Cell Structure and Function Flashcards
(42 cards)
Passive Transport
No energy (high—>low)
Diffusion
substance moves high to low
greater the concentration the faster it…
Diffuses
Diffusion occurs in membrane channels…
H2O, CO2, O2
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane (high—>low)
Filtration
movement of fluid through a partition containing small holes
Active Transport
Requires energy (ATP) input of energy (low—>high)
Vesicle Transport
Droplets bound by a membrane can be used to move materials in and out of a cell
Endocytosis
Phagocytosis & Pinocytosis
Phagocytosis
Cell eating- (movement of solid particles into the cell)
Pinocytosis
Cell drinking- (smaller vesicles form that contain liquid)
Exocytosis
Vesicles gather inside the cell, bind to the membrane and eliminate from the cell.
Plasma membrane
Outer boundary of cell - Regulates movement in and out
Nucleus
Contains DNA - Regulates cell activities
Nucleolus
Site of ribosome synthesis in nucleus
Ribosome
Site of protein synthesis
Rough ER
Protein synthesis
Smooth ER
Lipid synthesis
Golgi Apparatus
Modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles
Secretory Vesicle
Carries material produced in the cell to the plasma membrane where they are released
Lysosome
Contains enzymes that digest materials taken into the cell
Mitochondria
Sites of ATP synthesis
Cilia
Moves substances over the surface of cells
Flagella
move sperm cells
