Personal Wellness and Homeostasis Flashcards
Plasma (cell membrane)
Gives cell shape and protection, while also moving stuff in and out of the cell
Ribosome
makes proteins
Mitocondria
The powerhouse of the cell
Golgi Apparatus
Packages protein for distribution outside the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transports materials like protein inside a highly folded membrane
Chloroplast
Site of photosynthesis
Centrioles
Organelles that occur in Pairs and are important for cell division
Cilia
Small hairs around cell for locomotion, also sweeps along surfaces
Flagella
Long single hair that acts like an organ for locomotion
Cell Wall
A wall that provides shape and protection
Lysosome
A vesicle that contains digestive enzymes
Vacuole
used for temporary storage/ waste material
Nucleus
Control centre of the cell
Living organisms need?
energy and water to live, and function
Autotrophs
Uses energy from the sun to make sugar/food, this process is also known as Photosynthesis
Heterotrophs
Cannot make their own nutrients, so they get it from cellular respiration
Parts of the cell membrane
•Phospholipid
•Hydrophilic End (balls)
•Hydrophobic End (tail)
•Glycoproteins for recognition (stacked balls)
Passive transport
(Concentration gradient)
-Doesn’t use energy for transportation
-molecules move from high concentration to low concentration
3 Types of Passive transport
-Diffusion
-Osmosis
-Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion
Particles that follow a concentration gradient
Osmosis
Diffusion of water following a gradient
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion using a carrier protein in the plasma membrane
Active transport
Uses energy for transportation against the gradient
3 types of Active transport
-Ion pumps
-Exocytosis
-Endocytosis
