Q

what happens in Hypotonic solution

A

Water enters the cell causing it to swell enough to rupture the cell membrane, when this happens the cell is said to be become lysed

In plant cells, Water enters the cell and passes into the vacuole causing vacuole swells and squeezes the cytoplasm against the cell wall the cell hence, is said to be turgid

Q

What happens in Hypertonic solution

A

In animal cells, crenation-
Water moves out of the cell causing the cell to shrink and crinkle

In plant cells, the cell goes into a state of plasmolysis as water leaves the cell but the cell maintains its shape because of the cell wall

Q

excyotosis

A

the bulk transport of molecules out of a cell

22
Q

endocytosis

A

bulk transport into the cell

23
Q

explain the factors the effect diffusiion

A

A
Concentration gradient.

The diffusion distance.

Surface area.

Physical barriers.

24
Q

Transmembrane proteins

A

proteins that are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that only allow specific substances across the membrane

25
Q

difference between transcription and translation

A

transcription occurs first- a copy of DNA is made(mRNA)

Translation:
occurs after transcription
mRNA is read by ribosomes to create proteins

26
Q

Why is it suggested that chloroplasts were once cyanobacteria

A

chloroplast share several characteristics with prokaryotic cells

27
Q

How did chloroplasts become part of eukaryotic cells and how

A

endosymbiosis as it occurred when the cyanobacteria was endocytosed by the plant/animal cell

28
Q

How did mitochondria become part of eukaryotic cells and how

A

endosymbiosis as they are endocytosed by the plant/animal cell

29
Q

endosymbosis

A

the theory that some organelles like mitochondria in eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes.

30
Q

endosymbiosis theory

A

the theory that some organelles like mitochondria in eukaryotes were once prokaryotic due to a mutual relationship.

31
Q

the genetic material of ribosomes

A

RNA

32
Q

centrioles

ONLY FOUND IN ANIMAL CELLS

A

found in animal cells
involved in the movement of flagella and organising the spindle fibres during mitosis

33
Q

How does water move into the plant cells of vacuoles

A

osmosis

34
Q

Types of bacterium

A

coccus-spherical bacterium
bacillus-rod shaped bacterium
vibrio-comma shaped bacteirum

35
Q

do plant cells have lysosomes

A

no

36
Q

What is DNA

A

A
the coded instructions to make proteins

found on chromosomes held in the nucleus

37
Q

how doesmitochondir make its own protieins

A

byuisn gits circular chromosomes nad proteins

38
Q

what is it called when a carrier protein changes shape

A

conformational change

39
Q

another way to say active transport

A

protein medidated transport

40
Q

types of transmemrbane protiens

A

-Receptor protein: has receptor sites at the end of each carb chain that bidn with ligands(singalling moeluce) to trigger a series of chemical reactions

Transport proteins:
Allow specific substances to move across the membrane eg. channel and carrier proteins

41
Q

Why does exocytosis take place

A

exocytosis takes place to secrete waste from the cell as well as to relocate some of the substances produced in cells (e.g. hormones, mucus, milk proteins and digestive enzymes) elsewhere in the body.

42
Q

diffusion

A

the movement of molecules from an area of their higher concentration to an area of their lower concentration.

43
Q

types of channel proteins

A

gated channel protein
open channle protein

44
Q

is water able to cross the cell membrane

A

yes it can with difficulty despite being polar because it is so small

45
Q

what is a concentration gradient

A

the measurement of how the concentration of something changes from one place to another

46
Q

net movement

A

the number of molecules moving in the direction of the forces, minus the number of molecuels movng in other directions

47

how do the cell walls of plant cells and fungual and bacteiral cells differ

A

Plant cell walls are made out of cellulose. Fungal cell walls are made of chitin

48

49
Q

what molceuel in involed incelluar reocngition

A

carbonhydgrate

50
Q

how doees temperature, PH and ethanol increase the permabilty of the plasma membrane

A

increasing the temperature will cause the proteins to denature

PH will cause the proteins to denature

Ethanol will cause the plasma membrane to melt creating holes, hence icnreaisng permabilty
