25
substances move through water filled channels called aquaporins
channel mediated facilitated diffusion
26
in channel mediated diffusion when channels are always open
leakage channels
27
in channel mediated diffusion when channels are controlled by chemical or electrical signals
gated channels
28
the movement of solvent such as water across the membrane through aquaporins
osmosis
29
pressure exerted by water against the membrane
hydrostatic pressure
30
the tendency for water to move into the cell
osmotic pressure
31
the abilityof a solutionto change the shape or tone of the cell by altering the cells internal water volume
tonicity
32
the same osmolarity as inside the cell
isotonic solution
33
higher osmolarity outside the cell-causes shrinkage
hypertonic solution
34
low somarity outside the cell causing water to flow in
hypotonic solution
35
requires energy and carrier protines to bind with substances being moved against contration gradient
active transport
36
different types of active transport
primary and secondary
37
uses atp as energy-example sodium potasium pump moves substances against concentration gradient
primary active transport
38
uses energy supplied in primary transport moves substance against concentration gradient
secondary active transport
39
used in secondary transport- antiporters
move one substance into the cell while transporting another out
40
used in secondary transport-symporters
transports two different substances in the same direction
41
involves the transport of large particules, macromolecules and fluid across the membrane in sacs
vesicular transport
42
2 types of vesicular transport
endocytosis exocytosis
43
endocytosis
into the cell
44
excotytotis
move substances out of the cell
45
endocytosis 3 types
pinocytosis phagocytosis receptor mediated endocytosis
46
phagocytosis
cell eating
47
pinocytosis
cell drinking
48
receptor mediated endocytosis
substances bind to specific recptors
49
cytoplasm functions and structor
site of metabolic reactions provides a support for organelles-provides amedium for orangelles to interact with storage-contains nutrients and waste products
50
cytoplasm is composed of
inclusions-insoluble molecules cytosol organelles
51
inculsions of cytoplasm
glycogen granueles pigments lipids vacuoles
52
powerplant/power house-produces most of the cells energy molecules ATP through cellular respiration
mitochondra
53
Involved in protein and lipid synthesis-extensive system of interconnected tubes and parallel membranes
endoplasmic reticulum
54
rough er
involved in protine synthesis-rough because of ribosomes
55
smooth er
speeds up-catalyzes reactions lipid and steriod synthesis
56
found in cardiac and skelatal muscles
smooth er
57
golgi apparatus
priciple traffic director Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell
58
abundant in glands
golgi apparatus
59
sepherical membranous-Contain enzymes for digestion of cellular waste.-demolition crew
lysosomes
60
spherical membranous containing a powerful enzymes that oxides and detoxifies harmful substances
peroxisomes
61
membranous organelles
mitochondria er golgi apparatus peroxisomes lysosomes
62
non membranous organelles
ribosomes cytoskeleton centrioles
63
Sites of protein synthesis small granuel of ---
ribisomes
64
the cells skeleton acts as cells bones, muscles, and ligiments by supporting cellular structor 3 types of rods microfilimant, intermediate filimant, and microtubules
cytoskeleton
65
function in cell reporduction aid in the distribution of chromosomes-forms base of cilia flagelle
centroles
66
aid in movement of materials across the cell
cilia
67
aid in movement of the cell
flagella
68
increase surface area for absorption
microvilli
69
largest organelle
nucleus
70
redblood cells are
anucleus
71
skeletal muscle and bone cells are
multinucleus
72
houses dna-for protine synthesis controls cell growth and reproduction
nucleus
73
necleous
synthesis ribosomal rna
74
diviso=ion of a nucleous in which duplicated DNA is distributed to a new daughter cell. produces all cells beside gametes-sex cells
mitosis
75
special type of cell devision that happens in sex cells or gametes
meiosis
76
3 phases of the cell cycle
interphase mitiotic phase cytokineses
77
the cell grows and duplicates its dna
interphase
78
the division of the cytoplasm finishing the process
cytokinesis
79
the division phases of cell cycle
prophase metaphase anaphase telephase
80
chromatin shorten and thicken to become chrosomes centrioles move to opposite side of cell spindle fibers form nuclear membrane and nucleoulos no longer visable chromatin turns to chrosomes
prophase
81
centromeres seperate anbd spindle fibers shorten to pull chromosomes towards centrioles at opposite end of the cell.This is where the spindle fibers pull away and seperate the joined chromatides
anaphase
82
chrosomes align along the center of the cell thread like spindle fibers come out of centrioles and attach to to the centromere of the chromosome.
metaphase
83
chromosomes uncoil to become long filiments of chromatin the nuclear membrane and nucleous reappear, division of the cytoplasm daughter cells form and enter interphase
telephase
84
these cells do notdivide effenciently, damaged cells are replaced with scar tissue
skeletal, cardiac, and nerve cells
85
warehouse-used to store food enzymes and other materials
vacuoles
