Chapter 3 (Cell)

QuestionAnswer
Cell Membrane Protect the cell
Nucleus Control Center and contains the DNA
Nucleoli Control Center of the Nucleus
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum ER with ribosomes attached to it
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum ER for lipid synthesis in cells
Golgi Apparatus Collects, modifies, packages, and distributes protein and lipids manufactured by the ER
Lysosomes Contain a variety of enzymes that function as intracellular digestive systems
Mitochondria/on Create ATP (energy) to the cell, by carrying oxygen
Microtubules Help to support the cytoplasm of cells, assist the process of cell division, and form essential components of certain organelles such as cilia and flagela
Cilia Present in cells that line the respiratory tract, moving mucus
Flagella Propel the sperm cell
Microvilli Work to increase the surface area of those cells
Ribosomes where the proteins are produced
Cytoskeleton proteins that support the cell
Organelles Like a little organ in the cell, each one with a specific function
What is the 6 functions of the cell? Basic unit of life; Protection and support; Movement; Communication (Message); Cell Metabolism and energy release; Inheritance
What are the four ways molecules can pass through the cell membrane? 1. Directly through 2. Membrane channels 3. Carrier Molecules 4. Vesicles
Solution Solid, liquid, or gas consisted of one or more substances
Solutes Substance that is dissolved
Solvent The substance that does the dissolve
Diffusion Is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to a area of lower concentration
Concentration gradient Is a measure of the difference in the concentration of solute in a solvent
Osmosis Is the process by which water molecules diffuse across a cell membrane
Osmotic Pressure Is the pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across the cell membrane
Hypotonic When the molecules come from outside the cell to inside (have less molecules inside)
Isotonic When outside and inside the cell have the same "quantity" of molecules
Hypertonic When the molecules come from inside the cell to outside (have more molecules inside)
Facilitated Diffusion When larger molecules use Carrier Protein to help them pass through the cell membrane
Active Transport It a type of transport, but requires energy
Sodium potassium exchange pump • 3 molecules of Sodium go in • Requires energy (ATP → ADP) • Go out (the sodium) • 2 molecules of Potassium go in • Go inside the cell (Potassium)
Endocytosis When cells take in large particles/fluid
Exocytosis The endocytosis process, but reverse, when cell "throw away" this large particles

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.
