Q

Diffusion (More notes)

A

It is the most common form of passive transport in which a substance of higher concentration travels to an area of lesser concentration.
-Ex: Adding a packet of powdered drink mix to a pitcher of water, or the smell of a classmate’s perfume filling a room.

Q

Diffusion is necessary to:

A

-Move oxygen from the lungs to the blood stream
-Move carbon dioxide from the blood stream to the lungs and eventually to outside air

Q

Osmosis (More Notes)

A

It is another form of passive transport in which water travels through a selectively permeable when a concentration gradient is present.
-Water tends to travel from area of low solute concentration to area of high solute concentration until solute concentrations are equal.
-Water moves with its gradient

Q

Active Transport pumps

A

-Require the addition of energy in the form of ATP to move a substance
-The cell is trying to move a substance into an area that already has a high concentration of the substance
-A protein carrier is used to move the substance up the concentration gradient

25
Two types of Active Transport
Endocytosis and Exocytosis
26
Endocytosis
Intake of liquid and solid particles too large to cross the cell membrane. (Cell membrane will surround a small portion of the substance creating a vesicle)
27
Exocytosis
Transport out of the cell (Vesicle is moved towards the cell membrane to excel a substance)
28
Cytoplasm
It is the liquid that fills inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules.
29
Why do cells require cytoplasm?
Cells require cytoplasm for their internal environment in order for the parts of the cell, known as organelles, to thrive and function
30
Nucleus
-Surround by double-walled nuclear membrane -Contains all of the cell's chromosomes
31
Nucleolus
-It is a spherical structure found in the cell's nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell's ribosomes. -Location where ribosomal RNA genes are transcribed.
32
DNA
Carrier of genetic information for the development and function of an organism.
33
RNA
Similar to DNA, however most often a single strand
34
mRNA
Protein synthesis
35
tRNA
serves as a link (or adaptor) between the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the growing chain of amino acids that make up a protein. Each time an amino acid is added to the chain, a specific tRNA pairs with its complementary sequence on the mRNA molecule, ensuring that the appropriate amino acid is inserted into the protein being synthesized.
36
rRNA
Structural components of the ribosome.
37
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Overview: Series of channels formed from folded membranes with two subsets.
38
Rough ER
-Lined with ribosomes -Responsible for synthesis of protein -Sent to Golgi apparatus after processing
39
Smooth ER
-No Ribosomes Present -Produces lipids and steroids
40
Ribosomes
-Made of RNA and produce enzymes and proteins for cell repair and reproduction
41
Centrosomes
-It contains Centrioles
42
Centrioles
-Involved in cell division -Creates that spindles used in cell division
43
Mitochondria
-Producer of ATP
44
Cellular Respiration Overview
-Aerobic Respiration It has 4 stages: -Glycolysis -A transition creation that forms acetyl coenzyme A -The critic acid (Krebs) cycle, and an electron transport chain -Chemiosmosis
45
Cellular Respiration: Glycolysis
-partial breakdown of a six-carbon glucose molecule into two, three-carbon molecules of pyruvate, 2NADH +2H+, and 2 net ATP -Does not require oxygen
46
Cellular Respiration: Transition Reaction
-In eukaryotic cells the pyruvates must first enter the mitochondria because the transition reaction and the citric acid cycle take place in the matrix of the mitochondria
47
Cellular Respiration: Krebs Cycle
-Completes the oxidation of glucose by taking the pyruvates from glycolysis, by way of the transition reaction, and completely breaking them down into CO2 molecules, H2O molecules, and generating additional ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. -Takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria
48
Anaerobic Respiration
-Breakdown sugars and produce energy in without the presence of oxygen -Takes place in the Cytoplasm
49
Aerobic Respiration
-It is the aerobic catabolism of nutrients to carbon dioxide, water, and energy, and involves an electron transport system in which molecular oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
50
Golgi Apparatus
Prepare and transport proteins -Receives proteins from the ER> surrounds with a vesicle and secretes (exocytosis)
51
Lysosomes
-Garbage Disposal of the cell -Cleans up intracellular debris and waste through hydrolytic enzymes
52
What does the ribosome read?
-ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.
53
What does the ribosome act as?
-It acts as a docking station for the transfer RNA that contains the amino acid that will then become part of the growing polypeptide chain, which eventually becomes the protein
54
What kind of cells will adapt to have more mitochondria to meet energy demands?
-Cells that are more active will adapt to have more mitochondria to meet energy demands
55
What is produced through cellular respiration?
-ATP
56
what does the Transition reaction connect to?
-Transition reaction connects glycolysis to the citric acid (Krebs) cycle
57
Where does Glycolysis occur?
-It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell
58
What kind of cells will contain an increased amount of Golgi apparatus?
-Cells with high levels of secretion will contain an increased amount of Golgi apparatus.
