Chapter 3 Flashcards
Osmosis
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Molecules that form the plasma membrane
Phospholipids , cholesterol , carbohydrates , proteins
Solution
A mixture of dissolved substances wishing a fluid
Solute
The substance to be dissolved
Solvent
The fluid within which a substance is dissolved
List of steps of translation in correct order
A ribosome binds to mRNA, a tRNA anticodon binds to a complementary mRNA codon, a new amino acid is linked to the growing peptide chain, the tRNA is released from the ribosome and is available to pick up another amino acid
Cytoplasm
The cellular material outside the nucleus but inside the membrane that contains the organelles and ctyosol
Cytoskeleton is composed of
Micro tubules, intermediate filaments, actin filaments
Interphase
Phase that the cycle runs from the end of the cytokinesis to the beginning of the next prophase
Two types of molecules that form the majority of the cell membrane
Phospholipids , proteins
tRNA
Carries amino acids to the surface of the ribosome
mRNA
A copy of the information stored in the DNA
rRNA
When combined with proteins forms ribosomes
Mitosis
The form of a cell division in which a cell divides once and produces two genetically identical daughter cells
