Q

Fluid mosaic

A

Another name for the membrane.

Because the fluid molecules can move freely and the proteins are diverse

Q

Phospholipid

A

Each molecule has One phosphate group as its head and two fatty acids for tails
Arrange themselves into bilayer because heads prefer water and tails fear it

Q

Passive transport

A

Occurs when a substance moves across a membrane from high concentration to low.
Freely flow along the concentration gradient with no energy required from the cell

Q

Osmosis

A

Diffusion of water from high to low.

Sometimes it requires a protein channel to pass through the membrane

Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Substances that cannot cross a membrane on their own can cross through s specific transport protein in the membrane.

17
Q

Active transport

A

Moving a substance against its concentration gradient from less to higher concentration.
Requires energy from cell.
Usually driven by protein

18
Q

Types of active transport

A

Endocytosis, exocytosis

19
Q

Endocytosis

A

Transport of large substances into the cell. Ingested substances are packaged into vesicles that travels through cytoplasm to destination

20
Q

Exocytosis

A

Export of large quantities of material from the cell. Vesicles move to membrane to dump

21
Q

Nuclear envelope

A

Double membrane surrounding the nucleus. Controls passage of materials

22
Q

Nuclear pores

A

Allow certain molecules to pass through

23
Q

Chromatin

A

Fibers formed by DNA molecules wrapped around proteins

24
Q

Chromosome

A

Formed by chromatin fibers

25
Transcription
In protein production, A cell copies a gene's DNA sequence to. Complementary RNA molecule
26
Translation
In protein production, the info in RNA is used to manufacture a protein by joining a specific sequence of amino acids into a polypeptide chain
27
Prokaryotes
Single celled life Bacteria and archaea
28
End opossum reticulum (ER)
Network of passageways and sacs. Manufacture Smooth & rough
29
Smooth ER
Contains enzymes that produce lipids
30
Rough ER
Contains ribosomes that produce many kinds of proteins
31
Ribosomes
Sites of protein manufacture
32
Golgi apparatus
Receives from ribosomes, refines, and ships proteins
33
Lysosomes
Vesicles containing digestive enzymes that break down and recycle substances
34
Chloroplasts
Found in all plant cells only | Organelles of photosynthesis, convert light energy to food energy
35
Photosynthesis
Energy is captured and used to create molecules of sugar | Light energy to food energy
36
Mitochondria
Where the cell harvests energy from food (Enzymes perform cellular respiration)
37
Cellular respiration
Uses oxygen to harvest chemical energy from sugar. Stores as ATP and then uses it to power other stuff. CO2 and water are disposed of
38
Vacuoles
Storage sacks that can store food and various other substances
39
Flagellum
Extension from the cell that whips back and forth (like sperm)
40
Cilia
Shorter and move in back and forth motions
41
Cell wall
Only on plants, fungi, and some Protists. Provides protection helps maintain shape
42
Cytoskeleton
Network of protein fibers provides tracks along which vesicles can move; provides support
