CELLS! (#1)
The POWERHOUSE of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The energy molecule produced by the mitochondria.
What is ATP?
What is the plasma (cell) membrane?
The transport protein used by water molecules.
What are aquaporins?
Something that a eukaryotic cell has that a prokaryotic cell does not.
What is any membrane bound organelle (mitochondria, nucleus, Golgi, E.R, etc) or linear DNA?
The difference between bound and free ribosomes.
What is bound ribosomes are on the Rough E.R and free ribosomes are free floating in the cytosol?
The determining factor when deciding which cell is most efficient at receiving nutrients and disposing of waste.
What is a large surface area to volume ratio?
TWO differences between passive and active transport.
No net movement of water
What is an isotonic solution?
The type of cell transport that occurs when a vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases molecules.
What is exocytosis?
The delivery system of eukaryotic cells that modifies and packages a variety of molecules.
What is the Golgi?
The component of the cell membrane that keeps it stable in both cold and hot environmental condition.
What is cholesterol?
Molecules that are ____ and ____ can use simple diffusion to enter and exit the cell.
What is small and nonpolar?
The ionization constant of glucose.
What is 1?
The theory that discusses how the mitochondria and chloroplast used to be their own prokaryotic cells.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
An organelle that is filled with hydrolytic enzymes.
What is the lysosome?
The biomolecule that is used as an ID badge on the cell membrane.
What are carbohydrates?
The difference between a channel protein, a carrier protein and a protein pump
What is channel proteins are open tunnels, carrier proteins go through a conformational change (change in shape) and protein pumps require energy?
A cell is placed in an environment that has a low concentration of solute compared to the cell. (What is happening to the cell?)
What is water will enter the cell and the cell will swell? (Hypotonic solution)
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
The reason that eukaryotic cells are able to be larger than prokaryotic cells. (DETAILED ANSWER)
What is membrane bound organelles allow for compartmentalization and an increase to internal surface area?
TWO pieces of evidence that support the theory that states that the mitochondria and chloroplast used to be their own prokaryotic cells.
What is they have double membranes, they have circular DNA, they have their own ribosomes, they divide independently of the host cell?
The reason why charged molecules cannot enter the cell membrane using simple diffusion. (DETAILED ANSWER)
What is the lipid tails (hydrophobic) of the cell membrane do not interact favorably with charged molecules (hydrophilic) and prevent them from entering?
A cell with a water potential of -8 bars is placed in a solution with water potential of -5 bars. (What is happening to the cell?)
What is water will enter the cell and the cell will swell? (Hypotonic solution)
The special type of protein that moves hydrogen ions across the cell membrane.
What is a proton pump?
