(41 cards)
Membrane enclosing the nucleus
Nuclear envelope
DNA plus associated proteins
Chromatin
Condensed region where ribosomes are formed
Nucleolus
Metabolizes waste
Karla - Peroxisome
ER that is associated with ribosomes; makes secretory and membrane proteins
Rough
ER that makes lipids
Smooth
Form the mitotic spindle and maintain cell shape
Microtubules
Microtubule organizing center

Mitochondria
Why are cells small
To have great surface area to allow greater exchange of materials
Cell coat
Cell’s molecular fingerprint
Glycocalyx
Different types of movement across plasma membrane
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
- Osmosis
- Filtration
- Active transport
- Endocytosis
- Exocytosis
Two types of passive transport
Simple and Facilitated diffusion
Two types of facilitated diffusion
Specific transporter and Aquaporins
Does not need energy for molecules to pass through a membrane
Simple diffusion and passive transport
How water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane that separates the two solutions
Osmosis
Movement of fluid across a membrane as a result of pressure
Filtration
Uses ATP to move molecules against concentration gradient
Active transport
a process by which cells absorb external material by engulfing it with the cell membrane.
Endocytosis
Three types of endocytosis
Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Nonspecific uptake of solid material
Phagocytosis
Nonspecific uptake of small droplets of ECF
Pinocytosis
