Cellular Biology and Transport Mechanisms

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
Name the six levels of organisation   Chemical, cells, tissue, organs, organ system, organism  
🗑
What is the chemical Level of organisation   Units of matter that participate in chemical reactions. i.e atoms, DNA and molecules  
🗑
What is the cellular Level of organisation   Basic structural and functional unit of a living organism  
🗑
What is the organ Level of organisation   Different types of tissues joined together. Composed of two or more types of tissue. They have specific functions. Normally recognizable shape. e.g liver, lungs, heart etc  
🗑
What is the organ system Level of organisation   Composed of related organs with a common function, There are considered to be 11 systems within the body; Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive  
🗑
What is the tissuel Level of organisation   Groups of cells and the material that surround them. Working together to perform a particular function. There are four basic types of tissue • Epithelial • Connective • Muscular • Nervous  
🗑
What is the organism Level of organisation   All part of the body functioning together to constitute the total organism  
🗑
What is a Cat Ion?   A cation is a positively charged ION. examples include; Hydrogen, calcium, sodium and potassium  
🗑
What is an AnIon?   An anion is a negitivly charged ION. examples include Fluoride, chloride, iodide and hydroxide  
🗑
Functions of a LIPID?   A lipid is a fat which stores energy, makes membranes and can act as hormones,  
🗑
Enzymes Definition and Function   They are macromolecular biological catalysts. They increase reaction rates, Reduce activation energy of the reaction , Enzymes are unchanged after reaction and are under cellular control. They are highly specific  
🗑
The cell wall Bi layer   is a phospholipid bi layer that contains hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.  
🗑
The cell membrance   A selective barrier that regulates the flow of materials between the cells internal environment for external environments. Being selective it helps create and maintain the appropriate environment for normal cellular activities.  
🗑
What are the different types of transport mechanisms   Simple diffusion Osmosis Facilitated diffusion Active transport Endo/Exocytosis  
🗑
Diffusion   The movement of solute from a high concentration solution to a lower concentration solution.  
🗑
Osmosis   The movement of water from a high concentration solution to a lower concentration solution.  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   Where positively charged ions are unable to simply diffuse across the membrane, channel proteins (tunnel like structures in the membrane) and carrier protines (suck them in and spins and spits them back out ) can be used instead for them to travel through  
🗑
Active transport   dissolved molecules move across a cell membrane from low to high concentrations. Particles move against the concentration gradient and require an input of energy from the cell.  
🗑
endo and exo cytosis   vesicles carrying particles carry to cell membrane wall and pushes it out in exocytosos and vesicles form a bubble around particles and carry them into a cell for endocytosis  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   Covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs, and cavities, forms glands Squamous • Simple • Cuboidal • Columnar  
🗑
connective tissue   Connects, supports and protects body organs while distributing blood vessels to other tissues Fibrous • Loose, Dense, Elastic, Reticular • Special Connective • Cartilage, Bone, Blood, Adipose  
🗑
Muscle tissue   Contracts, makes body parts move, generates heat Skeletal muscle • Smooth muscle • Cardiac muscle  
🗑
Nervous tissue   Carries information to other parts of the body  
🗑
Blood Cells   – Red cells – erythrocytes – White cells – leucocytes – Platelets - thrombocytes  
🗑
Ribosomes are made from two sub units but where are they made?   In the neucleolus  
🗑
Sodium, Potassium and hydrogen existing in the body unbound to another element they are……….?   Cations  
🗑
The …………….. of the cell is the main site for production of ATP by the process of ……………..   Mitochondria and Cellular respiration  
🗑
The carbohydrate monosaccharides combine by a ………………….reaction to form ……………?   d  
🗑
Phospholipids have ……………head and……………tails allowing them the properties to form membranes   Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic  
🗑
Enzymes are easily ………………by changes of …………..and……………..   x  
🗑
Diffusion refers to the movement of molecules from ……………………. to……………………?   High to low  
🗑
A cell in a hypotonic solution would…………….?   expand  
🗑
a cell in a hypertonic solution would……………..?   go all spikey looking  
🗑
The movement of substances through the cell membrane along its concentration gradient by a carrier protein is an example of ……………..?   Facilitated Diffusion  
🗑
The movement of Na+/K+ using the Na+/K+ pump is a example ………………..transport.   Active Transport  
🗑
……………..Is a storage polysaccharide made from Alpha glucose monomers.   ?  
🗑


   

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.
