

A

the transport proteins can be saturated, similar to enzymes. it can only transport a max number at a time.
if you increase number of proteins, rate of reaction increases

68
Q

what is active transport

A

active transport is ion transport against the concentration gradient using transport proteins. allows for movement of large, complex molecules that cannot move via passive transport, using vesicles/vacuoles

69
Q

what are the 2 categories of active transport

A

transport with a transport protein/pump
bulk transport (endocytosis and exocytosis)

70
Q

how does active transport via a protein pump work

A

uses atp to power a change in protein shape to bring ions or molecules into/out of the cell, against the concentration gradient.

71
Q

what ratio must be kept in a sodium/potassium pump

A

3 sodium to 2 potassium
3:2

72
Q

what is endocytosis

A

the process in which a cell surrounds and takes in materials from the environment

two types: phagocytosis and pinocytosis

73
Q

what is phagocytosis

A

engulfing of solid particles

74
Q

what is pinocytosis

A

taking in a dissolved particle

75
Q

what is exocytosis

A

when a material exits a cell

76
Q

what is exocytosis used for

A

excretion and secretion

77
Q

examples of excretion in exocytosis

A

removal of metabolic waste; cellular waste such as urine, sweat; products of reactions

78
Q

examples of secretion in excytosis

A

saliva, oils, mucous

79
Q

what do vacuoles hold

A

carbohydrates, lipids, proteins

80
Q

what do centrioles pull apart

A

nucleic acid

81

86
Q

what do ribosomes make

A

protein

87

A

structure that helps move molecules across the cell membrane `

88
Q

what condition do animal cells require

A

isotonic
