CELLS PT3 Flashcards
Structure: Spherical shaped membrane bound organelles formed from the golgi apparatus; contain digestive enzymes
LYSOSOMES
Structure: Small vesicles surrounded by a membrane
PEROXISOMES
Function: Digest microbes or materials by the cell
LYSOSOMES
Function: Involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol (peroxidase enzymes)
PEROXISOMES
Structure: Organized network of protein filaments
CYTOSKELETON
provides structural support.
MICROTUBES
maintain cell shape.
MICROFILAMENTS
give mechanical support to structures like nucleus and plasma membrane.
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
Function: Maintains integral structural support and organization of cells
CYTOSKELETON
is the movement of a substance from an area of its higher concentration to an area of its lower concentration.
DIFFUSION
is the type of diffusion that requires a protein carrier.
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
is the diffusion of water point across a selectively permeable membrane
OSMOSIS
Is the type of diffusion of dissolved solutes through the plasma membrane
SIMPLE DIFFUSION
This type of cell membrane transport uses energy (ATP) provided by the cell.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT PROCESS
refers to bulk movement of substance out of the cell by fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane.
