Chapter 3 Flashcards
what is a cell?
smallest unit of life
fluid mosaic model
flexibility, mosaic- things are stuck to it
what is another name for the plasma membrane ?
cell membrane
ER
- membrane bound
-
RER
- has ribosomes
-
SER
- contains enzymes
- have cells that can break down drugs and alcohol such as liver cells
Where does protein synthesis occur?
Ribosome
Ribosome
- are composed of protein and RNA molecules
Golgi apparatus
refines, packages and transport proteins
what is the inner layer of the Mitochondria called
cristae
Mitochondria
main purpose is to make ATP
lysosome
garbage collected…gets collected into a cell and broken down
peroxisomes
e breakdown of very long chain fatty acids through beta-oxidation
microfilaments and microtubules
thin threadlike strands in the cytoplasm
centrosome
nonmembraneous, contains centrioles which are contained of microtubules.
cilia and flagella
structures that allow for movement attached as an extension from the surfaces of certain cells
vesicle
membranous sacs that store and transport substances within a cell and between cella
nuclear envelope
consists of inner and outer lipid bilayer membranes
what are the protein- lined channels called on the nuclear envelope?
Nuclear Pores
Nucleolus
a small, dense body composed largely of RNA and protein
Chromatin
loosley coiled fibers of DNA and protein
What does chromatin turn into after being condensed ?
Chromosomes
diffusion
movement of particles from an area of high to low concentration.
which are movements considered passive?
- facilitated diffusion
- osmosis
- diffusion
facilitated diffusion
substances that are not able to pass through the lipid bilayer need help of a membrane protein to get across…
osmosis
is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane
isotonic
when the solute and solvent are at equilibrium
hypertonic
- if put into a hypertonic solution the cell will
- more solute then solvent
Hypotonic
- solutions with more solvent
- when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will swell
filtration
forces molecules through membrane
active transport
is a process that moves particles through membranes from a region of lower concentration to a high concentration
Endocytosis
allow molecules or particles that are to large to enter the cell by diffusion or active transport to enter by means of a vesicle
Exocytosis
secretes outside of the cell
Pinocytosis
“cell drinking” cells take in droplets of liquid from their surroundings
Phagocytosis
“cell eating”…cell takes on solids
mitosis
cell division
at what stage does DNA replicate
interphase
At what stage do the number of chromosomes double ?
Interphase
Chromosomes are lined along the equilateral line during …
Metaphase
At what stage are the daughter cells completely formed
Telophase
The centromeres divide during…
Anaphase
