Cells-transport Flashcards
(35 cards)
Spontaneous generation
False belief
Living things arise from non-living thing material today
Was believed until 19th century
Cell Theory
- Every organism is made of one or more cells
- Cells are the smallest unit of life
- Cells only come from preexisting cells
Remember these names
Robert Hooke
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Pasteur’s Swan Neck Experiment
One flask exposed to air- organisms fall in and grow
Not exposed- nothing happens
(Proves part 3 of cell theory)
Eukaryotic
Cells have a nucleus
All multicellular organisms
Prokaryotic
Cells have no nucleus
All are unicellular
Organelles
Cell parts “organs”
Phospholipid
Hydrophilic head & hydrophobic head
Phospholipid bilayer
2 layer sheet of phospholipids
Hydrophilic outside
Hydrophobic inside (selectively permeable)
Fluid mosaic
Membrane structure
Membrane is a mosaic of diverse protein molecules in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids
Outside of membrane contains…
Carbohydrates
Connected to lipid- glycolipid
Protein- glycoproteins
Function as identification tags to distinguish outside cells
Protein- membrane functions
Enzymes for molecular assembly
Receptors
Transduction
Receptor- protein
receive chemical messages from other cells & binds and triggers reaction to a messenger to relay message to preform a certain task
Transduction- proteins
Move large substances through membrane into cell
Diffusion
Tendency for particles to move spontaneously from high to low concentration
Caused by: random motion thermal energy
Leads to equilibrium
Passive transport
Diffusion of molecules across a biological membrane without any energy
Concentration gradient
Difference in concentration across a space
Equilibrium
When concentration of particles becomes equal in all parts of the environment
Dynamic equilibrium
Overall conditions do not change
Individual parts keep moving
No net change
Diffusion circulatory
Gas exchange
Osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane
Hypertonic
Higher concentration on outside
Water moves out of the cell to obtain equilibrium
Sell shrivels up
Hypotonic
Lower concentration outside
Water goes into cell and swells
Pop- Lyse
Isotonic
Inside and outside have equal solution
No net movement
