Centrioles (centromere)

A

Animal cells ONLY

Pair organizes cell division

23
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Proteins in cytosol

24
Microtubules
Hollow proteins
25
Microfilaments
Solid proteins
26
Monera
- Prokaryotic - Uni Cell - Cell Wall (+) - Chloroplasts (-) - Centrioles (-)
27
Protista
- Eukaryotic - Uni Cell - Cell Wall (+/-) - Chloroplasts (+/-) - Centrioles (+/-)
28
Plantae
- Eukaryotic - Multi Cell - Cell Wall (+) - Chloroplasts (+) - Centrioles (-)
29
Fungus
- Eukaryotic - Multi Cell - Cell Wall (+) - Chloroplasts (-) - Centrioles (-)
30
Animalia
- Eukaryotic - Multi Cell - Cell Wall (-) - Chloroplasts (-) - Centrioles (+)
31
Cell wall
Rigid layer outside plasma membrane | Cellulose binds adjoining cells
32
Central vacuole
Huge reservoir in plants (store water)
33
Plastids
Specialized vesicles, including chloroplasts | Store chlorophyll for photosynthesis
34
Eukaryotic cells (Kingdoms)
In Protista: | Plants, Fungi, Animals
35
Eukaryotic cells
Many membrane, bound organelles
36
Prokaryotic cells
In bacteria 100 times smaller, more primitive No nucleus, few organelles, diff cell wall
37
Phospholipid bilayer
``` 2 layers of lipids embedded w/ proteins Both surfaces (phosphate) are water-soluble, interior (fatty acids) ```
38
Plasma membrane
1 bilayer
39
Nuclear envelope
2 bolsters
40
Plasma membrane is selectively permeable (ability to go through)
Whether a substance can pass through depends on its size + solubility
41
Lipid
Soluble substances, dissolve through lipids
42
Water
Soluble substances, not permeable unless small enough to fit through protein pores.
43
Passive transport
Moves from HIGH => LOW concentration | (Automatic) does not require energy
44
Simple diffusion
Random movement
45
Facilitated diffusion
Uses carrier molecules
46
Active transport
From LOW => HIGH concentration, used carrier molecules + energy
47
Endocytosis
Swallowed by plasma membrane
48
Phagocytosis
Solids
49
Pinocytosis
Fluids
50
Exocytosis
Expels or secretes vesicle
51
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through membrane, when water either enters or exits cell
52
Isotonic solution
Same concentration outside as inside cell | Dynamic equilibrium, so no net change
53
Hypotonic solution
Less chemical than inside cell More water outside cell Water moves into cell to divide it, so cell gains water, swells or bursts
54
Hypertonic solution
More chemical than inside cell Less water outside cell Water leaves cell to concentrate it, so cell loses water + shrinks
