Homeostasis, Cell Struc. & Function Flashcards
Homeostasis
homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions
What are some examples of Homeostasis
Body heat temp
The volume of body water
Organization
To keep organized
Cell
Is the basic structural and functional unit of all living things.
Cell theory
All organisms are composed of one of more cells.
Cells make up all organisms
You cant make cells
Describe how cell diversity began
Eukaryotic cells evolved from prokarytic cells. Since eukaryotic cells are more complex they develop specific functions; from those functions came cell diversity.
Define selective permeability in a plasma membrane sense .
Can control what goes in and out of the cell.
Describe a phospholipid bi layer
is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules
What devolves a polar substance
Any polar substance.
Define cell Theory

all living things are made of cells
What is the function of the plasma membrane
The plasma membrane controls what goes in and out.
What are two basic types of cells
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Difine organelles
Specialized structures that perform specific cell functions
What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
