Biology #11
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cilia | Hair-like projections that cae cell use movement or push things along |
| Cytosol | watery substance inside of the cell |
| Flagellum | whip-like structure used for movement |
| Lysosome | defend the cell and remove dead materials |
| Mitochondria | produces energy in the cell via cellular respiration |
| Nucleus | control center of the the cell |
| Vacuoles/Vesicles | used for internal storage |
| Active transport | Goes against the concentration gradient to cross the cell membrane |
| Eucaryotic | Type of cell with a nucleus and organelles |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Requires a channel or carrier protein in order to cross the cell membrane |
| Hypertonic Solution | Higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside |
| Isotonic Solution | Same concentration of solution inside and outside the cell |
| Metatbolism | Overall sum of body processes; rate at which energy is consumed by organisms |
| Messenger RNA | Carries the sequence of codons outside the nucleus for protein synthesis |
| Ribosomal RNA | Where protein assemble occurs |
| Name one type of cell boundary | membrane, wall, OR capsule |
| What is the energy currency used in the body? | ATP |
| Which type of organism--autotroph or heterotroph--is a producer? | autotroph |
| What is the study of cells called? | cytology |
| OP (optimal point) | best possible point of operation, peak performance |
| OR (optimal range) | works well within this specific range (temps, concentrations, etc. |
| RoT (range of tolerance) | cells function, but not very well, performance is falling |
| LoT (limit of tolerance) | cells cannot function any longer and cease to operate |
| What happens when the solution is too concentrated inside of the cell? | more solution must be brought in to balance it out and the cell ruptures from too much fluid being added to the inside |
| What happens when the solution is too concentrated on the outside of the cell? | solution rushes out of the cell to balance the concentration and the cell collapses because there is not enough inside to withstand the pressure |
| Bonus: How much ATP does the average adult use in one day? | 150 kg |
