Cells And Cell Processes Flashcards
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across semipermeable membrane
Hydrolysis
Breaking apart of peptide bond
Hypertonic
Concentration of solute is greater outside cell (water diffuses out)
Hypotonic
Concentration of solute greater inside cell (water diffuses in)
Plants prefer; called turgid. Allows for turgor pressure
Isotonic
Equal concentration of solute in and out of cell
Animals prefer this
Prokaryotes
No membrane bound organelles
No nucleus
Kingdoms Archaea and Eubacteria
Very small
Eukaryotes
Opposite of prokaryotes
Kingdoms Fungi, Plants, Animals, Protists
Much larger
Vacuole
Plants-used as aid in water distance
Animal- food storage
Lysosomes
Breaks down material in cell
Rough ER
Contains ribosomes to produce protein
Golgi apparatus
Packages materials for secretion
Plasma membrane
Double layer of phospholipids with embedded proteins
Bends at double bond site
Channel proteins
Provide passage for diffusion of charged particles (facilitated diffusion)
Aquaporins
Special channel for water
Gated channels
Open and close due to changes in voltage on membrane
