Extras Flashcards
Nucleus
Contains DNA and the coded instructions for making proteins.
Vacuoles
Store materials like water, salts, proteins and carbs
Lysosomes
Filled with enzymes. Break down lipids, carbs, protein and deaf organelles into smaller molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell.
Cytoskeleton
Network of protein filaments. Certain parts of the cytoskeleton also help transport materials between different parts of the cell.
Ribosomes
Proteins are assembled on ribosomes
Golgi apparatus
Modifies, sorts, packages and tags proteins and other molecules before they are shipped to their final destination
Mitochondria
Convert chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
Isotonic
When the concentration of two solutions is the same
Hypertonic
When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes
Hypotonic
When comparing two solutions, the one with the lower concentration of solutes.
What parts of the phospholipid in hydrophobic, Which part is hydrophilic?
Head= hydrophilic
Tail=hydrophobic
What does active transport require?
Carrier proteins and ATP
Osmosis
Molecules of solvent tend to pass through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution.
