Chapter 6 Flashcards
LM microscope definition
Light microscope, can magnify up to 1000x
What is cell theory
- all living things are composed of cells
- Cells are basic unit of structure and function
- All comes from pre existing cells
SEM microscope
Scanning electron microscope, allows you to see the surface of things
TEM microscope
Transmission electron microscope, internal structures
Electron microscope
Can magnify up to 100,000,000x
Micrograph
Photograph of a view through a microscope
Prokaryotic cell
"Earlier or before" lacks nucleus and most organelles Small Found in bacteria and archaea Found in earths fossil record
Eukaryotic cell
“True kernel”
Has membrane bound nucleus and organelles
Large
Found in Protists, plants, animals, fungi
Differences between plant and animal cells
Plant cells have chloroplast, a central vacuole, and cell wall
Animal cells have- centriole
Chloroplast
Found in plant cells (controls photosynthesis
Cell wall
In plant cells outside plasma membrane protection and maintaining cell shape
Large vacuole
Stores water in plant cells for photosynthesis
Centriole
In animal cell, helps with cell reproduction
Phospholipid bilayer
A double layer “sandwich” where the phosphate ends facing the watery inside and watery outside of a cell
Functions of membrane proteins
Enzyme activity, cell to cell recognition, cell signaling, transport of materials
Diffusion
Net movement of particles from more concentrated to less.
Concentration Gradient
Differences between two concentrations, molecules always move down the concentration gradient
Equilibrium
Point where number of diffusing molecules moving in one direction is equal to the moving in the opposite direction
Passive transport
Selectively permeable membrane allows some substances to cross membrane more easily and block others with no energy
Facilitated diffusion
Pathway provided by transport proteins that help certain molecules pass through a membrane
Osmosis
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Hypertonic solution
Solution with higher concentration of solute
Hypotonic solution
Solution with a lower solute concentration
Isotonic
Water concentration of a solute is equal
