Chapter 3 - Cells Flashcards
Cells
Building blocks of life
Cell membrane
Transport, protection, and selective premeable
Protein gate
Channel for nutrients, waste to enter or exit cell, support or maintain the nutrients
Matrix/Cytoplasm
Intracellular fluid
Hold nutrients and waste
Organelles
Little organs
Nucleus
Brain, control center, hold DNA
Chromatin
Thread like material that condensed into chromosomes during cell division
Mitochondria
Power house of the cell
Glucose breaks down to make ATP
Vacuole
Storage unit
Vesicles
Transport
Ribosomes
Protein factory
Endoplasmic reticulum
Net work of tubes
Endoplasmic reticulum smooth
Transport lipids
Endoplasmic reticulum rough
Studied with ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Golgi Apparatus
Shorts, packaged, ship (using vesicles)
Lysosomes
Garbage disposal
Makes enzymes to remove waste, nutrients
Cytoskeleton
Frame work
Micro tubes and microfilaments
Centrioles
In all divisions forms spindle fibers that attach to chromosomes
Cilia
Hair like projections
Do the wave movement
Flagellum
Tail like projection (movement of a sperm)
Transport Passive
Required no energy, molecules moving from area of HIGH concentration to LOW concentration until they reach equilibrium
Diffusion
Movement of molecules to differences of centenarians gradient.
Osmosis
Diffusion of water
Facilitated diffusion
