25
Ribosome
assembles proteins
26
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER: processes proteins Smooth ER: lipid metabolism
27
Vacuole
stores salts, minerals, pigments, and proteins within the cell
28
Mitosis
equal division of the cell's content into two daughter cells that have identical genomes.
29
Meiosis
a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells for sex cells
30
Steps of mitosis
prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, and cytokinesis
31
Steps of meiosis
Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II
32
What does 'Soma' mean
body
33
what are somatic structures
everything in plants not apart of sex organs
34
What is a pistil
female sex organ
35
what is a stamen
male sex organ
36
what creatures have 46 chromosomes
humans
37
Which cell reproduction cycle has numbers after it
meiosis
38
do some plants do asexual reproduction
yes
39
How do plant cells differ from animal cells
centrioles, no vacuole in higher animal cells. cell wall, chloroplast, storage vacuole in plants
40
what is cytoplasm and cytosol
cytosol: aqueous solution, water ions, small molecules cytoplasm: cytosol plus organelles
41
what is a phospholipid
a molecule that has a phosphate on one end and a lipid on the other end
42
what elements are in a phosphate group
phospholipids and oxygen
43
what is a lipid
fat. an organic molecules composed of carbon and hydrogen in chains or rings. it is hydrophobic.
44
What types of molecules are found in plasma membranes
protein and lipids
45
what kind of molecule is protein composed of
amino acids
46
what is the function of the plasma membrane
to separate the aqueous environment of the cell inside to the outside enviornment
47
would it be possible for polar molecules or ions to move through the phospholipid bilayer
difficult. polar molecules carry a charge (positive on one side negative on the other). phospholipids are also polar
48
hypertonic
A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water than body fluids. When placed in a hypertonic solution, cells will shrivel and die due to a process called plasmolysis.
49
hypotonic
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solute than another solution, meaning water will flow out of it. Hypotonic solutions can be used to dilute the extracellular space and replenish the inside of cells.
50
isotonic
A solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as body fluids. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water.
51
Passive transport
expends no ATP
52
Active transport
expends ATP
53
what keeps plant cell from bursting in hypotonic solution
cell wall
54
how does being in a hypertonic solution affect a plant
it will wilt
55
what is turgor pressure in a plant cell
the pressure of the cytoplasm inside the cell membrane as it pushes against the cell wall
56
what happens to the motion of molecules after equilibrium is reached
they continue to move but the net volume does not chage
57
how does passive transport differ from active transport
no energy of ATP needed. passive transport can only act until equilibrium reached
58
contrast facilitated diffusion with active transport
although both require a cell membrane protein, active transport can move molecules from low concentration to high concentration using APT
59
are movements through cell membrane active or passive
passive
60
how can a small particle or liquid droplet enter a cell
either directly thought the cell membrane (pores) or with aid from cell membrane protein (either passively or activley)
61
in plants large starch molecules are synthesized from ---
sugar molecules inside colorless plastids called amyloplast
62
How does a large particle enter the cell
phagocytosis (engulfing)
63
what does chloroplast capture
light energy
64
what contains green pigment (chlorophyll)
chloroplasts
65
chromoplasts contain what pigments
red, yellow, orange
66
why might some animal cells have colorless plastids
specialized storage of molecules that have different functions
67
what plastid is likely to be found in flowers
chromoplast
68
what plastid is likely to be found in leaves
chloroplasts
69
what plastid is likely to be found in roots
leukoplast or amyloplast
70
what part of a lipid is hydrophobic and hydrophillic
head: hydrophilic tail: hydrophobic
71
the notches in plasma membrane represent what
carrier protein
72
sequence 1-2-3 shows how a carrier protein aids what
movement of molecule in a cell
73
the process of molecules moving through the plasma membrane requires the cell to do what
expend energy (use ATP)
74
What is happening in Interphase 1(meiosis)
Dna copied
75
What is happening in Prophase 1(meiosis)
chromosomes pair up
76
What is happening in Metaphase 1(meiosis)
chromosomes line up at equator
77
What is happening in Anaphase 1(meiosis)
homologous chromosomes pull apart
78
What is happening in Telophase 1/Cytokinesis(meiosis)
cell pinches in middle
79
What is happening in Prophase 2(meiosis)
Chromosomes condense
80
What is happening in Metaphase 2(meiosis)
chromosomes line up at equator
81
What is happening in Anaphase 2(meiosis)
sister chromatids pull apart
82
What is happening in Telophase 2/cytokinesis(meiosis)
cell pinches in middle 4 haploid cells
83
What is happening in Interphase (mitosis)
(I)nteresting things happen -cells prepare to divide -genetic material doubles
84
What is happening in prophase (mitosis)
chromosomes (P)air up -chromosomes thicken and shorten, become visible, 2 chromatids are joined by a centromere -centrioles move to opposite side of the nucleus - nucleolus disappears -nuclear membrane disintegrates
85
What is happening in Metaphase (mitosis)
chromosomes meet in the (M)iddle -chromosomes arrange at the equator of the cell -become attached to spindle fibers by centromeres -homologous chromosomes do not associate
86
What is happening in Anaphase (mitosis)
chromosomes get pulled (A)part -spindle fibres contract pulling chromatids to the opposite poles of the cell
87
What is happening in Telophase (mitosis)
Now there are (T)wo -chromosomes uncoil -spindle fibres disintegrate -centrioles replicate -nuclear membrane forms -cell divides
