Cell Anatomy Flashcards
(19 cards)
Spermatozoa
Only Mammalian cell that is propelled by a single flagellum
Cell membrane
Controls what goes in and out of cell
Cytoplasm
Jelly like fluid that supports organelles
Nucleus
Control center of the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
Where materials are processed and moved around
Golgi apparatus
Packages and transmits cellular material
Which cells lose nuclear during maturation
Mammal erythrocytes
Diffusion
Movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Osmosis
Water moves from the dilute solution into the more concentrated solution
Tonicity
The concentration of particles in a fluid compared to the concentration of a particles in the cytosol of a cell
Hypertonic solution
Solution outside the cell is more concentrated than the cytosol
Hypotonic solution
Solution outside the cell is less concentrated than the cytoplasm
Isotonic solution
Solution outside the cell has the same concentration as the cytosol
( water has no net movement across the membrane)
Phagocytosis
“Cell eating“
Phagosome will fuse with lysosome and the hydrolytic enzymes digest the contents
Pinocytosis
“Cell drinking”
The cell membrane falls and create small pockets and captures the cellular fluid and dissolved substrates
Exocytosis
Movement of particles or fluids out of the cell
Positivity charged ions like Na+ are called?
Cations
Negativity charged ions such as SO are?
Anions
All ions are ?
Electrolytes
