Random movement of particles

23
Q

Rate/speed of diffusion depend on what ?

A

Size of molecule
- bigger is slower

Temperature

  • high is faster
  • low is slower
24
Q

Example of facilitated diffusion in a cell

A

Glucose moving into the cell

25
Permeable
Allow substances to pass through
26
Impermeable
Doesn't allow substances to pass through
27
Selectively permeable Semipermeable
Allows certain substances to pass through
28
Two main functions of the cell wall
Provide support and protection Give cell it's shape
29
``` Cell walls are porous enough to let ________ ________ ________ ________ ``` Pass through easily
Water Oxygen Carbon dioxide Small proteins
30
Prokaryotic cell wall is made of ? Plant cell wall is made of ?
Peptidoglycan Cellulose
31
Cell walls are located in | ________ , _________ , __________ , and _________ cells.
Plant cells Algae cells Fungi cells Prokaryotic cells
32
Hypertonic solution
Water goes out of the cell Plant - plasmolysis Animal - cell shrinks
33
Hypotonic solution
Water goes into the cell Plant - turgor pressure (cell swells) Animal - lysis (cell bursts)
34
Isotonic solution
Water goes in and out Cells are unchanged
35
Cholesterol
Stabilizes the membrane
36
Phospholipid
Phosphate Glycerol 2 fatty acid tails
37
Lipid bilayer
What forms when 2 phospholipids go in water.
38
Hydrophobic region
"Water fearing" Fatty acid tails (inside bilayer)
39
Hydrophilic region
"Water loving" Phosphohead (outside bilayer)
40
Ectraceplular side
Outside of cell
41
Cytoplasmic side
Inside of cell (cytoplasm)
42
Channel protein
A protein embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that acts as a channel or tunnel to let molecules in or out of the cell.
43
Cell surface marker
Carb chain that is used to is a cell (name tag)
44
Receptor protein
Protein on the outside of the cell membrane that recognizes or binds to specific molecules and causes reactions to occur inside of the cell (doorbell)
45
Enzymes
Protein on the inside of the cell that assists in chemical reactions.
46
Why is it called a fluid mosaic model ?
Fluid - the phospholipid having the consistency of vegetable oil Mosaic - proteins that are embedded within the phospholipid
47
What is water intoxication ?
Hyponatremia
48
How do bacteria and plant deal with osmotic pressure ?
They have a cell wall that prevents them from bursting in a hypotonic solution.
49
How do paramecium deal will osmotic pressure ?
Have a contractile vacuole that collects water flowing in and pumps it out to prevent bursting.
50
How do salt water fish deal with osmotic pressure ?
They pump salt out of their gills so that they don't dehydrate.
51
How do animal cells deal with osmotic pressure ?
They are bathed in blood and the kidneys keep blood isotonic by removing excess salt in water.
