QuestionAnswer
What does a plasma membrane do? protects supports the cell
What is the structure of the plasma membrane? fluid mosaic composed of double lipid bylayer
plasma membrane heads are __ and point __ the aqueous fluid, while tails are ___ and point___ from aqueous fluid. *Hydrophilic/towards *Hydrophobic/away
membrane proteins are anchored by _____ in the cytoplasm Protein filaments
what are the three types of membrane proteins? transport, recognition, receptor
Transport protein: allows H20 soluble molecules through plasma membrane (salt, sugar, AA)
Receptor protein: have binding sites for chemicals that alter overall cell function
Recognition protein: have sugar groups on outside of cell, used by immune system to identify cells as self.
simple diffusion: passive
Osmosis: passive
Pinocytosis: active
facilitated diffusion: passive
Pinocytosis refers to engulfing ____ and phagocytosis engulfs _____ *liquid *solid
5 things all cells have in common: plasma membrane, DNA, cell cytoplasm, obtain energy/nutrients from enviroment, function limits size
Mitochondria: Produce energy
site of protein synthesis: Ribosome
synthesizes lipids: Smooth endoplasic reticulum
Synthesizes protein: rough endoplastic reticulum
Digests excessive membrane: Lysosome
3 differences in cilia from flagella shorter, more, move with perpendicular force
cilia and flagella both contain cytoskeletal elements made of ___ Microtubles
synthesizes microtubules: centrioles
plasma membrane: Protects and supports the cell
flagella : facilitates movement
Golgi apparatus: sorts, modifies, and packages
Nucleus: synthesizes ribosomes
The nucleus is made up of : DNA, RNA, PROTEIN
___ are the relaxed forms of DNA Chromatins
Nuclear envelope: (double membrane) Regulates movement of materials to/from the nucleus
Steroids are made of____ Lipids
Nuclear pore: Gate keeper
Intermediate filaments: maintain cell shape/Integrity
What is the nucleus made up of? plasma membrane, nuclear pores, chromatin, nucleus
osmosis: passive movement of water
Diffusion: High to low concentration
RBC's are still considered cells because they once had a _____ nucleus
____ and ___ are the effects of having no nucleus *can't divided *cant synthesize

What are the 2 types of transport across cell membranes? *Cell transport *energy requiring transport
Hypertonic: concentration outside the cell is greater than inside (cell shrinks)
Isotonic: same concentration in /out of the cell
Hypotonic: concentration outside the cell is lower (cell swells)
Simplest cell is a ______ Prokaryotic
a cells _____ differentiates us from bacteria membrane bound nucleus
Prokaryotic cells are found in what 2 groups of single celled organisms? bacteria and archaea
Eukaryotic cells are found in ___ and ___ *People and plants
Eukaryotic cells are ___ in size compared to Prokaryotic cells and also contain a ____ *larger *nucleus
Molecules are moved by ___ Vesicles
Difference in animal and plant cells: Cell wall, central vacule, chloroplast

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.
