Quiz 4 (cytoplasm and cell/protein/gene stuffs) Flashcards
What kind of membrane transport transports oxygen?
simple diffusion
What kind of membrane transport transports glucose?
facilitated diffusion
What kind of membrane transport transports large food particles into the cell?
endocytosis
What kind of membrane transport transports carbon dioxide?
simple diffusion
What kind of membrane transport transports water?
osmosis
What kind of membrane transport transports H+ (from low to high)?
ion pumps
What three main components make up cytoplasm?
cytosol, organelles, and inclusions
Cytosol
gel-like cellular fluid where all the other components are suspended
Organelles
carry out specific functions
Inclusions
temporarily stores materials
What are examples of inclusions?
- fat in the adipose cell
- chem weapons in the white blood cells
What are the membrane-bound organelles?
mitochondrion, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic reticulum
interconnected network of membranes with attached enzymes to perform diverse metabolic processes
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
with the presence of ribosomes
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
without the presence of ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum functions
- synthesis and transport of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates
- detoxification of drugs, alcohol, and poisons
- formation of transport vesicles and peroxisomes
Transport vesicles
deliver materials to the Golgi apparatus
Peroxisomes
small membrane bound sacs with enzymes (formed by ER)
Peroxisome’s function
breaks-down lipids and various toxic substances
Golgi apparatus
composed of several flattened membrane sacks
Golgi apparatus function
- modification, packaging, and sorting materials that arrive in transport vesicles
- forms secretory vesicles and lysosomes
Secretory vesicles
for secretion of substances out of the cell
Lysosomes
small membrane sacs with digestive enzymes (formed by Golgi apparatus)
Lysosome function
break down food that enters a call and cellular debris
