Biology- chapter 3

Cells

What are the characteristics of cells? - Microscopic -all cells are covered by membrane(boundary of cells) -all cells are filled with cytoplasm(sticky fluid)
What are cells? - basic unit of life
How did Virchow contribute to Science? - concluded that all cells come from other cells
How did Hooke contribute to science? - first to ever identify cells, studied a piece of cork and named them off of that
How did Schwann contribute to science? -Studied animals and concluded that all living things are made of cells
How did Schleiden contribute to science? - first to ever note that plants are made of cells too
How did Leeuwenhoek contribute to science? - created lenses that were better for studying cells, improved cell lenses
What are the 3 principles of the cell theory? 1)All organisms are made up off cells 2)All existing cells are produced by other living cells 3)Cell is the most basic unit of life
What is the membrane and cytoplasm? membrane- boundary of cell cytoplasm- sticky fluid where all cell activity occurs
What are the 2 types of cells? Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
What are Prokaryotic cells? Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Even though they have no nucleus, they hold thEIR DNA in their cytoplasm and therefore are able to reproduce.
What are Eukaryotic cells? They have Nucleus , Membrane, cytoplasm and all of that good stuff.
What do Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells have in common? They both have Membrane and cytoplasm.
What are the cells 3 main regions of cells? 1. Nucleus 2. Cytoplasm 3. Plasma Membrane
What does the cytoskeleton help cells with? 1. Supports the shapes of cells 2. Provides strength 3. helps in cell movement 4. supports organelles 5. Helps in cell division
Whats the nucleus's function? 1. Stores DNA
what IS THE NUCLEUS envelope? Double membrane, Contains nucleus pores allowing exchange of materials with the rest of the cell
Cell membrane? Double phosophilipid ,has a hydropholic head and tail, contains protien, cholesterol, glycoprotien
what is chromatin? DNA and protien ccell, its there when the cell is not dividing, the are scattered throughout the nucleus, when the have divided they form CHROMOSONES
whats a NUCLEOLI? semi- periable
What migrates into cytoplasm through nuclear pores? RIBOSOMES
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM? - SMOOTH -ROUGH SMOOTH:FUNCTIONS IN LIPIDS, WORKS IN METOBOLISM, NO RIBOSOMES, REMOVES PESTACIDEDS AND DRUGS ROUGH:PROTIENS
RIBOSOMES? LINK AMINO ACIDS TO FORM PROTIENS
GOLGI APPARATUS? 1. MODIFIES AND PACKAGES PROTIEN
VESICLES? MEMBRANE BOUND SACS THAT HOLD MATERIALS TEMPORARILY
LYSOSOMES? ATTACH TO UNWANTED MATERIALS AND BLOW UP
Mitochondria? SUPPLY ATP(ATP:HIGHEST FORM OF ENERGY)FOR CELLS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGES SHAPE, "Powerhouse" of cell
VACUOLES? FLUID FILLED SACS THAT HOLD MATERIALS FOR CELLS
CENTRIOLES? HELPS DIVIDE DNA DURING CELL DIVISION, TUBE LIKE, FORM CILIA AND FLAGELLA
CELL MEMBRANE? SEPARATES CELL FORM EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
WHAT IS THE CELL MEMBRANE MADE OF? PHOSPHOLIPIDS
MOLECULES IN MEMBRANE INCLUDE? 1.PROTEIN 2. CHOLESTEROL 3.CARBOHYDRATE CHAIN
WHY IS THE CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABLE? VERY PICKY ONLY LETS SOME THINGS CROSS WHILE OTHERS CANNOT
HOW ARE CHEMICAL SIGNALS SENT THROUGH THE CELL MEMBRANE? RECEPTORS ARE PROTEINS THAT DETECT A SIGNAL MOLECULE
WHAT ARE THE TWO TYPES OF RECEPTORS? 1. INRACELLULAR RECEPTORS THAT ARE FOUND INSIDE A CELL 2. MEMBRANE RECEPTORS THAT ARE FOUND ALONG THE MEMBRANE(SECURITY GUARD OF THE CELL)
WHAT IS ACTIVE TRANSPORT? REQUIRES ENERGY, DOESNT LET THE CELL MOVE A SUBSTANCE AGAINST ITS CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
WHY DO CELLS USE ACTIVE TRANSPORT FOR? MAINTAINING HOMOSTASIS
ENDOCYTOSIS IS? PROCESS OF TAKING IN MATERIALS
EXOCYTOSIS IS? PROCESS OF EXPELLING MATERIALS FROM CELL
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROTEIN PUMPS AND PROTEIN CHANNELS? PROTEIN CHANNELS)NED ENERGY PROTEIN PUMPS)NO ENERGY IS NEEDED
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CONCENTRATION LEVELS? 1)DOWN CONCENTRATION GRADIENT 2)AGAINST CONCENTRATION GRADIENT)ENERGY IS INVOLVED
WHAT IS PASSIVE TRANSPORT? DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY AND INPUS INTO A CELL
WHAT ARE THE TWO TYPES OF PASSIVE TRANSPORT ? 1. DIFFUSION)MOVEMENT OF FLUID, GAS OR MOLECULES FROM HIGHER TO LOWER CONCENTRATION 2. OSMOSIS)DIFFUSION OF WATER MOLECULES ACROSS A SEMI PERIABLE MEMBRANE FROM HIGHER TO LOWER CONCENTRATION(ONLY WORKS ON WATER MOLECULES)
WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF SOLUTIONS? 1. ISOTONIC)SAME AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERS AND EXITS THE CELL 2. hYPERTONIC:MORE WATER EXITS THE CELL CAUSING IT TO SHRIVEL UP AND DIE 3. HYPOTONIC) MORE WATER ENTERS A CELL
WHATS FACILITATED DIFFUSION? DIFFUSION OF MOLECULES ACROSS THE MEMBRANE THROUGH TRANSPORT PROTIEN

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.
