Q

Eukaryotic

A

The cell that has nucleus and membrane bounded organelles.

• Protoplasm
Nucleus: consist of DNA & hystone
Nuclear envelope: double membrane with pores
Nucleo plasma: semi fluid medium

•Cytoplasm:
rER: attached by ribosomes for protein modification for sending to Golgy App.
Ribosomes: Produce protein
sER: no ribosomes, synthesising steroid and lipid for detoxification.
Golgy App: protein packing organelles, and identifying the specific function of the protein for the next sending to lysosomes. (packing > address)
Lysosome: digest the food and some non function organelles
Vacuoles: (1) Central vacuole, (2) Food vacuole> inside foods will be digested by lysosome, (3) Contractile vacuole > control the amount of water inside fresh water protists, (4) fat vacuole.
*vacuole also send the substances produced​ by cell to outside cell bilayer membranes
Mitokondria: respiratory organelles that produce ATP
Vesicle: help the transport process (produced by rER to send protein to sER)

- provide carotenoid (yellow, red)
Leucoplast (storage)
- amyloplast: starch
- proteinoplast: protein 
- Elaioplast: fat

Located in animal plasma membrane only

Function to control the fluid mosaic structure movement

Promote sex hormones

20
Q

Passive Transport

A

The intercellular transport
No ATP is needed
Using kinetic energy

21
Q

Diffusion

A

Passive transport
with or without membrane
high concentration to low concentration

22
Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A

Diffusion that needs protein as carrier

23
Q

Osmosis

A

Passive transport
Needs membrane
Water flow from the higher concentration to lower concentration

24
Q

Isotonic

A

equilibrium concentration

25
Q

Hypotonic

A

The solution with higher concentration of water (solvent) than solute

Effect:
Water flow to the cell that lower concentration of water making cell burst (animal) and no shape change (in plant)

26
Q

Hypertonic

A

The solution with high concentration of solute than the solvent (water)

Effect:
The cell that has higher concentration of water becoming shrink caused by the moving of water inside the cell to outside the cell.

27
Q

Plasmolysis

A

The decreasing size of central vacuole in plants caused by the the out moving of water inside the cell to outside the cell due to the hypertonic solution outside.

28
Q

Active transport

A

Need ATP

29
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Cell eating (undissolved particles)

30
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Cell drinking (dissolved particles)

31
Q

Receptor mediated

A

Using protein as receptor

32
Q
