capsule

A

extra layer of cell protection

16
Q

nucleoid region

A

in a prokaryote

holds genetic info

17
Q

cell wall

A

protection for cell organelles

18
Q

differences between plants and animal cells

A

plants animals

  • cell wall - no cell wall or chloroplast
  • chloroplast (photosynthesis) - centrioles
  • large vacuole (stores water)
19
Q

double lipid bi-layer (cell membrane made of this)

A

made of phospholipids

helps keep water in

20
Q

nuclear envelope

A

boundary of outer cell

21
Q

nuclear pores

A

things go in/out of nucleus

22
Q

peroxisomes

A

breaks up (neutralizes) harmful chemical reactions

23
Q

Cellulose (cell wall made of this in plant)

A

in a plant: protects cell from rupturing

24
Q

vacuole

A

stores water and starch for plant

25
Q

photosynthesis

A

turns solar energy into food energy in plant

26
Q

cytoskeleton made of 3 protein fibers

A
  1. microfilaments
  2. microtubules
    3,. intermediate filaments
27
Q

cilia

A

also for cell movement. like flagella

28
Q

3 types of ways to cross biological membrane

A
  1. diffusion
  2. membrane folding
  3. transport proteins
29
Q

diffusion

A

moving a higher concentrated solute to lower concentration solution

30
Q

osmosis (3 types)

A

movement of water

  1. hypertonic (shrivel up)
  2. hypotonic (water burst)
  3. isotonic (equal)
31
Q

hypertonic

A

inside cell

more solute than solution causing it to shrivel up through crenation

32
Q

crenate

A

when cell shrivels up in hypertonic

33
Q

hypotonic

A

more water than solute causing it to burst

34
Q

isotonic

A

equal solute and solution

35
Q

membrane folding (2 types)

A
  • endocytosis= engulfing large substance outside of cell into cell
  • exocytosis= discharging substances out of cell
36
Q

selective permeability (3 types)

A
  1. selective diffusion= open channels based on size
  2. facilitated diffusion= protein carrier to specific molecules
  3. active transport= energy used to pump substances against concentrate
