Cells Flashcards
Water Properties
- Liquid over wide range of temps
- Cohesive and Adhesive
- Universal Solvent
- Has Low Viscosity
Endoplasmic Reticulum
rough ER(with ribosomes): assists in producing, processing and transporting proteins
Lysosomes
holds digestive enzymes
Mitochondria
site of cellular respiration, produces energy for plant cells’ activities, has 2 membranes and own DBA
Passive Transport
The exchange of substances without energy: diffusion osmosis & facilitated diffusion
Active Transport
The exchange of substances with energy: 1. transport proteins 2. uses energy 3. across the cell membrane 4. against concentration gradient
Cell Respiration
produce ATP Glucose + O2 –energy–> CO2 + H2O + 36 ATP
mitochondria
organelle that harvests energy to make ATP
hypertonic
lower concentration in the cell –> water diffuses out –> cell shrinks
hypotonic
higher concentration in the cell –> water diffuses in –> cell swells
isotonic
same concentration –> water diffuses in and out at same proportion
why must cells be small
because the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and the surface area to volume ratio must be large so that the exchange of nutrients and waste is faster and easier
cohesive
when a molecule of a certain element attracts (to) a molecule of the same element, requires the molecule to be polar
adhesive
when molecules of a different elements attract
concentration
amount per area
