Cells

        Help!  

Question
Answer
theory   th best explanation of all available evidence  
🗑
cells   the smallest living subunits of a multicellular organixm  
🗑
microns   1/25000 of an inch  
🗑
plasma membrane or cell membrane   made of phospholipids cholesterol and proteins  
🗑
pores   channels to permit passage of materials  
🗑
enzymes   carriers that help substances enter the cell  
🗑
antigens   markers that identify the cells of an individual as "self"  
🗑
receptors sites   groups of proteins that bond with hormones causing chemical r4eactions within the cell membrane or the interior of the cell  
🗑
selectively permeable   substances are permitted to pass through and others are not  
🗑
nucleus   within the cytoplasm contains nucleoli and chromosomes of the cell  
🗑
nuclear membrane   double layer membrane around nucleus that has many pores  
🗑
nucleolus   small sphere made of DNA RNA and protein, the control center for the cell  
🗑
chromosomes   made of DNA and protein humans have 46 (23 pairs)  
🗑
chromatin   long threads that make up chromosomes  
🗑
gene   genetic code for one protein  
🗑
cytoplasm   water solution of minerals, gases, and organic molecules found between the cell membrane and nucleus  
🗑
organnelles   intracellular structures with specific roles in cellular function  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   extensive network of membranous tubules, passage way for transport of materials necessary for cell funcion  
🗑
ribosomes   site of protein synthesis  
🗑
golgi apparatus   site of carbohydrate systhesis  
🗑
mitochondria   site of aerobic reactions of cellular respiration (ATP production)  
🗑
aerobic   oxygen requiring  
🗑
lysosomes   bacterial destroying structures  
🗑
centrioles   pairs fo rod shaped structures located outside the nucleus that organize the spindle fibers during cell division  
🗑
cilia   short hair like projections taht sweep material across cell surface  
🗑
flagellum   long hair like projecion used for motility  
🗑
motility   movement  
🗑
microvilli   fold of cell membrane on the free surface of a cell for increase surface area for absorption  
🗑
diffusion   movement of molecules in a liquid or gas  
🗑
concentration gradient   movement of molecules from area of greater contration to lesser concentration  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane or barrier  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   molecules move through a membrane from greater to lesser concentration but they need assistance  
🗑
carrier enzymes (transporters)   protiens that are part of the cell membrane that bonds to glucose to transport the glucose into the interior of the cell  
🗑
active transport   requires ATP to move molecules from areas of lesser concentration  
🗑
filtration   water and dissolved materials are forced through a membrane from area of higher pressure to lower pressure requires energy from mechanical pressure but not ATP  
🗑
blood pressure   created by pumping of the heart, filtration  
🗑
phagocytosis   white blood cell engulfing bacteria, mobile. example- white blood cells  
🗑
pinocytosis   absorb small molecules, stationary example- cells of the kidney tubules  
🗑
isotonic   solution with same salt concentration than in cells  
🗑
hypotonic   solution with a lower salt concentration than in cells  
🗑
hypertonic   solutions with higher salt concentration than in cells  
🗑
DNA   double ostrand of nucleotides  
🗑
double helix   shaped like a spiral ladder  
🗑
genetic code   sequences of bases in our DNA  
🗑
genome   DNA of our 46 chromosomes  
🗑
gene   code for one protein  
🗑
triplet or codon   code for single amino acid consisting of 3 bases in the DNA  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
