Chapter Test 3.1

Cell Structure and Their Function Terms

TermAnswer
What are the 6 functions of a cell? 1. Basic unit of life. 2. Protection and support. 3. Movement. 4. Communication. 5. cell metabolism and energy release. 6. Inheritance.
Organelles Specialized part of a cell performing one or more specific functions.
Cell Membrane/ Plasma Membrane Outermost membrane of the cell, surrounding and binding the rest of the cell contents.
Extracellular substance Refers to substances outside of the cell.
Intracellular substance Refers to substances inside of the cell.
Mosaic Model Moving membrane.
Nucleus Cell organelle containing most of the genetic material of the cell, center of an atom consisting of protons and neutrons; collection of neuron cell bodies in the central nervous system.
Nucleolus Rough, dense, well defined nuclear bodies with no surrounding membrane, subunits of ribosomes are manufactured within the nucleous.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) A series of membranes that extends from the outer nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm with ribosomes attached to it.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER) A series of membranes that extends from the outer nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm without ribosomes attached to it.
Glogi Apparatus Consists of closely packed stacks of curved, membrane-bound sacs.
Lysosomes Membrane-bound vesicles formed from the Glogi apparatus.
Mitochondrion ATP production site within the cell
Microtubules Tube composed of tubulin microtubules help provide support to the cytoplasm of the cell and are components of certain cell organelles such as cilia and flagella
Cilia tiny hairs that help move the cell
Flagella found on sperm. for movement
Microvilli each of a large number of minute projections from the surface of some cells.
Ribosomes a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
Cytoskeleton keeps the cell in a shape and determines what can pass through
What are the four ways molecules can pass through the cell membrane? right through. through diffusion. bubbles
Solution a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).
Solutes the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.
Solvent the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.
Diffusion the intermingling of substances by the natural movement of their particles
Concentration gradient the measure of the concentration
Osmosis a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
Osmotic Pressure the pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis, often used to express the concentration of the solution.
Hypotonic swell more water out of the cell
Isotonic equal
Hypertonic shrink... more water in the cell
Facilitated Diffusion helped diffusion
Active Transport the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
Sodium Potassium Exchange Pump the part of the membrane that chooses what is taken out
Endocytosis the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole.
Exocytosis a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
Glycolysis the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
Aerobic Respiration relating to or denoting exercise that improves or is intended to improve the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.
Anaerobic Respiration relating to or denoting exercise that does not improve or is not intended to improve the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.

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.
