Question
Answer
Key Points of the Cell Theory   1.All organisms are composed of cells 2. 3. All cells come from preexisting cells  
🗑
Explain why cells must be small.   Small cells are likely to have an adequate surface area for exchanging wastes for nutrients. B. Cells that specialize in absorption have modifications that greatly increase the surface area per volume of the cell.  
🗑
prokaryotic   Lack a membrane-bounded nucleus  
🗑
List every component of a prokaryotic cell and explain the function of each component.   Cell Envelopes plasma membrane cell wall glycocaly Capsule Cytoplasm Nucleoid Plasmid Inclusion Bodies Cyanobacteria Ribosomes Appendages Flagella Fimbriae Sex Pili  
🗑
eukaryotic   Contain membrane-bounded nucleus. Contain plasma membrane.  
🗑
Describe the structure and function of each organelle in a eukaryotic cell   Compartmentalization:Allows eukaryotic cells to be larger than prokaryotic cells Isolates reactions from others B. Two classes: 1. Endomembrane system: Organelles that communicate with one another Energy related organelles Mitochondria & chloroplast  
🗑
Describe how ribosomes are notably different in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells   Prokaryotic cells: protein synthesis Eukaryotic cells:Composed of rRNA Consists of a large subunit and a small subunit Subunits made in nucleolus  
🗑
endomembrane system   Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Lysosomes  
🗑
Energy-Related Organelles   Chloroplasts Mitochondria  
🗑
Describe the relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus   Both form vesicles that transport materials to the Golgi apparatus for modifications and packaging  
🗑
vesicles   Peroxisomes are membrane-bounded vesicles that enclose enzymes.  
🗑
vacuoles   Membranous sacs that are larger than vesicles.  
🗑
Describe the role of a central vacuole in a plant   functions in storage of nutrients and waste products; provides support and is a reservoir for water  
🗑
mitochondria   involved in cellular respiration Produce most of ATP utilized by the cell Cristae – Folds of inner membrane that encloses matrix. Matrix - Enzymes that break down nutrient molecules.  
🗑
List the 6 components of the cytoskeleton and the overall function of the cytoskeleton.   Actin Filaments Intermediate Filaments Microtubules Centrioles Basal body Cilia and flagella  
🗑
actin filaments   Pseudopods b. Motor molecules  
🗑
Intermediate Filaments   Supports nuclear envelope  
🗑
Microtubules   Interact with proteins to cause movement of organelles b. Centrosome  
🗑
function and movement of cilia and flagella   are hairlike projections with a 9 + 2 pattern of microtubules that aid in cell movement. In eukaryotes, cilia are much shorter than flagella  
🗑
basal bodies   organelle that is found at base of cilia and flagella and may direct organization of microtubules  
🗑
phospholipid bilayer   1.External surface and cytoplasmic surface lined with hydrophilic polar phosphate heads 2. Sandwiched in between are Nonpolar, hydrophobic, fatty-acid tails  
🗑
Describe the structure of cholesterol in the plasma membrane and explain its importance to  the plasma membrane.   1. Modifies fluidity of membrane a stiffens membrane at higher temperatures b. at lower temperatures, helps prevent membrane from freezing by not allowing phospholipid tails to come in contact with each other 2. Lipid structure  
🗑
glycolipid   carbohydrate chain attached to lipid  
🗑
Glycoprotein   carbohydrate chain attached to protein  
🗑
Describe the reason each cell has a unique “fingerprint”.   Accounts for tissue rejection and blood groups  
🗑
peripheral protein   found on the inner membrane surface  
🗑
integral protein   embedded in the membrane  
🗑
Describe the functions of the six types of integral proteins of the plasma membrane   Channel Proteins Carrier Proteins Cell Recognition Proteins Receptor Proteins Enzymatic Proteins Junction Proteins  
🗑
Channel Proteins   Involved in passage of molecules through membrane.  
🗑
Carrier Proteins   Combine with substance to aid in passage through membrane.  
🗑
Cell Recognition Proteins   Help body recognize foreign substances.  
🗑
Enzymatic Proteins   Carry out metabolic reactions directly  
🗑
differentially (selectively) permeable   Only certain substances can move across the membrane and others cannot  
🗑
factors that determine whether a  molecule can pass through the plasma membrane of a cell   Size, shape, charge, lipid solubility, temperature, pressure, electrical currents  
🗑
concentration  gradient   Particles move from area of high concentration to an area of low concentration  
🗑
solution   contains a solute (solid) and a solvent (liquid)  
🗑
solute   solid  
🗑
solvent   liquid  
🗑
Describe the two methods of passive transport of materials across a membrane.   Diffusion - Movement of molecules from a higher to a lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Facilitated Transport-Allows rapid passage of solutes  
🗑
Osmosis   Diffusion of water across a differentially (selectively) permeable membrane due to concentration differences.  
🗑
Osmotic pressure   is the pressure that develops due to osmosis  
🗑
Tonicity   refers to the strength of a solution  
🗑
Isotonic Solution   Solute and water concentrations both inside and outside the membrane are equal.  
🗑
Hypotonic Solution   Solution with a lower concentration of solute than the solution on the other side of the membrane  
🗑
Cytolysis   disrupted cells which may burst; animal cells only  
🗑
Turgor pressure   plant cells do not burst due to cell wall; provides water to allow plant to remain erect  
🗑
Hypertonic Solution   Solution with a higher concentration of solute than the solution on the other side of the membrane.  
🗑
Crenation   animal cells shrivel  
🗑
Plasmolysis   plant cells the cytoplasm shrinks and the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall  
🗑
Describe the two methods of active transport of materials across a membrane   Move against concentration gradient (toward high concentration) B. Combining with carrier proteins Bulk transport- macromolecules transported into or out of the cell inside vesicles  
🗑
exocytosis   Vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and secrete contents out  
🗑
Endocytosis   Cells engulf substances into pouch which becomes a vesicle  
🗑
Phagocytosis   Large, solid material into vesicle  
🗑
Pinocytosis   Liquid or small, solid particles go into vesicle

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
