Question | Answer |
what are the 6 functions of cells | 1. basic unit of life 2. protection and support 3. movement 4. communication 5. cell metabolism and energy release 6. inheritance |
what are organelles | specialized part of a cell performing one or more specific function |
what are cell membranes/ plasma membranes | outermost component of a cell. encloses cytoplasma and forms the boundary between material inside the cell and material outside it. |
what are extracellular substances? | substances outside the cell |
what are intracellular substances | substances inside the cell |
what are mosaic models | model used to show the structure and function of the cell membrane |
what is a nucleus | usually near the center of the cell. contains DNA, nucleoli. site of ribosome and mRNA synthesis. |
what is a Rough endoplasmic Reticulum | in cytoplasm. many ribosomes attached to ER. site of protein synthesis |
what are Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulums | in cytoplasm. site of lipid synthesis |
what is a Golgi Apparatus | in cytoplasm. modifies protein structures and packages proteins in secretory vesicles. |
what is a Lysosomes | in cytoplasm. contains enzymes that digest material taken into the cell. |
what is a mitochondrion | in cytoplasm. site of aerobic respiration and the major site of ATP synthesis |
what is a microtubules | in cytoplasm. supports cytoplasm. assists in cell division and forms components of cilia and flagella. |
what is a cilia | on cell surface with many on each cell. cilia move substances over surface of certain cells |
what is a flagella | on sperm cell surface with one per cell. propels the sperm cells |
what is a microvilli | extensions of cell surface with many on each cell. increase surface area of certain cells. |
what is a ribosomes | organelles where proteins are produced |
what is a cytoskeleton | consists of proteins that support the cell, hold organelles in place and enable the cell ot change shape. |
what are four ways molecules can pass through the cell membrane | 1. moves through phospholipids membrane 2. carrier molecules brings things in/out 3. through the membrane channels 4. through vesicles |
what is a solution | solid, liquid, or gas consisted of one or more substances |
what are solutes | substances that are dissolved |
what is a solvent | the substance that does the dissolving |
what is diffusion | movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration |
what is the concentration gradient | measure of the difference in the concentration of solute in a solvent |
what is osmosis | process by which water molecules diffuse across a cell membrane from high concentration to low concentration |
what is osmotic pressure | |
what is hypotonic | low solute concentration inside of a cell |
what is isotonic | concentration of solutes is equal both inside and outside of the cell |
what is hypertonic | high solute concentration inside of the cell |
what is faciliated diffusion | larger molecules use carrier protein to help them pass through the cell membrane |
what is active transport | transports that require energy |
what is the sodium potassium pump | pump used to move sodium and potassium ions from areas of low concentration to high concentration |
