| How do things move across cell membrane? | Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated (Active)Transport, Endocytosis, Exocytosis |
| Diffusion | substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (down the concentration gradient) |
| Does cell need energy when using diffusion? | No |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water |
| Does cell need energy when using osmosis? | No |
| Isotonic solution | Salt in solution matches water in solution |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Requires transport protein to move solute from high concentration to low concentration but does not require energy |
| Facilitated Transport | Solute moves from area of low concentration to area of high concentration |
| Does cell need energy when using Facilitated Transport? | Yes (ATP) |
| Does cell need to use a transport protein when using Facilitated Transport? | Yes |
| Endocytosis | Cell transports substances into the cell molecule by packing the substance into a vesicle from cell membrane. |
| vesicle | Membrane encases sac |
| Exocytosis | Cell transports substances to outside of the cell via a vesicle which fuses with the outside membrane releasing the substances. |
| What are the organellas of a cell? | Nucleus, ribosomes, endomembrane system, cystoskeleton, cilia and flagella, and mitrochondria |
| Which organellas (structures) are involved in protein production? | Nucleus, ribosomes, and endomembrane system |

| What is the difference between the Prokaryote ribosome and the Eukaryote ribosome? | Prokaryate is smaller (60s); the Eukaryate is 80s. |
| What is the Endomembrane system? | a series of membranes in cytoplasm; protein and lipids are made on membranes and transported to other membranes |
| What structures/organellas are part of the Endomembrane System? | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER), Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER); Vesicles, Golgi, and Lysomes |
| What is the structure of SER? | Tubular sheets of membranes, continuous of the RER. |

| What is the structure of the RER? | flatten sheets of membranes, contains ribosomes on surfaces, and continuous with nuclear membrane |
| What is the function of the RER? | Protein synthesis on ribosomes, insertion of protein into membrane; from there sent to golgi via vesicles |
| What is the structure of the golgi? | stack of membranes; lumen of golgi (inner space) |

| What is structure of lysosome? | Looks like a big ole vesicle; contains digestive enzymes |
| What is the function of lysosome? | cell's stomach - breakdown macromolecules, nutrients and cell parts |
| What is the cytoskeleton? | network of molecules inside cells |
