Chapter 1: Cellular Function Flashcards
(52 cards)
Movement of solutes from a high to lower concentration
Diffusion
Simple or protein channel facilitated movement that does not use energy
Passive diffusion
Movement of solutes against a concentration gradient
Active diffusion
Occurs during anaerobic metabolization which means there is a lack of O2
Lactic acid
The movement of water or any solvent across the cell membrane from low solute concentration to high solute concentration
Osmosis
The pressure required to prevent the passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane
Osmotic pressure
Draws water in to the cell, protein mediated
Oncotic pressure
process of bring something into the call that is too large to enter
endocytosis
Cellular eating
Phagocytosis
Cellular drinking
Pinocytosis
Release of material from cell onto cell membrane
Exocytosis
Where do cells get their energy from?
Glucose and triglycerides
Transmitted genetic information
Genotype
Outward expression of a gene
Phenotype
What are the five parts of Mitosis?
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Phase of cellular growth, DNA duplication
Interphase
Phase of chromosome condensation
Prophase
Phase where chromosomes align
Metaphase
Phase where chromosomes move to opposite poles
Anaphase
Phase where new cell membranes are formed
Telophase
Type of cell that lines the outside and interior portions of the body
Epithelial cells
Purpose of the epithelial cells
protect, absorb, secrete, and excrete
The most common function is to support, attach and store
Connective tissue
3 types of connective tissue
Collagen, elastic, and recticular
