Unit 3 Biology Kloet

QuestionAnswer
What is a cell? the basic structural unit of life
Leeuwenhoek observed live cells and observed greater detail
Hooke was the first to identify cells and name them
Schleiden concluded that plants are made of cells
Virchow proposed that all cells come from other cells
Schwann concluded that animals and, in fact, all living things are made of cells
Cell Theory The idea that cells are the fundamental units of life
Cell Theory 1: All organisms are composed of one or more cells and their products
Cell Theory 2: All Cells come from the division of preexisting cells (therefore they must contain genetic info)
Cell Theory 3: All cells carry out chemical reactions of life
Two basic cell types? Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Which cell has a nucleus? Eukaryotic
Which cell does not have a nucleus? Prokaryotic
Which cell is single-celled? Prokaryotic
Which cell is multi-cellular? Eukaryotic
Which cell contians many membrane-bound organelles Eukaryotic
Which cell lacks internal membrane bound organelles Prokaryotic
Both cells have: cell membrane, genetic material, ribosomes, and cytoplasm.
Fluid Mosaic Model: Describes the arrangement of molecules making up a cell membrane.
Selective Permeability Allows some materials to cross, enables cell to maintain homeostasis
Receptors: Molecules that deduct a signal molecule and perform an action in response
Ligand Molecules Signal molecule
Intracellular Receptor Proteins located inside the cell and bind to ligand molecules that CAN cross the membrane
Membrane Receptor Proteins located in the membrane; binds to ligand molecules that CANNOT cross the membrane and causes changes in shape to transmit message to inside the cell
Passive Transport: 3 types movement of molecules from a high concentration WITHOUT USING ENERGY.
Diffusion: Movement of molecules from high concentration to low
Osmosis: movement of H2O from high H2O to lower concentration of H2O
Concentration Gradient: difference in concentration
Hypertonic: the solution that has the highest concentration of particles
Hypotonic: the solution that has a lower concentration of particles compared with another solution
Isotonic: solution that has an equal concentration of particles compared with another solution
Facilitated Diffusion: movement from high concentration to low through a membrane protein. NO energy required.
Active Transport: movement across the membrane that requires energy (ATP)
Endocytosis: folding membrane that brings material INTO a cell. REQUIRES ENERGY
Exocytosis: movement of materials OUT of a cell. REQUIRES ENERGY
Which organelle acts as an intracellular highway? Endoplasmic Reticulum
Which organelle does Bacteria not have? Golgi Apparatus
Cell Walls are; rigid or flexible? rigid
Cell membrane is; rigid or flexible flexible
Phospholipid contains: Charged phosphate group, Glycerol, and two fatty acid chains
Phosphate group is polar or nonpolar? Polar (charged)
Glycerol is polar or nonpolar? Polar (charged)
Fatty Acid Tail is polar or nonpolar? Nonpolar
What strengthens the cell membrane? Cholesterol
What helps materials cross the membrane and are also a part of the cytoskeleton? Proteins
What helps identify cell types? Carbohydrates
A cell may transport a substance in _______ if the substance is too large to cross the membrane. vesicles
During endocytosis, the vesicle membrane fuses witha lysosome, and the membrane and its contents are broken down by lysosomal __. enzymes
Phagocytosis: means "cell eating." It describes a type of endocytosis

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
