Q

What does a theory mean in science?

A

Idea that is expected with a high degree of certainty

23
Q

What is a hypothesis?

A

Someone’s guess or idea

Gets tested

24
Q

What are the 5 principles (tenets) of cells?

A

1) cells are the basic building blocks of life
2) all cells arise from the division of other cells or all cells are the descendants of other cells (daughter cells)
3) cells are the smallest things to perform all vital physiological functions
4) each cell maintains its own homeostasis
5) homeostasis at higher levels (tissue, organs, organ system, or entire organism) reflects the combined actions of many cells

25
Q

Name the 2 basic cells every human body has and what are they?

A

1) sex cells or reproductive cells or germ cells or Gametes- sperm in male and ova/ egg in women
2) somatic cells- every other cells in our body

26
Q

What is the extracellular fluid?

A

Fluid outside of the cell

27
Q

What is Tissue or Interstitial fluid?

A

Fluid around the tissue

28
Q

What does the cell membrane or plasma membrane do?

A

It separates the outside and inside fluid

Structure is the phospholipid bilayer

29
Q

What is a cytosal?

A

Water based solution in which organelles, proteins and other cell structures float

30
Q

What is the slower promoter?

A

Less active

Makes copies but a lot slower

31
Q

What are in cytosals?

A

Organelles

32
Q

Organelle + cytosol = ?

A

Cytoplasm

33
Q

What is cytoplasm?

A

Consists of all the contents outside of the nucleus and is enclosed within the cell membrane of a cell

34
Q

What is the cell membrane made up of?

A

Phospholipid bilayer with proteins

35
Q

What is a peripheral protein?

A

Restricted to one side of a phospholipid bilayer

Can be removed

Constantly moving

36
Q

What is a integral protein?

A

Protein goes through both sides of phospholipid bilayer

Remove the protein and you destroy the cell membrane

Constantly moving

37
Q

What is the fluid mosaic model of a cell membrane?

A

All pieces of phospholipid bilayer and proteins that float around

38
Q

What is a cytoskeleton?

A

Fibers of protein that act like a skeleton

39
Q

What is an organelle?

A

Organ like structure

Does particular function

40
Q

Name the 6 different types of proteins in the phospholipid bilayer

A

1) anchoring proteins
2) recognition proteins
3) enzymes
4) receptor proteins (receptors)
5) channels
6) carrier proteins

41
Q

What is an anchoring protein?

A

Holds cytoskeleton elements to hold shape on the inside of the cell

On the outside it is used to link cells to neighbors

42
Q

What is a recognition protein?

A

Form chemical signatures

Another part of a chemical signature

Glycolipid + recognition proteins = chemical signature

Helps body recognize your cells

43
Q

What are enzymes?

A

Biological catalyst

Inside or outside the cells that mediates reactions embedded in the membrane

44
Q

What are receptor proteins?

A

Sensitive to extracellular chemicals

If it binds to a receptor it causes something to happen in the cell

As in a ligand (neurotransmitters)

45
Q

What is a ligand?

A

Molecule that binds to receptors

Ex: neurotransmitters

46
Q

What is a channel protein?

A

Ion channels- goes down the concentration gradient

Selective what they transport

Channel=tunnel

Integral protein

47
Q

What is the carrier protein?

A

Certain things cannot get through phospholipid bilayer by themselves have to attach to receptor proteins (changes its shape) and then can go through

48
Q

What is semipermeable or differentially permeable?

A

Certain things will go through the cell membrane other things will not

50
Q

What is passive transport?

A

Energy is not required to move things through the cell because it goes down the concentration gradient

51
Q

What is active transport?

A

Energy (ATP) is required to move things through the cell membrane because it is going against the concentration gradient

52
Q

What uses passive transport?

A

Diffusion

Ion channels

Facilitated diffusion/ transport

53
Q

What uses active transport?

A

Active transport “proper”

Exocytosis

Endocytosis

54
Q

What is selectively permeable?

A

The cell chooses what goes through it’s cell membrane
