Yeasts, protozoa, plants, fungi, and animals are ____ (multicellular). eukaryotes
process of gradual specialization of daughter cells cell differentiation
contents of the cell cytoplasm
a small, spherical, membrane-enclosed sac that moves lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates between cellular components by fusing with the membrane of the target destination transport vesicle
The plasma membrane is made up of a _____________ with ______ (water-loving) heads and ____ (water-fearing) tails. phospholipid bilayer, hydrophilic, hydrophobic
Plasma membrane proteins bound to surface peripheral
Plasma membrane proteins integrated into membrane integral/transmembrane

energy-releasing reactions involved in the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones catabolism
all chemical reactions occurring inside cells metabolism
acts as a fluidity buffer in animal cells cholesterol
Why do we need plasma membrane proteins? (?) They help cells attach tot he cytoskeleton and extracellular where they need to be fixed. They are not floating around. These proteins also assist in transport, enzymatic activity, signal transduction, cell-cell recognition, and intercellular joining.
passive transport of a substance from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until it has reached equilibrium diffusion
a type of passive diffusion that moves water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration osmosis
equal concentration of solute inside and outside the cell isotonic
when the extracellular environment has a lower solute concentration than the inside of the cell, causing water to flow into the cell, making it swell hypotonic
when the extracellular solution has a higher solute concentration than the inside of the cell, causing water to flow out of the cell, making it shrink hypertonic
Hydrophilic molecules need assistance to pass through the plasma membrane in a process called _____. facilitated diffusion
In facilitated diffusion, _____ proteins move substances down a concentration gradient based on a molecule's size and charge without any energy input. channel
In facilitated diffusion, ____ proteins transport specific molecules across the plasma membrane based on the shape of the molecule. carrier
proteins that assist in diffusion of molecules and ions from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration passive carrier
proteins that use ATP to pump molecules across the plasma membrane across a concentration gradient active carrier
substances to be exported from a cell are packaged into transport vesicles exocytosis
brings substances into the cell by wrapping them in a section of the plasma membrane endocytosis
Macrophage's pseudopodium surround a particle, vesicle to food vacuole, fuse with lysosome to break down the particle phagocytosis

cytoplasmic structure that performs a unique function in the cell organelle
cells surrounded by watery medium called ____ extracellular fluid
fluids inside cell intracellular
separates cell from its external environment and exhibits selective permeability plasma membrane
