Cellular respiration and Cytology Flashcards
Plasma Membrane
membrane that surrounds the cell and controls what come in and out
What makes up plasma membrane?
Phospholipids, Cholesterol, Glycolipids
What are Phospholipids made of?
2 heads, one head facing out, one facing in, tail on inside
Hydrophobic
Hates water
Hydrophilic
Loves water
Phospholipid Bilayer
where the tails touch each other to create the barrier
Transport Protein
Moving substance across the membrane
Cell surface receptors
helps distinguish healthy cells from dead or dying cells
Enzyme
makes things grow faster
Nucleus
Control center of cell, contains DNA for protien production
Cytoplasm
cellular content between the nucleus and plasma membrane
Cytosol
is the fluid in the cytoplasm
Organelles
organized structure within cells
Passive Movement
no energy needed, cell to reach equilibrium
Active Process
requires energy, will push substances into concentrated areas
Simple Diffusion
move base on concentration gradient until equilibrium is reached, for small nonpolar solutes like oxygen, carbon dioxide
Facilitated diffusion
a protein channel for substances to move through, etc sodium, potassium, glucose
Osmosis
When water is moved to reach equilibrium
Transport process for Osmosis
water moves from low concentration to high concentration of water
Tonicity
ability to change volume or pressure of a cell by osmosis
Isotonic Solution
Same concentration inside and outside of cell, no movement of water
Hypotonic Solution
water move into the cell, cell gets bigger
Hypertonic Solution
water leaves the cell, it will shrink
Primary active transport
uses cellular energy from ATP
Sodium-potassium pump
3 Na(sodium) out 2 k+(potassium) into the cell
Vesicular transport
vesicles(membrane sack) moving substances into or out of the cell
Exocytosis
out of the cell
Endocytosis
into the cell
What happens in passive process transport of osmosis?
Isotonic Solution
Hypotonic Solution
Hypertonic Solution
