Organelles and Transport
| term | definition |
|---|---|
| phospholipid | molecule of cell membrane passive transport |
| protein | passive transport active transport support of phospholipid bilayer |
| active transport | uses energy, movement from low to high conc. |
| passive transport | uses little to no energy, movement from high to low conc. |
| cholesterol | stabilizes cell membrane |
| carbohydrates | molecule for chemical identification and communication between cells |
| hypotonic solution | solution has higher conc. than cell cytoplasm |
| hypertonic solution | solution has lower conc. than cell cytoplasm |
| isotonic solution | solution has equal conc. to cell cytoplasm |
| dynamic equilibrium | equal conc. on both sides of the membrane, balanced movement of water |
| selectively permeable | some materials can pass through; while others can't |
| faciliated diffusion | proteins create a channel; to help molecules diffuse |
| vacuole | storage organelle |
| smooth ER | synthesis & transport of lipids |
| ribosomes | protein synthesis |
| mitochondria | produces energy source for the cell |
| nucleolus | regulates ribosomes and protein synthesis |
| lysosome | contains enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions |
| rough ER | synthesis & transport of proteins |
| microtubules & microfilaments | part of cytoskeleton |
| golgi apparatus | package & shipping center for cell |
| cell membrane | boundary and regulates what enters & leaves the cell |
| cell wall | support & protection - outside cell membrane |
| plastid | storage of pigment for trapping solar energy |
| centrioles | organization of DNA during cell division |
| nucleus | control center; regulates functions of the cell |
| chromatin or DNA | genetic code; for everything that happens in the cell |
