Q

What are the three components of the cell theory?

A
  1. All living things are composed of cells.
  2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
  3. New cells are produced from existing cells

Q

Explain electron microscopes

What can u see

A

The allow us to see structure and anatomy but not physiology (how they function) because in order to look at something the electrons kill it.
A stream of electrons produce a shadow image and allow us to see viruses and some molecules

Q

What is the nuclear membrane/envelope

A

The outside layer of the nucleus. Has nuclear pores that let things in and out of the nucleus.dna is here

22
Q

Where are ribosomes made

A

On the nucleolus

23
Q

Location of protein synthesis

A

Ribosomes

24
Q

What dissolves when the cel goes into reproduction

A

Nuclear membrane

25
Q

What is cytoplasm

A

Everything in the membrane not including the nucleus

26
Q

What does the endoplasmic reticulum do

A

Takes and distributes ribosomes

27
Q

Where are proteins assembled (protein synthesis occurs)

A

Inside ribosomes

28
Q

What is the endoplasmic reticulum

A

Membranes folded into each other that become pathways for the proteins to move

29
Q

Two types of endoplasmic reticulum

A

Smooth ER

Rough ER

30
Q

Why is rough er rough

A

Bc ribosomes are on the surface and make it bumpy

31
Q

What does smooth ER do

A

It helps to construct lipid based molecules that are used to make all membranes in a cell. Also where cells can get rid of pollutants and toxins

32
Q

What is it called when the liver gets replaced by fatty and scar tissue to combat the need of cells that the alcohol killed in the liver

A

Cirrhosis

33
Q

What does the Golgi apparatus do

A

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins

34
Q

What do lysosomes do

A

Break invaders, poison, and waste products down chemically

35
Q

What are vacuoles used for

A

They’re chambers used for storage in the cell

36
Q

The powerhouse of the cell and why

A

Mitochondria bc that’s where the cell is able to gather energy

37
Q

What are chloroplasts

A

Found only in plant cells. Have chlorophyll where photosynthesis occurs. Take solar energy and uses it to hook molecules together and form sugars

38
Q

What do cytoskeleton do and what cells are they found in

A

Eukaryotic cells, look like straws that give shape and structure to the cellade of microfilaments and microtubules

39
Q

Diffusion

A

When particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration

40
Q

Osmosis

A

Diffusion across a membrane all cells depend on it to bring moisture into them

41
Q

Three things all cells have in common

A

Cell membranes
Cytoplasm
DNA

42
Q

Cells that need more energy have more _____________

A

Mitochondria

43
Q

What do flagella do

A

Help cells move

44
Q

What are lipids and the two types of them

A

Groups of chemicals containing fats and oils

Phospholipids and glycolipids

45
Q

What are cell walls made of

A

Sugar plants make called cellulose

46
Q

Diffusion requires no

A

Energy

47
Q

What is equilibrium

A

When the concentration of the solute is the same throughout the system

48
Q

What is facilitated diffusion

A

Allows certain things to diffuse across the membrane with the help of proteins

49
Q

Crenation

A

When a cell shrinks to match the concentration

50
Q

What are white blood cells and the two groups

A

Leukocytes

Two groups: granulocytes which injest bacterial infections, lymphocytes which attack viruses

51
Q

What does endemic mean

A

Very common

52
Q

What are the lvls of organization in a multicellular organism

A

Individual cells- tissues-organs-organ systems
