Test Two (Chapters 4-6) Flashcards
Aristotle
first to propose the idea of cells
Hooke
- built microscopes
- English experimenter
- surveyor
- first human to see bacteria
- first to use the term ‘cell’
- looked at cork through his microscope
Van Leeuwenhoek
- made strong magnifiers
- first to see individual cells and saw them as living
Schlseiden and Schwann
- said that plants and animals were composed of cells
- become the “fathers” of the cell theory
Virchow
proposed that diseases grow out of individual cells
Margulis
serial endosymbiotic theory which explains where eukaryotic cells came from
Fluid Mosaic Model
shows both the inside and outside of a cell and shows how the cell membrane is composed
cell membrane
made up of a phospholipid bilayer, cholesterol, carbohydrates, steroids, and proteins and it determines what goes in and out of the cell
concentration gradient
when particles move through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with lower number of particles
aquaporin
proteins that diffuse water
isotonic
same concentration of water and molecules in and our of the cytoplasm
hypertonic
cytoplasm has a lower concentration compared to the environment
hypotonic
environment has a lower concentration compared to the cytoplasm
hydrophilic
water loving, ex: the head of the phosphate molecule
hydrophobic
fear of water, ex: the tails of the phosphate molecule
diffusion
passive transport, new movement of a kind of molecule form a place where that molecule is in a higher concentration to a place that is less concentrated
osmosis
net movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane, passive transport, three different kinds; isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic
facilitated diffusion
occurs when the rate of diffusion of a substance is increased in the presence of specific membrane proteins, considered passive transport
carrier proteins
embraces the molecule and then releases it and returns to its original shape
ions channel
operate like gates and is controlled nu changes in electrical charge
active transport
occurs when molecules are moved across the membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration, therefore, energy must be expended
- goes against the concentration gradient
- uses a carrier protein
- only certain molecules or ions can be moved
endocytosis
when larger particle or collections of materials can be transported across the plasma membrane by being wrapped in membrane, rather than passing though the membrane molecule by molecule
phagocytosis
process of engulfing larger particles, such as cells
pinocytosis
process of engulfing liquids and the materials dissolved in the liquid
exocytosis
when materials are transported out of cells in membrane-wrapped packages
cytoplasm
fluid portion in the cell and surrounding the nucleus
nucleus
central body of a cell and contains genetic material and proteins
cell wall
outlines plant cells, composed of the complex carbohydrate called cellulose, provides strength and protection
endoplasmic reticulum
made of membrane, manufactures ribosomes and proteins, smooth ER helps with chemical reactions, rough ER has ribosomes attached
Golgi apparatus
made of membrane, packages molecules, modifies molecules shipped to it from elsewhere in the cell, manufactures some polysaccharides and lipids
