adhesion the ability of water molecules to adhere to polar surfaces due to hydrogen bonding. ex is water molecules bonding to a car window
surface tension the invisible, stretchy skin-like force on the surface of a liquid that makes it resist external pressure and shrink to the smallest possible area. ex is overfilling a glass of water slightly - surface tension holds the molecules together
capillary action the movement of a liquid through a narrow space or porous material against an opposing force like gravity . ex is plants drawing water up through their roots(capillaries are the smallest of the blood vessels in the circulatory system)
polarity combination of atoms in which the electrical charge is not distributed symmetrically. ex is H2O because theres two hydrogen and one oxygen

protein channels special tunnel inside a cell's membrane that lets specific polar or charged molecules pass through
hydorphobic/hydroplilic regions hydrophobic is a type of molecule that doesn't interact with water because it is nonpolar. hydroplillic is a type of molecule that interacts with water by dissolving in water and/or forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules
selective permeability the cell membrane's ability to allow some molecules/ions through to the cell but reject others
diffusion movement of molecules or ions from a region of HIGHER to LOWER concentration; it requires NO ENERGY and stops when the distribution is equal
osmosis diffusion of water from an area HIGH concentration to LOW concentration through a selectively permeable membrane
facilitated diffusion the passive movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration with the HELP OF TRANSPORT PROTEINS
active transport movement of a molecule across a plasma membrane from an area of LOWER concentration to one of HIGHER concentration; uses a carrier protein and energy
exocytosis an active transport process by which a cell expels large molecules, proteins, or waste by fusing internal vesicles with the cell's plasma membrane (BRINGS OUT THINGS)
endocytosis an active cellular transport process where a cell brings in extracellular fluids, macromolecules, and large particles by folding its plasma membrane inward to form a vesicle (BRINGS IN THINGS)
Which process requires ATP? Active transport
What is movement from high to low concentration? Passive (diffusion)
hypertonic solution a liquid with a higher concentration of dissolved particles (like salt or sugar) than what is found inside a cell (MORE SALT THAN WATER)
hypotonic solution a liquid that has fewer dissolved particles (like salt or sugar) and more water than the inside of a cell (MORE WATER THAN SALT)
isotonic solution a fluid that has the same concentration of solutes and osmolality as normal body fluids or blood (SALT AND WATER ARE BALANCED)
How do you predict whether a cell will gain water, swell, shrink, or remain the same? Gain water when you drink water, swell when you drink water, shrink when you don't drink water and there is more salt, cells will remain the same when there is a equal amount of water and salt
Why is there not pure water in an IV bag? The cells will explode. They put saline in the bag to match the concentration of human blood.
Stages of the cell cycle Interphase = growth phase Mitosis = nuclear division Cytokinesis = cell splits into 2 daughter cells
What happens during interphase? the cell grows
Stages of mitosis in order prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase
know how to identify the cell stages from diagrams look in your notes
Role of cytokinesis division of the cytoplasm following mitosis and meiosis - seperates into two daugter cells
role of spindle fibers (in mitosis) to equally divide genetic material and separate chromosomes into new daughter cells during cell division - centroiles form a spindle in cell division
role of centromeres (in mitosis) holds the two sister chromatids together. ensures accurate chromosome distribution and cell division during mitosis and meiosis
role of chromosomes (in mitosis) store, organize, and protect your genetic code. chromosomes are are chromatin condensed into a compact structure
role of chromatids (in mitosis) to package and carry exact copies of DNA so that each new cell receives the correct genetic information
What happens to chromosome number after mitosis? The final chromosome number does not change during normal mitosis
All three parts of the Cell Theory All organisms are made of one or more cells. Life functions occur within cells. All cells come from preexisting cells.
Prokaryotic cells (also know how they differ from eukaryotic cells) Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Their DNA is found in the cytoplasm. Unicellular - single celled No membrane bound organelles Examples include bacteria, which are single-celled organisms.
Eukaryotic cells (also know how they differ from prokaryotic cells) Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that protects their DNA. They are usually larger and found in multicellular organisms. Multicellular - Multicelled Membrane bound organelles Examples include plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
Characteristics that prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells share a plasma membrane that acts as an outer barrier, cytoplasm (or cytosol) that fills the inside of the cell, DNA that serves as the genetic material, and ribosomes that build proteins
Where is DNA located? nucleus
Relationship between DNA, chromatin, chromosomes, chromatids, and centromeres same genetic material structured at differentstages of a cells life. dna stores genetic material,chromatin packages dna,chromosomes are made of dna and carry dna from cell to cell,chromatids are coiled molecules of dna,centromeres link chromatids together
Where does cellular respiration occur? mitocondria
Why are mitochondria important for energy production? it is the powerhouse of the cell, so it converts nutrients and oxygen into ATP (basically it is the place where energy is made)
Why do cells that require more energy contain more mitochondria? mitochondria are the primary sites for generating ATP (energy for cells)
How can malfunctioning organelles cause disease? by disrupting vital cellular processes like energy production, waste clearance, and chemical signaling
Tay-Sachs disease caused by defective lysosomes, the lysosomes can't clear toxic materials from the cell, kids usually pass away by 5 years old
PCD a rare, inherited disorder that affects the structure and function of cilia, that line the surfaces of various tissues in the body.
diabetes a condition where sugar stays trapped in your blood instead of moving into your body's cells to be used for energy - body cannot take or use insulin correctly
cancer a disease where body cells grow and multiply out of control instead of following normal rules
situs inversus genetic condition where the major organs in the chest and abdomen are placed in a complete mirror image of normal human anatomy
how can uncontrolled cell division lead to cancer damaged or mutated cells ignore normal body signals to stop growing, multiply rapidly, and form tumors that damage surrounding tissues
How does a cell produce and transport the GLUT4 protein? produces it through the standard process of protein synthesis, and transports it by moving it from storage bubbles inside the cell to the outer cell membrane when insulin is present
What is the GLUT4 protein? MEMBRANE PROTEIN GLUT4 is a specialized protein that acts as a "glucose doorway," allowing sugar (glucose) to leave your bloodstream and enter your body's cells to be used for energy
role of vesicles in glut4 and diabetes hold the glut4 glusose transporter, in type 2 diabetes, it disrupts signaling pathway and prevents proper glucose uptake
role of cell membrane in glut4 and diabetes acts as the interface where GLUT4 controls blood sugar, and its breakdown is a driver of insulin resistance in diabetes
How do problems with glucose transport contribute to diabetes? break the body's normal ability to move sugar out of the bloodstream and into cells, driving high blood sugar and insulin dysfunction
short answer: Choose a lysosome, mitocondrion, cilia, or cell membrane and explain: its structure, its normal function, what happens if it malfunctions, a disease associated with the malfunction, possible symptoms, how the structure relates to function mitocondria disorder: structure is rod shaped, normal function is to make energy, if malfunctions, the cell doesn't have energy and can't function, mitocondrial disorder associated with malfunction, symptoms: weakness, seizures, vision/hearing issues
