Chapter 3 and 4 Flashcards
compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic
pro- simpler and smaller; primarily bacteria
euk-cells of all other organisms including animals; contain organelles
example of prokaryotic cell
bacteria e.coli
example of eukaryotic cell
all other organisms including animals- human
2 major components of the plasma membrane
phospholipids and proteins
explain the unique arrangements of the phospholipids of the plasma membrane
phospholipid bilayer-hydrophilic heads (face outside the cell where theres a watery solution); hydrophobic tails-away from water
the locations of proteins found in plasma membrane
interspersed in bilayer; some span bilayer completely and some are attached to inner or outer surface of membrane
list and describe functions of the plasma membrane
maintains structural integrity of cell regulates movement of substances into and out of cell recognition between cells communication between cells sticks cells together
define selectively permeable
allows certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of active or passive transport
random movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
simple diffusion
movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration to a region of lower concentration with the aid of a membrane protein
facilitated diffusion
type of diffusion in which h2o moves across a membrane from a region of higher h2o concentration to a region of lower h20 concentration
osmosis
movement of substances across membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration with the aid of a protein carrier and energy (ATP)
active transport
movement when cell engulfs substance
endocytosis
movement when large substances leave cell
exocytosis
cell eating
phagocytosis
cell drinking
pinocytosis
differences between active and passive transport
passive- doesn’t require energy; moves molecules with conc (high to low)
active- needs energy; moves molecules against concentration (low to high)
2 means of transport that requires protein carriers
facilitated diffusion and active transport
2 requirements of active transport
needs aid of a carrier protein and needs energy
difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport in regards to the direction of movement
facilitated- (high to low)
active-(low to high)
one with a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell
hypertonic
concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell
isotonic
one with a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell
hypotonic
when rbc in hypertonic
h2o moves out of cell
when rbc in hypotonic
h2o moves into cell
when rbc in isotonic
h2o moves into and out of cell equally; no net movement
jellylike solution inside cell
cytoplasm
contains genetic info that is passed on from generation to generation
nucleus
separates the nucleus from cytoplasm
nuclear envelope
openings in the nuclear envelope
nuclear pores
region in nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is produced
nucleolus
primarily DNA; condenses and coils up just before cell division
chromatin
system of interconnecting membrane channels
endoplasmic reticulum
studded with ribosomes
rough er
function-protein synthesis
rough er
detoxification of alcohol and other drugs
smooth er
function: lipid synthesis- fats and steroids
smooth er
set of interconnected , flattened membranous sacs
golgi complex
function of the golgi complex
receives protein filled vesicles from er
modifies proteins via enzymes in golgi
produces lysosomes and vesicles
secretes substances out of cell through membrane
contains digestive enzymes and destroy nonfunctional organelles
lysosomes
made by rough er and processed in golgi
lysosomes
number varies with function and energy needs of cell
mitchondria
“powerhouse” of the cell
mitchondria
complex network of fibers within cytoplasm
cytoskeleton
3 types of cytoskeleton
microtubules
microfilaments
intermediate filaments
