Biology Module-6

QuestionAnswer
Aborption The transport of dissolved subtances into cells
Digestion The breakdown of absorbed substances
Respiration The breakdown of food molcules with a release of energy
Excretion The removal of soluble waste materials
Egestion The removal of nonsoluble waste materials
Secretion The release of biosynthesized substances
Homeostasis Maintaining the status quo
Reproduction Producing more cells
Cytology The study of cells
Cell wall A ridgid stucture on the outside of certain cells, usually plant and bacteria cells
Middle lamella The tine film between the cell walls od adjacent plant cells
Plasma membrane The semipermeable membrane between the cell contents and either the cell wall or the cells surroundings
Cytoplasm A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
Ions Substances in which at least one atom has an imbalance of protons and electrons
Cytoplasmic streaming The motion of cytoplasm in a cell that results in a coordinated movement of the cells contents
Mitochondria The orgabeles in which nutrients are converted to energy
Lysosome The organelle in animal cells repsonible for hydrolysis reactions that break down proteins, plysaccharides, disaccharides and come lipids
Ribosomes Non-membrane-bounded organelles repsonible for protein synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulu, An organelle composesd of an extensive network of folded membranes that preforms several tasks within a cel
Rough ER ER that is dotted with ribosomes
Smooth ER ER that has no ribosomes
Leucplassts Organelles that store starches or oils
Cromoplasts Organelles that contain pigemts used in photosynthesis
Central vacuole A large vauole that rests at the center of most plant cells and is filled with a solution that contains a high concentration os solutes
Waster vacuoles Vacuoles that contain the water products of digestion
Phagocytosis The process by which a cell engulfs foreign substances or other cells
Phagocytic vacuole A vacuole that holds the matter which a cell engulfs
Pinocytic vesicle Vesicle formed at the plasma membrane to allow the abosrption of large molecules
Secretion vesicle Vesicle that holds secretion products so that they can be transported to the plasma membrane and released.
Microtubules Spiral strands of protein molecules that form a tubelike structure
Nuclear membrane A highly-porous membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Chromatin Clusters of DNA RNA and proteins in the nucleus of a cell
Cytoskeleton A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement
Microfilaments Fine, threadlike proteins dounf in the cells cytoskeleton
Intermediate filaments Threadlike proteins in the cells cytoskeleton that are roughly twice as thick as microfilaments
Phospholipid A lipid in which one of the fatty acid molecules has been replaced by a molecule that contains a phosphate group.
Passive transport Movement of molecules through plasma membran according to the dictates of osmosis or diffusion
Active transport Movement of molecules through the plasma membrane aided by a process that requires energy
Isotonic solution A solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of the cell which resides in the solution
Hypertonic solution A solution in which the concentration of solutes is reat then that of the cell that resides in the solution
Plasmolysis Collapse of a walled cells cytpplasm due to lack of water
Cytolosis The rupturing of a cell due to excess internal pressure
Hypotonic solution A solution in which the concentration of solutes is less then that of the cell that resides in the solution
Activation energy Energy necessary to get a chemical reaction going
Name the organelles that play a role in biosynthesis Ribosome, Smooth ER, Rough ER, Chloroplast, Leucoplast, golgi bodies, nucleus
What helps the cell holds its shape if it does not have a cell wall? Cytoskeleton and ER
How does a plant cell fight osmosis in a hypotonic solution? Central vacuole
A cell contains centrioles and lysosomes. Is it plant or animal? Animal
What organelles are involved in secretion? Cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, golgi body, secretion vesicle.
What things in the cell deal with cellular movement? Cytoplasm, Smooth ER, Rough ER, Centriols, cytoskeleton and golgi bodies secretion vesicle and waste vacuoles
What are the 11 major tasks cells must perform? Absorbtion, Digestion, Movement, Reproduction, Homeostasis, Egestion, Respiration, Biosynthesis, Excretion, Secretion, Iritability
What is the difference between a phospholipid and a regular lipid? A phospholipid is a lipid in which one of the fatty acid molecules has been replaced by a molecule that contains a phosphate group.
What makes it possible for the plasma membrane to self-asseble? The hydrophilic and hydrophobic acids
A cell beings running low on food, and its energy output decreases by 20%. What kind of plasma membrane transport is affected? Active transport
If a cell dies by implosion, what kind of solution was it in? Hypertonic
List the four stages of aerobic cellular respiration in the order in which they occur. In addition note the net # of ATPs that are made in each step 1. Glycolysis 2. fromation of acetyl coenzyme A 3. Kerbs cycle 4. Electron transport system
What is ATPs purpose in the cell? Stores and releases energy
IF a cell has no oxygen, what stage(s) of areobic cellular respiration can still run? How many ATPs can it make from a molecule of glucose? Gylcolysis
A scientist determines a means to extract all ADP from a cell. Why will this kill the cell? Because the energry from the ADP acomplishes most of the tasks in a cell
What organelle is responsible for breaking polysaccharides into monosaccharides? Lysosomes
What is a plasma membrane made of? Protien, Cholesterol, Phosolipids
