Term/Question
Definition/Answer
Homeostasis   ability to maintain a stable environment inside a cell/organism despite changes to the outside environment.  
🗑
Phospholipids   molecule that makes up the cell membrane consisting of a phosphorus head and two lipid tails. Be able to label a drawing.  
🗑
Lipid bilayer   basic make up of all cell membranes. Contains two layers of phospholipids with the polar heads facing into and out of the cell.  
🗑
Polar   a molecule with a partial charge. Hydrophilic. Cannot pass directly through lipid bilayers.  
🗑
Non-polar   molecules with no charge such as lipids. Hydrophobic. The lipid tails of the phospholipids are examples.  
🗑
What are the four membrane proteins   cell surface markers, enzymes, receptor proteins, transport proteins  
🗑
Cell Surface Markers   proteins in the cell membrane that has a carbohydrate chain attached to it. The carbohydrate cells identify what type of cell it is. Also called glycoproteins  
🗑
Receptor proteins   proteins responsible for sensing the environment. When a signal binds to a receptor protein it causes changes within the cell.  
🗑
Enzymes   speed up required chemical reactions in the cell by breaking down or putting together molecules.  
🗑
Transport proteins   help materials(polar, charged, too large) move into and out of the cell.  
🗑
What are the two types of carrier proteins   carrier and channel proteins  
🗑
What is the role of the cell membrane?   to maintain homeostasis by controlling the movement of material into and out of the cell  
🗑
What substance can pass directly through the lipid bilayer?   small non-polar substances ex. O2, CO2, Amino acids, small lipids  
🗑
Passive transport   any movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration that does not require the use of energy/ATP  
🗑
Equilibrium   when particles have an equal concentration inside and outside of a semi-permeable membrane  
🗑
Semi-permeable membrane   a membrane that allows only certain particles through  
🗑
Concentration gradient   difference in the concentration of molecules over a distance determines how particles move into and out of a cell  
🗑
Simple diffusion   type of passive transport in which particle move from high concentration to low concentration (down hill) with out using a transport protein or energy  
🗑
Facilitated diffusion   movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration (down hill) using a channel or a carrier protein. No energy is used.  
🗑
Channel protein   type of transport protein that allows polar molecules and ions to enter a cell down the conc. gradient  
🗑
Carrier proteins   transport proteins that change shape to move materials into and out of the cell may or may not require energy.  
🗑
Osmosis   the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from high concentration to low  
🗑
Hypertonic solution   more dissolved materials outside the cell, causes cell to shrink as water leaves the cell.  
🗑
Hypotonic solution   less dissolved materials outside the cell, causes cell to swell/burst as water moves into the cell by osmosis  
🗑
Isotonic solution   same amount of solutes inside and outside the cell, cell stays same shape  
🗑
Active transport   type of transport that moves material from areas of low concentration to high using energy/ATP.  
🗑
Contractile vacuole   type of organelle that uses active transport to pump out water in single celled creatures to get rid of excess water entering the cell by osmosis  
🗑
Membrane pump   carrier protein that pumps particle from areas of low conc. to high  
🗑
Sodium/Potassium pump   type of passive transport that pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell  
🗑
Endocytosis   process of moving materials into the cell by pinching the larger materials into a vesicle inside the cell.  
🗑
Exocytosis   process of removing wastes and cell product from the cell eliminate a vesicle out of the cell.  
🗑
Phagocytosis   process of cells devouring bacteria or damaged cells for the purpose of recycling their parts.  
🗑
Lysosomes   type of vesicle containing digestive enzymes that break down parts of the cell  
🗑
Vesicles   organelles used for the transportation and storage of cellular wastes and products  
🗑
What is the difference between passive and active transport?   passive transport goes from high conc to low and never requires energy. Active transport particles go from low concentration to high and requires energy.  
🗑
What are two examples of passive transport?   Water through a channel protein. Dye spreading out in water.  
🗑
What are two examples of active transport?   Sodium-Potassium pump. Contractile vacuoles ejecting water from Paramecium. Endo and Exocytosis also are examples.  
🗑
Signal molecule   molecule that binds to a receptor protein that causes changes within the cell  
🗑
Receptor protein   protein in the cell membrane that has a specific shape to receive a specific signal causing the cell to respond  
🗑
Secondary messenger   molecule that is released to cause changes to the cytoplasm and or the nucleus after receiving an outside signal  
🗑
Signal cell   sends message/signal  
🗑
Target cell   receives message/signal  
🗑
Binding site   location on receptor protein that receives a signal  
🗑
Environmental signal   signal from outside an organism that causes changes within. Ex. Light, CO2, Temperature  
🗑
What are the three type of changes a signal could cause?   change in permeability, enzyme activation, second messenger release  
🗑
homeostasis   ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes to the external environment  
🗑
unicellular   an organism in which each cell is independent and can survive with out the help of other cells  
🗑
multicellular   organisms that have specialized cells that help the organism survive. The cells on their own cannot survive.  
🗑
specialized cells   cells that perform a specific function, like muscle cells, nerve cells, etc.  
🗑
cellular junction   structure that holds cells together and or helps the cells to communicate  
🗑
levels of organization   cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism.  
🗑
solute   substance dissolved in solution  
🗑
solvent   substance solute is dissolved in often water  
🗑
aquaporin   a channel protein specific to water  
🗑


   

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.
