29
3 major types of cell junctions
* desmosomes * tight junctions * gap junctions
30
serves to **anchor cells** to one another to provide a passageway for cellular exchange
cell junctions
31
double layer membrane that encloses the nucleus
nuclear membrane
32
spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane **via specific transmembrane interval**
facilitated diffusion
33
type of cell junction that **prevents leakage** of molecules
tight junctions
34
type of membrane that selects which to let in and out of the cell
semi-permeable membrane
35
most complex and productive pathway of cellular respiration
electron transport chain
36
controls the movement of materials in the cell
cell membrane
37
**process of growing or creating** something over a period of time
development
38
substance is **expelled** after being enclosed in a vesicle within the cell, used to move large molecules out of the cell
exocytosis
39
FAD
flavin adenine dinucleotide
40
transports materials, sorts and storage of cell products
golgi bodies
41
membrane bound sacs for storage, digesting, and waste removal
vacuoles
42
give at least 3 functions of lysosomes
* defense against invading bacteria and viruses through circulating macrophage * destruction of aged red blood cells and dead cells * scavenging of worn out cell parts and denatured protein * dissolution of blood clot and thrombi * secretion of hydrolases by sprem for egg penetration during fertilization * yolk digestion during embryonic development * lysis of organelles during cell differentiation and metamorphosis * cellular autophagy during unfavourable environmental conditions
