Q

Thylakoids

A

Organized into stacks aka grana (where the light dependednt reactions of photosynthesis occur).

  • Stroma fluid inside chloroplast membrane and outside of thylakoid
  • calvin cycle reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma

Q

Mitochondria

A
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) reactions occur in the matrix of the mitochondria
Electron transport and ATP synthesis occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane

Q

Surface area : volume

A

Good to have more surface area; split one big block into multiple little blocks
- when volume increases, SA:V decreases

Q

Phospholipid Bilayer

A

Made of of two layers of phospholipids with hydrophobic heads and hydrophobic tails. Hydrophilic heads on the outside
- hydrophobic proteins settle in the membrane, hydrophilic settle on the outside

Q

How do polar uncharged molecules pass through?

A

Through aquaporins; large amounts of water

17
Q

How do large nonpolar molecules pass through

A

Through the lipids, but very slowely

18
Q

Cell wall compositions

A

Complex carbs

19
Q

Passive transport

A
  • No ATP
  • materials moving with concentration gradient across membrane
    —> from high to low concentration
20
Q

Diffusion

A

Passive movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration

21
Q

Osmosis

A

Diffusion of water from high concentration to low concentrations across semi-permeable membrane

22
Q

Active transport

A
  • requires ATP
  • materials moving against the concentration gradient across the membrane
    —> from low to high concentration
  • uses membrane proteins to move materials out and into the cell
23
Q

Endocytosis

A

Bringing of substances into cell

- used to bring large molecules into the cell

24
Q

Exocytosis

A

Bringing materials out of the cell

- used to move large molecules out of the cell

25
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Uses membran e proteins to move charged and large polar molecules into the cell with the concentration gradient

26
Q

Hypertonic

A

Solutions have a higher solute concentration; water moves out of the cell. Plant roots are hypertonic (water moves from soil into roots)

27
Q

Hypotonic

A

Low solute concentration moves into cells of high concentration

28
Q

Isotonic

A

Equal solute concentation, water will move, but concentration will not change.

29
Q

Common ancestry of cells

A

Robosomes : found in all life forms
Membrane bound organelles evolved from living prokaryotic cells
Prokaryotes lack membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotes maintain internal membranes

30
Q

Evidence of mitochondria and chloroplasts

A
  • double membrane
  • Only produces by division of pre-existing mitochondria and chloroplasts
  • own DNA (plasmids)
  • have own ribosomes
