Cell Junctions: Animal Cells | Anchoring Junctions
acts as velcro
26
Cell Junctions: Animal Cells | Gap Junctions
when you want things to pass through
27
Enyzmes are ________
proteins
28
How do enzymes help with reactions?
they lower the activation energy required to start a reaction
29
Enzymes are made up of what?
substrate, active site, competitive inhibitor
30
what is a substrate?
substance that is acted upon by an enzyme
31
what is an active site?
where the substrate bonds and the reaction occures
32
competitive inhibitor
"fights" the substrate and "wins" and goes into the active site
33
Noncompetitive inhibitor
- goes in from the "other side" and changes the shape of the active site - more permanent that a competitive inhibitor
34
allosteric site
place where the noncompetitive inhibitor goes
35
enzymes need what to work?
coenzyme or cofactor
36
enzymes need what to work?
coenzyme or cofactor
37
Cell Theory
1: All living things are made up of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of life 3. All cells come from preexisting cells
38
Passive Transport goes from [ ] to [ ] concentration
high to low
39
Is ATP required in Passive Transport?
no
40
Examples of Passive Transport
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis
41
Examples of Active Transport
endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis
42
Active Transport goes from [ ] to [ ] concentration
low to high
43
Active Transport goes from [ ] to [ ] concentration
low to high
44
Definition of osmosis
diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane
45
Hypertonic
- lower concentration of water outside of the cell | - water moves out of the cell --> cell will shrivel up
46
Hypotonic
- higher concentration of water inside the cell - water movies into the cell--> cell will swell/burst - if in a plant cell: plasmolysis
47
Isotonic
- water concentration is the same inside and outside | - no net movement of water
48
Simple diffusion
the tendency of molecules of any substance to spread out into space
49
Facilitated diffusion
- uses transport proteins - requires no energy - objects move from high to low
50
Active Transport: Endocytosis
cells take in material by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane
51
Exocytosis
cell secrete macromolecules for fusion of vesicles
52
Types of endocytosis: | Phagocytosis
engulfs solid
53
Types of endocytosis: | Receptor mediated
- highly specific | - receptor proteins on the cell membrane pick up particular molecules from surrounding
54
Types of endocytosis: | Receptor mediated
- highly specific | - receptor proteins on the cell membrane pick up particular molecules from surrounding
55
ADP stands for _______ __ _________
adenine di phosphate
56
ADP stands for _______ __ _________
adenine di phosphate
57
how does ATP work?
the phosphate in ATP holds energy from burning glucose
58
ADP grabs ______ and becomes ATP
energy
59
when you burn sugar you make ___
ATP
60
endergonic reaction
gains energy
61
exergonic reaction
loses energy
62
Glycoproteins
compound where a portein and carbohydrate are bonded together
63
Glycolipid
lipid attached to short carbohydrate chain
64
cellular respiration is an __________ reaction
endergonic
65
photsynthesis is an __________ reaction
exergonic reaction
