Osmosis & CH16 Flashcards
(47 cards)
Browning in motion is caused by
Heat energy
Osmosis
Diffusion of water
Six functions of a protein
- Protein channels for polar mol-transport channels
- antigens
- enzymes
- receptors for signal molecules
- proteins used to attach the PM to the cytoskeleton
- proteins used to attach the PM to the extra cellular matrix
Hypotonic
Less solute concentration
Isotonic
Equal solute concentration
Hypertonic
High solute concentration
Concentration gradient
The difference in concentration (of two places)
Lysis
Cell bursting
Cremation
Cell shrinking
What is the name of the theory that explains the structure and function of a plasma membrane
Fluid mosaic model
List the four basic parts of any living cell
- Plasma membrane
- ribosomes
- genetic material
- cytoplasm
Plasmolysis
When a cell wall loses pressure, the plasma membrane detaches from the cell wall. Think plasma lysis
Tonoplast
Membrane of central vacuole
Diffusion
The movement of a substance from and area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
Turgor pressure
The pressure of the water inside a cell that has a cell wall
Solute concentration
Fresh water
.1% and 99.9% h20
Solute concentration
Salt water
3.5% and 96.5% h20
Solute concentration
Cells
.9% and 99.1% h20
Law of segregation
Two alleles of each gene separate during anaphase one
Law of independent assortment
The manner of which the two alleles of each gene separate has no influence on the manner of which the two alleles of any other gene separates (applies only to linked genes)
Chromosomal mutation
Deletion
Segment missing
Chromosomal mutation
Duplication
Sections occur more than two times in a row
Chromosomal mutation
Inversion
Flipped around
Chromosomal mutation
Translocation
Can be moved to a different chromosome (for example two switched for reciprocal)
