35
Q

Hollow structures made up of proteins known as Tubulins

A

Micro tubules

36
Q

What two things do micro tubules do?

A
  1. Maintain cell shape

2. Separate chromosomes

37
Q

Organize cell division

A

Centrioles

38
Q

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum(shipped outside the cell)

A

Golgi apparatus

39
Q

Make proteins; small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells

40
Q

Where do ribosomes come from?

41
Q

Internal membrane system. Where Things are assembled

A

Endoplasmic reticulum

42
Q

Ribosomes found on the surface, involved in the synthesis of proteins

A

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

43
Q

Collection of enzymes that perform specialized tasks; no ribosomes

A

Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

44
Q

Capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis

A

Chloroplasts

45
Q

Convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cells to use

A

Mitochondria

46
Q

What organelles are involved in energy conversion process within the cell?

A
  1. Chloroplasts

2. Mitochondria

47
Q

Strong supporting layer arouNd the membrane

48
Q

What is the cell walls main function?

A

To provide support and protection for the cell

49
Q

Regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell

A

Cell membrane

50
Q

Double layered sheet which gives cell membranes a flexible structure and forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings

A

Lipid bilayer

51
Q

Water liking (head)

52
Q

Water fearing, hydrophobic

53
Q

How do phospholipids arrange themselves?

A

So the non polar tails face each other

54
Q

What is the effect of a bilayer?

A

To create a non polar zone bordered by polar heads

55
Q

What is outside the polar heads?

56
Q

Why can large/polar molecules not pass through the bilayer?

A

Because of the structure of the phospholipid bilayer

57
Q

What do these molecules need?

A

A passageway, or channel

58
Q

What are channels made of?

59
Q

Are the phospholipids and protein molecules rigidly fixed in place?

60
Q

How the body tells “self” from “nonself”

61
Q

Give the cell info about the outside of the cell

62
Q

Proteins/passageways

63
Q

Require no energy, high to low

A

Passive transport

64
Q

Require energy (Low to high)

A

Active transport

65
Q

What are some examples of active transport?

A
  • cleaning room

- going back up the sledding hill

66
Q

When molecules spread from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration

67
Q

When a substance CAN cross the membrane

A

Permeable membrane

68
Q

What is an example of diffusion

A

When you spray cologne and it goes slowly to the other side of the room

69
Q

The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

70
Q

Solute

71
Q

Solvent

A

Liquid portion in which particles are dissolved

72
Q

Solution

A

Solute+Solvent

73
Q

Hypertonic solution

A

Has a higher solute concentration than the cell

74
Q

What does the hypertonic solution make the cell do?

75
Q

Hypotonic solution

A

The solution has a lower concentration than the cell

76
Q

What does a hypotonic cell do?

77
Q

Isotonic solution

A

The concentration is the same. Equal water molecules in both directions

78
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Diffusion helped by a protein channel. Net movement of molecules is still from high concentration to low concentration

79
Q

What is an example of facilitated diffusion?

A

Diffusion of glucose into our cells

80
Q

Allows cells to move materials AGAINST the consent ration gradient

A

Active Transportation Process

81
Q

Sodium potassium pump

A

In cell membrane of most animal cells. Transports sodium and Potasium into our cells

82
Q

Endocytosis

A

Cell membrane curves in toward cell. Pinches off, forming a vesicle, thereby bringing fluids and particles into cell. Lysosomes digest vesicle wall, releasing “stuff” into cells

83
Q

What are the two types of Endocytosis?

A
  1. Phagocytosis

2. Pinocytosis

84
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Bacteria taken into cell

85
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Liquid taken into cell

86
Q

Exocytosis

A

When the cell gets rid of things “poops” vesicle forms which fuses plasma membrane and releases stuff
