16
Q

Why is the nuclear membrane porous

A

To allow substances to move between the cytoplasm and the nucleus

17
Q

->->

A

Chromatin, chromosome, either side

18
Q

Nucleolus structure

A

Small dense body made of RNA and protein

19
Q

Nucleolus function

A

Help form ribosomes

20
Q

Chromatin structure

A

Fibers composed of protein and DNA molecules

21
Q

Chromatin function

A

Contain cellular information for making proteins needed in carrying on life processes (genetic material [RNA and DNA])

22
Q

Chromatin…

A

Codes for proteins

23
Q

Passive and active mechanisms

A

Movements through cell membranes include these

24
Q

Passive

A

No energy required

25
Forms of passive transport
Diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis and filtration
26
Active
Requires cellular energy
27
Active transport called
Active transport and endocytosis
28
Ribosomes =
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
29
No ribosomes =
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
30
Diffusion
Process by which molecules or ions become scattered or are spread from regions of higher concentrations to regions of lower concentrations
31
Molecules move until
Equilibrium is obtained
32
Passive mechanisms responsible for
Exchange of of oxygen and co2 between the air and the blood in the lungs and between the blood and the cells
33
Facilitated diffusion
Special carrier molecules (usually proteins) move substances through the cell membrane from higher to lower regions of concentration
34
Osmosis
When water molecules diffuse from a region of higher water concentration toward a region of lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane
