Chapter 3 Cells Flashcards
(38 cards)
Psalm 139:13-14: For you created my inmost being; you ________ me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and ______________________ made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
knit/wonderfully
A thin covering that forms the outer boundary of a cell
hydrophobic
The ends of phospholipids that like to be in water (points toward the outside of the cell)
hydrophilic
The cell membrane is a lipid _________________ composed of two layers of phosopholipids.
bilayer
The cell membrane is often described by the __________ _______________ model where the lipid molecules form a flexible (fluid) film in which proteins are embedded, making different patterns (mosaics).
fluid mosaic
T/F: Cell membranes are selectively permeable membranes: they allow any molecule to pass through.
False: Cell membranes are selectively permeable membranes: they allow ONLY CERTAIN molecules to pass through.
The movement through the cell membrane is called…..?
transport
Transport can happen in what 2 ways?
passive transport
active transport
The movement of molecules from a place where there are many molecules (a high concentration) to a place where there are few molecules (a low concentration).
diffusion
Give an example of diffusion in the air
molecules leaving a perfume bottle & spreading through the air
Give an example of diffusion in the air
molecules leaving a perfume bottle & spreading through the air
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis
During active transport, the direction of movement is from __________ concentration to ______________concentration.
low/high
All cells have an outermost boundary called the ________ ____________________.
cell membrane
Inside the cell membrane is the _____________ (a thick fluid that contains many small ________________).
cytoplasm/organelles
What functions in breaking down sugar molecules to release energy for the cell?
mitochondria
A maze of passageways formed by a folded membrane that runs through the cytoplasm.
endoplasmic reticulum
Functions as the cell delivery system (allows substances to travel from one part of the cell to another through canals)
endoplasmic reticululm
Tiny organelles that direct the assembling of protein
ribosomes
T/F: Ribosomes float through the cytoplasm or are attached to membranes.
True
What collects chemicals from the cytoplasm, packages them, moves them to the edges, then pinches them off to release them from the cell?
Gogli apparatus
What are organelles that look like bubbles & serve as storage containers in the cytoplasm of some cells?
vacuoles
Vacuoles full of water have _____________ turgor pressure making the leaves crisp.
high
Vacuoles that lack water result in ____________ leaves.
wilted
