Unit 2- Organization Of Life Flashcards
Eukaryotic Cell
Present in all living things except bacteria, many membrane bound organelles and has a nucleus
Prokaryotic Cells
Make up bacteria, no membrane bound organelles and no nucleus
Levels of Classification
Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Passive transport
No cellular energy required
Examples: osmosis and diffusion
Diffusion
Molecules move from area of high concentration to area of low concentration, once molecules are evenly distributed , no further diffusion is required
Concentration gradient
Difference in concentration between a region of high and low concentration
Facilitated Diffusion
Requires a concentration gradient, transports proteins in the cell membrane aid substances to diffuse more quickly than normal
Osmosis
Diffusion of water, also depends on concentration gradients, water moves towards a higher concentration of solute (wants to dilute a substance)
Active transport
Movement of materials against a concentration gradient that requires cellular energy, moves from low to high concentration
Isotonic Solution
Same concentration so no need to dilute, no net movement, whatever goes into cell, comes back out
Hypotonic Solution
More water is going into the cell than out, higher water concentration outside the cell, can cause an animal cell to sweep and burst and a plant cell to be healthier; full of water(turgid)
Hypertonic Solution
Solution contains a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell placed in it, lower water concentration outside the cell, net movement of water out of cell, causes animal cells to shrivel and shrink
Endocytosis
Materials become enclosed in an impocketing of the cell membrane, forms vacuoles, cellular ingestion
Exocytosis
A vesicle/vacuole carrying materials and fuses with cell membrane and ejects contents outside the cell
Phagocytosis
Type of endocytosis, ingulfs large materials usually solids by bacteria/phagocytes
Pincytosis
Particles brought into the cells by sipping usually liquids/small
