Q

What is the difference between the cytoplasm and the cytosol ?

A

Cytoplasm is the jelly like substance containing all the contents inside the cell membrane , except for the nucleus. The cytosol is the intracellular fluid not including the cell’s contents

Q

Why is the cell membrane called the Fluid Mosaic Model ?

A

Fluid because individual phospholipids and proteins can move side to side within the layer as if it’s a liquid.

Mosaic because of the pattern the protein molecules produce when the membrane is viewed from above.

34
Q

What kind of energy does Simple Diffusion use ?

A

Natural Kinetic Energy

35
Q

What are the 2 types of proteins ?

A

Peripheral and Integral.

36
Q

How does cholesterol benefit the cell ?

A

Cholesterol is a type of steroid. It maintains the stability of the cell membrane and helps in regulating molecules entering and exiting the cell.

37
Q

Hoes do carbohydrates benefit the cell ?

A

It is a major recognition site and attaching site for pathogens.

38
Q

What material can easily pass through the plasma membrane ?

A

Lipids

39
Q

What is the site for cellular respiration ?

A

Mitochondria

40
Q

T/F: The chloroplast, mitochondria, ribosome, and nucleus all have a double membrane.

A

False. The ribosome is NOT membrane bound.

41
Q

T/F: The nucleolus is non dividing.

A

True

42
Q

T/F:A prokaryotic cell has 4 chromosomes.

A

False. It has one strand of DNA called “naked DNA” because it is free in the cytoplasm.

43
Q

T/F: The human liver cells produce a large amount of protein.

A

True

44
Q

What are the 2 types of ribosomes ?

A

Free ribosome and Bound ribosome.
