Chapter 2- Cells and Tissues Flashcards
Chromatin
Become chromosomes in meiosis
Cells
- building blocks of the human organism
- come in a wide variety of types, shapes, sizes
- perform a wide variety of functions
- contain “little organs” called organelles
Nucleolus
Produces ribosomes
Ribosomes
Manufacture proteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes attach
Nucleus
Brain of the cell
Nuclear membrane
Mitochondrion
Energy source
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Steroid and fatty acid synthesis
Centriole
Active in meiosis
Plasma (cell) membrane
Protection of the cell
Cytoplasm
Jelly substance
Lysosomes
Contain enzymes
Golgi complex
Produce lysosomes
Passive process
No energy
Diffision
Electrolytes move hight to low concentration
Osmosis
Water moves from high to low concentration
Filtration
I’m electrolytes move through capillary walls
Active process
Requires energy
Active transport
Electrolytes move from low concentration to high
Phagocytosis
Cells “eat” bacteria and debris
Macrophage eats bacteria forms a vacuole and lysosomes in cell contain enzymes to break down bacteria
