Cells

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
phospholipids   make up the membrane and are 2 lipids and a phospate  
🗑
permeable   control/permission for crossing or not of the membrane  
🗑
diffussion   transfer of a substance from an abundant to a lessor abundancy. Requires no cell energy  
🗑
active transport   transfer of a substance from a lessor abundancy to an abundant. This requires cell energy.  
🗑
endocytosis/phagocytosis   process of bringing in a substance from outside of the cell  
🗑
exocytosis/secretion   process of transferring a substance out of the cell  
🗑
osmosis   when water moves from where it is abundant to less abundant  
🗑
aquaporin   protein that allows water to cross through the membrane even though it is not a lipid or lipid solute. It is a channel holding a sole purpose to allow water in  
🗑
hypertonic solution   more solute, less water  
🗑
hypotonic solution   less solute, more water  
🗑
isotonic solution   equal distribution of solutes and water  
🗑
Microfilaments/Microtubules   Non Membranous. Proteins in the shape of tube or thread inside of the cell that gives or maintains the cell structure so It does not collapse  
🗑
Mitochandria   double membrane. Produces energy for the cell. Kidney bean shape. Inner membrane fits only if it is folded because it is large  
🗑
lysosome   is a vesicle filled with digestive enzymes. Membrane bound package from the Golgi. DETOX THE PACKAGE FROM THE GOLGI  
🗑
Golgi aparatus   membrane bound. packages and refines substances from the ER. Packaged for secretion  
🗑
transport vesicle   membrane bound. Membrane pinched off of the ER to transport the protein inside of the membrane to its next stop  
🗑
Nucleus   holds all of the DNA/Chromatin/Chromosomes . this provides the information for what the cell needs to make and how much of it  
🗑
ribosomes   site of protein synthesis. assemble proteins/amino acids for the need of the cell. NON membranous  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   membrane bound series of channels served as a pathway for the substances to transfer through the cell from one side to another  
🗑
Smooth ER   No ribosomes are attached. Lipids and Fat molecules are assembled  
🗑
Rough ER   Protein production and placement pathway. Ribosomes surrounding the outer rim of the endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
cytoplasm   the region between plasma membrane and the nuclear membrane that has organelles and cytosol  
🗑
organelles   tiny structures inside the cell  
🗑
cell membrane   outer layer holding the cell together made of phospholipids and proteins  
🗑
prokaryotic   no nucleus, plant cell  
🗑
eukaryotic   nucleus, animal cell usually multi-cellular organisms  
🗑
organic molecules   carbon containing molecules  
🗑
glucose   simple sugar, monosaccharide c6h1206  
🗑
monomer   single building block unit  
🗑
polymer   big molecule monomers joined together  
🗑
protein   long chains of amino acids  
🗑
polypeptide   smaller chains of molecules  
🗑
biologic molecules   carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids  
🗑
hydrophilic   water loving-soluble in water  
🗑
hydrophobic   water fearing-insoluble in water  
🗑
What can dissolve in water?   Other polar hydrophilic molecules  
🗑
soluble   hydrophilic-substance can dissolve  
🗑
insoluble   hydrophobic-substance does not have ability to dissolve  
🗑
cohesion   attraction between 2 like things  
🗑
adhesion   attraction between 2 non like things  
🗑
capillary action   molecules stick to one another and pull each other along, example water molecules pulling each other along up a tree root  
🗑
polar   unequal distribution of charge  
🗑
water forms   solid liquid gas  
🗑
ICF   internal cellular fluid solution= solvent and solutes  
🗑
ECF   extra cellular fluid, external fluid surrounding the cell. solution=solvent and solutes  
🗑
bacteria   single celled organisms. can live on their own.  
🗑
cell   by definition the smallest living unit  
🗑
organism   a group of organ systems organized for an independent existence  
🗑
nucleic acids   macromolecule that carries genetic info of a cell and instructions for the cell function  
🗑
nucleotides   monomer of nucleic acids  
🗑
simple sugars   monosaccharrides  
🗑
disaccharides   2 monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction and form a covelant bond  
🗑
polysaccharide   long chain of monosaccharides linked by a covelant bond  
🗑
macromolecules   large molecule often made by polymerization of smaller molecules  
🗑
molecules   chemical structure having at least 2 atoms held together by a chemical bond  
🗑
organelles   membrane bound compartments or sac within the membrane  
🗑
atom   smallest component of an element  
🗑
covalent bonds   strong bond between 2 or more elements. forms when electrons are shared  
🗑
organic compounds   carbon containing molecules  
🗑
ionic bonds   chemical bond formed between ions of opposite charges  
🗑
hydrogen bonds   weak bonds between partially positive and partially negative elements or molecules  
🗑
cytosol   semi liquid, semi solid gel like consistency, movement allowing in which the organelles of the cell are suspended in  
🗑


   

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.
