16
Q

Why is the nuclear membrane porous

A

To allow substances to move between the cytoplasm and the nucleus

17

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
Q

Forms of passive transport

A

Diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis and filtration

26
Q

Active

A

Requires cellular energy

27
Q

Active transport called

A

Active transport and endocytosis

28
Q

Ribosomes =

A

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

29
Q

No ribosomes =

A

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

30
Q

Diffusion

A

Process by which molecules or ions become scattered or are spread from regions of higher concentrations to regions of lower concentrations

31
Q

Molecules move until

A

Equilibrium is obtained

32
Q

Passive mechanisms responsible for

A

Exchange of of oxygen and co2 between the air and the blood in the lungs and between the blood and the cells

33
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Special carrier molecules (usually proteins) move substances through the cell membrane from higher to lower regions of concentration

34
Q

Osmosis

A

When water molecules diffuse from a region of higher water concentration toward a region of lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane
