ch. 4 cells

ch. 4

cells smallest unit of life; can reproduce itself
cell theory all living organism are made up of one or more cells; arise from other preexisting cells
prokaryotes single cell, small. simple, no organelles, circular DNA, ex: bacteria
eukaryotes single or multi celled, large, complex, nucleus and organelles present, linear DNA, ex fungi
Plasma membrane separate cells chemically and physically from environment
cytoplasma jelly like fluid w them all
ribosomes builds proteins
cell wall only in plants; surrounds the plasma membrane; extra support
capsule sticky outer layer
pivi hair like (movement)
flagellum tail (movement)
endosymbiosis theory developed to explain the presence of two organelles in eukaryotes
chloroplast & mitochondria both similiar in size to prokaryotic cells and divided by spitting; have ribosome; small amount of circular DNA and highly related to bacterial DNA
eukaryote cell parts nucleus, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, rough ER, smooth ER, golgi apparatus, and mitochondria
cytoskeleton shapes and supports, control traffic, and help movement, plant and animals
rough ER folds and package proteins
smooth ER lipids, phospholipids, steroid, and detox
golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins, lipids, and other molecules
mitochondria convert chemical energy (food); produces atp, co2, and water, animal and plants
plant cells cell wall, chloroplasts, and vacuoles
cell wall nutrient storage and waste management only in plants
chloroplast predator determine and sexual reproductions
vacuoles physical support
plasma membrane more multiple functions. take in food and out, dispute of waste producers, build and export molecule, request flow of materials into and out of cell
membrane fingerprints recognition proteins, cells w or improper fingerprints are recognized as foreign and are attacked by boy defense
passive transport molecules movement with no energy; diffusion
simple diffusion small molecule with no charge
facilitated diffusion molecule with an electrical charge move through proteins, too big to fit through the membrane
osmosis molecule movement occurs without energy
tonicity relative concentration of solutes outside of the cell relative to inside the cell
hypertonic low water outside, high water inside
hypotonic low solute outside, high water inside
isotonic same
active transport transport of molecules with energy
molecule are large and moved against their concentration gradient 1. primary active transport uses energy directly from ATP 2. secondary active transport indirect method of fueling transportation instead of releasing atp
tight junctions water tight seals around the cell, helps anchor cells in place
desmosomes hold cells together but not water tight, like velcro
gap junction form open channels between two cells; large enough for salts, sugars, and amino acids to pass through; cell to cell communication
nucleus animals, plants, directs cellular activity and stores hereditary information
lysosome animal, plants; digest and recycles waste graduates and consumed materials
endocytosis into cells
vacuole sometimes plants and animals store nutrients, provides pigments. and structural support
chloroplast plants,proteins, photosynthesis
hydrophilic head attracted to water, composed of a glyceid linked to phosphorus
hydrophobic tail not attracted to water, composed of carbon hydrogen chains
exocytosis method by which cells export products for use in another location
steps of exocytosis 1. molecules are packaged in the cell 2. vesicle fuses w the cells plasma membrane 3.vesicle contents are released for use throughout the body

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
