exam 2 Flashcards
cell theory
idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
all cells have
cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes
All prokaryotic cells have
cell membrane, nucleoid, cytoplasm, ribosomes
Some prokaryotic cells have
a cell wall, pili (singular: pilus), flagella (singular: flagellum) and a capsule
All eukaryotic cells have
Plasma membrane
* Nucleus
* Endoplasmic reticulum
* Golgi body
* Vesicles
* Mitochondria
* Ribosomes
* Cytoskeleton
Some eukaryotic cells have
chloroplast and vacuole
cell membrane
a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that forms the boundary of all cells
selective permeable
controls what goes in and out of the cell
Nucleus components
nuclear envelope, nucleolus, nucleoplasm ,chromatin
Rough ER
makes proteins w/ ribosomes and transport vesicles
Smooth ER
no ribosomes, makes lipids for membrane, makes and stores carbohydrates, makes transport vesicles
Glogi Apparatus
Processes, sorts and packages proteins and lipids
Vesicles
small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and within a cell
lysomes and peroxisomes
digestive vesicles
Mitochondrion
cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
chloropast
performs photosynthesis,
chlorophyll
enables photosynthesis
Cytoskeleton
A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement
Endosymbiosis
A theorized process in which early eukaryotic cells were formed from simpler prokaryotes.
plasma membrane
A selectively-permeable phospholipid bilayer forming the boundary of the cells
passive transport
Requires NO energy, Movement of molecules from high to low concentration, Moves with the concentration gradient
concentration gradient
A region along which the density of a chemical substance increases or decreases.
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane to balance molecular concentrations
isotonic solution
a solution whose solute concentration is equal to the solute concentration inside a cell
hypertonic solution
higher solute concentration outside the cell
Hypotionic solution
if a cell is in a solution that has a lower concentration of solute
active transport
Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient
