Term | Description |
Cell Membrane function | Mechanical barrier, has chemical receptor sites. |
Cytosol | Gel like mass containing enzymes, ribosomes, transport vesicles and various filaments and microtubules. |
Endoplasmic reticulum | Forms new cell membrane and makes secretory products |
Ribosome | Makes protein |
Golgi complex | Modifies packages, and distributes proteins |
Lysosomes | Digestive system of cell that destroys unwanted material |
Peroxisomes | Carries out detoxification activites |
Mitochondria | Energy production center, produces chemical energy ATP |
Cilia | Motile extensions of a ell's surface |
Fagella | A whiplike locomotor organelle with a consistent structure(sperm) |
Microtubules | Cytoplasmic element that is related to movement of the structures within the cytoplasm. Causes flagella to move. |
Diffusion | Molecular movement from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Like people in an elevator |
Osmosis | Movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration of water molecules to an area of low concentration of water molecules. Like adding sand to water, pull more water to balance other moecules |
Carrier mediated transport | Riquire special carrier proteins in the membrane to transport the molecules into or out of the cell. Need ATP to open the 'lid'. |
Vesicular transport | Little bags of vesicles bind with or are dirived from the membrane to transport large molecules across the membrane. |
Glycolysis | Can occur withourt he presence of oxygen. Anaerobic energy production, produces 2 ATP molecules. |
Kreb's cycle | Requires oxygen to proceed - Aerobic energy production, produces 36 ATP molecules. |
