Bio Cells Test

QuestionAnswer
What protein passes through to the hydrophobic region of a cell membrane? Integral protein
What integral protein passes through the entire bilayer of a cell? Transmembrane protein
What protein doesn't interact with the hydrophobic region of a cell membrane? Peripheral protein
What is a name for a peripheral protein that is completely on the surface of the bilayer of a cell membrane? Surface protein
What is the name of a protein attached to a carbohydrate on a cell membrane surface? Glycoprotein
What is the name of a lipid attached to a carbohydrate on a cell membrane surface? Glycolipid
What is the main purpose of a glycoprotein? Cell adhesion
What is the main purpose of a glycolipid? Stabilizes the cell membrane
What does cholesterol do in a cell membrane? Helps regulate the fluidity
What helps regulate the fluidity of a cell membrane? Cholesterol
What allows specific ions to pass through the membrane along their concentration gradients? (type of facilitated diffusion) Channel proteins
What protein changes shape to allow molecules to pass using ATP? Carrier proteins
What protein receives signals (like hormones) sent from other cells? Receptor proteins
What is dissolved in a solvent? A solute
What dissolves a solute? A solvent
Cell membranes are ________ permeable Selectively
What is concentration? How much of a solute is in a solvent
What is the physical difference in properties? Concentration gradient
What is the act of materials going through the cell membrane without energy? Simple diffusion
What is the act of materials going through protein channels without energy? Facilitated diffusion
What is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane? Osmosis
What can osmosis occur through (two things)? Phospholipid bilayer, aquaporin channels
What is it called when molecules use energy to move? Active transport
How many sodium and potassium ions can bind in a sodium-potassium pump? Three sodium, two potassium
What are the two types of bulk transport? Endocytosis, exocytosis
What are the three types of endocytosis? Phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis
What is phagocytosis? Cytoplasm extensions surround a particle and package it in a food vacuole (cell eating)
What is pinocytosis? Cells form small pockets along the membrane, they fill with a liquid and form vacuoles (cell drinking)
What is receptor-mediated endocytosis? Receptors on cell membrane pockets bind to specific molecules, pockets deepen and pinch off as a vesicle
What is exocytosis? Membrane-enclosed vesicle fuses with membrane and releases it outside of the cell
What does hypotonic mean? A solution which has less solutes than another solution
What does isotonic mean? A solution which has the same amount of solutes as another solution
What does hypertonic mean? A solution which has more solutes than another solution
The cell theory states ________ All living things are made of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, new cells are only produced form existing cells
What kind of cell is bacteria? Prokaryotic
In a prokaryotic cell, there is a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. (True or False) False
Can prokaryotic cells carry out the same functions as eukaryotic cells? Yes
Examples of eukaryotic cells include _______ Animals, plants, fungi
The cells of multicellular organisms cannot survive individually. (True or False) True
What breaks down fatty acids? Peroxisome
What is used for movement of substances or bringing food inside the organism? Cilium/Cilia
What forms spindle fibers during mitosis and meiosis? Centriole
What helps digest food for a cell and breaks down bacteria and viruses? Lysosome
What organelle creates cellular energy through the synthesis of ATP? Mitochondria
What breaks down drugs, alcohols, and toxins and makes lipids, fats, and steroids? Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
What moves a cell through a liquid medium? Flagellum
This is made of microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments Cytoskeleton
What allows RNA and ribosomes to leave the nucleus and proteins and molecules from the cytoplasm to enter the nucleus? Nuclear Pores
What contains genes? DNA
What creates and assembles ribosomes? Nucleolus
What stores and protects DNA? Nucleus
What forms vesicles around proteins made by ribosomes? Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
What makes proteins? Ribosomes
What receives, modifies and ships out proteins and lipids from the RER and SER? Golgi Bodies
What contain and transport substances? Golgi vesicles/vacuoles
What are small channels that directly connect the cytoplasm of neighboring plant cells to each other? Plasmodesmata
What stores water and waste in a plant cell? Central vacuole
What performs photosynthesis which creates food for plants and other photoautotrophic eukaryotes? Chloroplasts
What is the outermost rigid coating of a plant cell? Cell wall
What says that certain organelles in eukaryotes have prokaryotic origins? Endosymbiotic theory
Membrane-bound organelles are organelles with no _______ Membranes

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.
