Cells

QuestionAnswer
prokaryotic cells usually smaller, doesn't contain a nucleus or other membrane enclosed organelles (ex.bacteria and archaea)
eukaryotic cells membrane enclosed organelles, largest organelle is usually the nucleus (ex.plants,animals, fungi)
Plasma Membrane -double layer of phospholipids and proteins -has carrier proteins -transports in one direction and receptors recognize certain chemicals
Cell Walls -found in plants,fungi, and many protists -surrounds plasma membrane *plants cell wall is mostly cellulose *fungi cell wall contains chitin
Cytoplasm -viscous fluid containing organelles - components: *interconnected filament and fibers(cytoskeleton) *fluid-cytosol *organelles(not nucleus)
Cytoskeleton -fibers and filaments - 3 fiber types: *microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments - 3 functions: *mechanical support, anchor organelles, & help move substances
Cilia and Flagella -provide motility -cilia is short & is used to move substances outside human cells -flagella is whip-like extensions
Centrioles -pairs of microtubular structures -play a role in cell division
Nucleus -controls center of cell -has a double membrane -contains chromosomes and nucleolus
Nuclear Envelope -separates nucleus from the rest of the cell -double membrane -has pores
Nucleolus -most cells have 2 or more -direct synthesis of RNA -forms ribosomes
Endoplasmic Recticulum(ER) -helps moves substances within cells -network of interconnected membranes -2 types: rough and smooth
Rough ER -ribosomes are attached to surface -manufactured proteins -not all attach -may modify proteins form ribosomes
Smooth ER -not attached ribosomes -has enzymes that help build molecules -carbohydrates and lipids
Golgi Apparatus -involved in synthesis of plant cell wall -packaging and shipping station of cell (UPS)
Lysosomes -contains digestive enzynmes -functions: aid in cell renewal,breakdown old cell plants, and digestive invaders -suicide cell
Vacuoles -membrane bound storage sacs -more common in plants than animals -contains: water, food, wastes
Mitochondria -has its own DNA -double membrane -breaks down fuel molecules(celluar respiration) *glucose and fatty acids -release energy(ATP)
Chloroplast -derived from photosynthetic bacteria -solar energy capturing organelle -only in plants
Passive Transport -no energy required -move due to gradient -move to equalize gradient -2 types: diffusion and osmosis
diffusion molecules move to equalize concentration (ex. spraying perfume)
osmosis "special form" fluids flow from lower solute concentration
hypotonic -solutes in a cell is greater on the inside -outside solvent will flow into a cell
isotonic solute is equal in and out of the cell`
hypertonic -solute is greater on the outside of the cell -fluid will flow out of cell
Facilitated Diffusion -differentially permeable membrane -channels helps molecules or ions enter or leave the cell
Active Transport -requires energy - moves against the gradient
Endocytosis -particles, organisms, and large molecules move into the cell -2 types: bulk phase (nonspecific) receptor phase (specific)
phago pino cell eating cell drinking
Exocytosis materials leave the cell
Principles of Cell Theory -living things are made of cells -smallest living unit of structure and function -all cells arise from preexisting cells

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.
