Cell Parts

QuestionAnswer
What type of system is used to classify all living things? Three domain system
What are the three domains? Bacteria, Archaebacteria, and Eukaryotes.
What are the four types of eukaryotes? protists, plants, fungi, and animals
What is the most prolific (abundant) kingdom? Bacteria
How many shapes of bacteria are there and what are the shapes? Three shapes- rods, spheres, and spirals.
How many cells do prokaryotic organisms contain? one
How big are prokayotes compared to eukaryotes? 1/10 the size
What organelle do eukaryotes have? Ribosomes
What is a prokaryotes DNA like? Circular
What are the three methods prokaryotes use to acquire energy? photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and heterotrophic
How do photoautotrophs obtain energy? photosynthesis
How do chemoautotrophs obtain energy? Oxidizing inorganic compounds... nitrogen sulfur, hydrogen.
How do heterotrophs obtain energy? Consuming other plant/animal matter...decomposers and pathogens.
In what ways are bacteria important to life on Earth? Decomposing, nitrogen fixation, help in digestion, and produce foods and medicines.
How do eukaryotes differ from prokaryotes? They have membrane bound organelles and a nucleus.
Define organelles Units within a cell that perform specific functions.
Cell membrane Selectively permeable lipid bilayer.
Cytoplasm/cytosol Jelly-like substance, holds organelles in place
Mitochondria creates cellular energy- ATP
Golgi body Packages proteins and fats into usable substances
Endoplasmic Reticulum- Rough/Smooth Transports proteins. Rough: has ribosomes. Smooth: no ribosomes
Ribosomes Make proteins
Nucleus Contains DNA, "brain of the cell"
Nuclear envelope Nucleus membrane
Chromatin DNA/proteins in nucleus
Nucleolus Produces ribosomes
Vesicles Remove wastes and bring nutrients into the cell
Lysosomes Contain enzymes that digest wastes
What three parts are found only in animal cells and what are their functions? Cell wall- supports and protects the cell Chloroplasts- create energy Vacuoles- large sack of water, supports cell
What is found in the cell membrane between phospholipids? Integral proteins.
What are proteins called found on the outside of the cell membrane? Peripheral proteins.
Define passive transport The movement of molecules across the cell membrane using none of the cell's energy
What are the three types of passive transport? Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What is diffusion? The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion? Facilitated diffusion uses ion channels.
What is osmosis? The diffusion of water across a cell membrane.
Define isotonic. When there is an equal amount of water inside and outside of the cell.
Define hypotonic. Less solutes in the cell than outside.
What happens to a hypotonic cell? It pushes water out to lower concentration of molecules on the outside and shrinks.
What is it called when a hypotonic cell shrinks? Plasmolysis.
Define hypertonic More solutes in the cell than outside.
What happens to a hypertonic cell? Water moves in through osmosis and the cell swells.
What is the expansion of a plant cell called? Turgor pressure
What is the explosion of a cell called? Cytolysis
How is active transport different from passive transport? It uses the cell's energy (ATP) to move molecules across the cell membrane.
Why does active transport require energy? Because the molecules are moving up the concentration gradient (from low concentration to high concentration)
When is active transport used? To get large molecules across cell membrane, get rid of wastes, obtain food.
What are the four types of active transport? Pumps, gated channels, endocytosis, and exocytosis.
What is one type of pump? Sodium potassium pump
What are gated channels? Integral proteins that open and close.
What is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis? Exocytosis gets rid of molecules and endocytosis brings molecules into the cell.
How do endocytosis and exocytosis work? Vesicles surround molecules and transport them either in or out of the cell.

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.
