QuestionAnswer
cell fundamental unit of life
Robert Hooke monk; 1st discovered cells
light microscopes 1st scopes created; visible light passed through specimen
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) thin sections; see ultrastructures
3 parts of cell theory 1- all living things made of cells 2- cells basic unit of structure and function in living things 3- all cells come from pre-existing cells
similarities prokaryote & eukaryote 1- plasma membrane, 2- cytosol (cytoplasm), 3- chromosomes, 4- ribosomes
plasma membrane 1- semi-premeable, 2- phospholipid bi-layer, 3- fluid mosaic model
cytosol semifluid substance; cytoplasm
chromosomes genes- usually DNA but could be RNA
ribosomes protein synthesis
prokaryote/ eukaryote differences Pro- contains plasmids, no nucleus, no membrane bound organelles Euk- nucleus & no membrane bound organelles
prokaryote kingdoms Bacteria & Archaea
eukaryote kingdoms plant, animal, protist, fungi
3 cell shapes coccus bacillus spirillia **comes last in name
3 cell arrangments diplo strepto straphylo **comes first in name
nucleus components nuclear membrane (envelope), chromosomes (DNA), nucleolus (RNA)
ribosomes protein factory, attached to rough ER or cytoplasm (free floating), uses mRNA (messenger), uses tRNA (transfer)
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) rough & smooth, make about 50% cell contents, connected to nucleus membrane
smooth ER no ribosomes, makes lipids (hormones), detoxify
rough ER has ribosomes, glcoproteins
golgi apparatus (body) "shipping center", manufactures, stores, sorts, and ships products of cells
lysosome digestion/ recycling center, break apart compounds; low ph- acidic =denaturation
phagocytosis food vacuole + lysosome = used to digest food
central vacuole storage of sugars/ wastes; breakdown waste; increase in size makes plant bigger
peroxisome single membrane; contains enzymes to break down 2H(subscript)2O(sub)2[hydrogen poroxyd] --> 2H(sub)2O + O(sub)2 [into water & oxygen]
4 reasons difficult molecules go into cell 1- size, 2- shape, 3- concentration, and 4- charge/ polarity
amphipathic phospholipid bi-layer; (ie soup)
passive transport diffusion & osmosis; no work needed
diffusion high to low; EX gases & liquids
regular diffusion oxygen, carbon dioxide, and urea; are wastes, therefore need to leave easily
diffusion with channel protein water (aquaporin)
facilitated diffusion glucose, amino acids; too big or charged to pass
osmosis water high to low; no energy required
hypertonic solution water flows out; plasmolysis- cell shrink
hypotonic solution water in; increase turgor pressure; cell expands
isotonic equilibrium, but doesnt stop moving
active transport low to high; energy required; uses carrier proteins; uses ATP (energy source)
sodium potassium pump creates voltage difference across membrane
endocytosis into cell
exocytosis out cell
enzymes protein responsible for metabolism in body
substrate enzyme acting on
products molecule of enzyme facilitated reaction
how enzymes work lock and key effect; puts pressure on bonds that could cause them to break (EX toothpick)
induced-fit model enzyme changes to fit substrate
factors that affect enzyme activity temperature, ph, salt concentration
inhibitor binds to enzyme & decreases shape effectiveness
types of inhibitors competitive & non-competitive
competitive inhibitor makes enzyme; useless by binding in active site
noncompetitive inhibitor bonds on enzyme & changes shape
allosteric site where inhibitors will bind; used for noncompetitive inhibitors and activators
cofactors increase function of enzyme; metal- stretch bonds to break more easily;
coenzyme nonprotein organic molecules; nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
why do we not want enzymes always "on"? disrupts homeostasis
coccus round
bacillus elongated, rod cells
spirillia spiral shaped cells
diplo paired
strepto chained
straphylo clustered

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.
