Q

Semi-permeable membrane

A

Allows some materials in

19
Q

Crossing the cell membrane

A

Fats and oils pass directly through

20
Q

Cell membrane channels

A
  • Protein channels allow substances in and out

- Specific channels allow specific material in and out

21
Q

Passive transport and Active transport

A

Passive transport: do not use energy

Active transport : use cells energy (ATP)

22
Q

Simple diffusion (passive transport)

A

Move from high to low

23
Q

Facilitated transport (passive transport)

A

Move from high to low through a channel

24
Q

Vesicular transport

A

Active process in which materials are moved in membrane

25
Osmosis
Diffusion of water
26
Exocytosis (vesicular transport)
Active movement of a substance out of a cell
27
Endocytosis (vesicular transport)
Active movement of a substance into a cell
28
Pinocytosis (endocytosis)
Cell drinking
29
Phagocytosis (endocytosis)
Cell eating
30
Carrier-mediated transport
Transport of ions or molecules across a cell membrane by special carrier proteins
31
Tissues
Group of cells that are similar in structure and function
32
Epithelial tissue
Covers things: small intestine lining, salivary gland inner membrane
33
Connective tissue
- Hold things together and supports body | - Cartilage, blood cells and compact bones
34
Muscular tissue
``` - Responds to stimuli contracting and lengthening 3 types - Skeletal: voluntary, striated - Cardiac: involuntary, striated - Involuntary: smooth, non-striated ```
35
Nervous tissue
- Nerve cells called neurons - Very long - Brain, spinal cords and nerves
36
Enzymes
Catabolic (break down)
37
Factors that affect enzymes
- The higher the rate of concentration of enzyme, the faster the rate of the chemical reaction - Increasing substrate concentration - Temperature - PH levels - Enzyme inhibitors
38
Enzymes models
1. Lock and key model | 2. Induced fit model
39
Catabolism
- Destructive | - Release energy
40
Cellular respiration
Glucose + Oxygen > Water + Carbon dioxide | C3H12O6 + 6O2 > 6H2O + 6CO2
41
Anabolism
- Construct of complex substances from simpler ones - Use energy - Makes protein
42
ATP
- Adenosine Trisphosphate - ATP > Adenosine diphosphate - Storing energy in cells
43
Aerobic
Oxygen
44
Anaerobic
No oxygen
