24
nuclear envelope
double membrane between the nucleus and cytoplasm
25
nuclear pore
opening embedded in proteins that regulate passage in and out of nucleus
26
ribosomes
small complexes of RNA and protein that are the sites of protein sythesisis
27
peroxisome
vesicle that contains enzymes that carry out particular reactions like detoxifying potentially harmful molecules
28
plasma membrane
lipid bilayer where proteins are embedded
29
cell wall
rigid outer covering-made by carbohydrates helps maintain shape and prevent bursting from the water
30
chloroplast
uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose
31
cell wall is also in
prokaryotes and fungi
32
free ribosomes are used to
synthesize proteins for use INSIDE of cell
33
membrane-bound ribosomes are used for
export or secretion or for in lyosome
34
what is the role of the rough endoplasmic reticulum
it changes proteins that are shipped to other places in endomembrane system , cell surface, or outside of cell covered in ribosomes
35
what is the role of smooth
made lipids (fatty acids, phospholipids, and steroids detoxifies molecules like alcohol, drugs, and metabolism waste.
36
what are some modifications in the golgi complex
1) the correct folding and cuts of the protein 2) chemical modifications --- glycosylation (sugar tags) --------can create more folding 3) sorting and packaging for export
37
what are inner membrane systems in eukaryotes
functional areas that are specialized for specific tasks to increase efficiency. (different ph, smaller volumes etc)
38
why do cells use membranes to compartmentalize?
1) prevent reactants from contaminating the wanted reaction 2) increase bumping between substrates and enzymes 3) increase efficiency for enzymes (ph, temp, volume) ex: don't want to do hydrolysis in same place as dehydration
39
endosymbiosis
when one organism lives inside another
40
what is the endosymbiont theory
certain eukaryote organelles like mitochondria and chloroplast were originally free-living prokaryotes that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells
41
what is some evidence for endosymbiont theory?
1) both mitochondria and chloroplasts have circular DNA 2) both makes their own protein synthesizing organelles 3) closets homologs of chloroplasts are cyanobacteria ( both are dependent on hosts)-> key proteins imported from rest of cell
42
what does the cell membrane do?
control what comes in and out of cell (selectively permeable)
43
what is the structure of cell membrane
1) thin double layer of phospholipid molecules 2) proteins float in the lipid bilayer and control what passes 3) steroids maintain fluidity 3)glycoproteins and glycolipids extend out from proteins
44
what is the process occurred in the Golgi complex that placed glycosidic chains on proteins
glycosylation
45
what are the functions of the cell membrane
1) separate internal/external environments 2) regulate transport -> ions, gases, and nutrients enter -> wastes and cellar products exit 3)identification -> markers on it show what is unique to organism
46
what is diffusion
scattering or spreading of molecules or ions by random movement
47
what is the net movement of diffusion
high to low (like a bike on a hill)
48
what does diffusion go high to low
more particles will hit membrane more often so it moves high to low
49
what is the rate at which particles diffuse depends on
1) size of concentration gradient 2) size of particles diffusing 3) temp
50
what are the different types of transport
-> passive transport (no energy needed: move high to low) (import materials and export wastes) --> active transport (need energy: pull particles from low concentration to high concentration)
51
why are concentration gradients created?
the cell membrane is semi-permeable-> allow certain molecules to enter
52
what is membrane potential?
difference in electrical charge inside and outside the cell
53
what are the two types of embedded proteins in membrane
1) hydrophillic -> polar and charged (loves water) (tails) 2) hydrophobic-> nonpolar and not charged (don't like water) since water is polar and hyrdophllic is polar, hyrdophllic likes water because like dissolves like
54
what do hyrdophilic side changes to
they charge the channel so water(polar) can move thru
55
what are the types of passive transport
1) simple -> carries small NONPOLAR molecules easily (N2, O2, CO2) 2) facilitated diffusion -> needs the help of transport proteins like channel proteins and carrier proteins 3) osmosis-> diffusion of liquids thru semi- permeable membrane
56
what are aquaporins?
protein carriers for water
57
what is active transport
movement of molcules (ions or molculeswith energy, usually against a concentration gradient (low to high) (need ATP) (need proteins pumps)
58
what does active transport use
uses carrier proteins (proteins get energy from free energy ATP)
59
what does active transport need
protein pumps
60
what is an exmaple of a protein pump
sodium potassium pump_> 40% of all energy goes into powering pump
61
what can protein pumps can and cannot do?
they can bring small molecules in and out of the cell but they cannot carry large things
62
what types of active transport moves large things in and out of the cell (vesicular transport)
1) exocytosis -> moves out substances 2) endocytosis -> take in substances
63
what is vesicular transport
process in which materials are moved from different compartments of the cell and cell environment using vesicles
64
what is phagocytosis
large materials like bacteria
65
what is pinocytosis
small materials like macromolcules
66
what is receptor endocytosis
specific uptake of substances using specific cell surface receptors
67
what is cytosis
process of cells taking in or releasing substances
