Cell Theory has ____ how many main postulates.

2, 3, 4, 5

3

100

specialized structures within the cell that work together to help the cell function

Think of them as “mini organs” within the cell working together for one main purpose à TO MAKE PROTEINS!

Organelles

100

the need of an organism to stay stable by regulating internal conditions it mainly sustains this by dynamic equilibrium is maintained = it isn’t always the same, but things stay within a range. This process is called maintaining __________

Homeostasis

100

Molecules move down a concentration gradient, from high [ ] to an area of low [ ]

Ex. O2 and CO2, and other small, nonpolar molecules

simple diffusion

100

before a stem cell gets a specific lifetime function it goes through ___________ a process that creates special structures and functions.

Differentiation

100

Structure •Made of microtubules •2 centrioles together = centrosome

Job •Appear during cell division, •Help cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart

CENTRIOLES

200

Name one of the main postulates of Cell Theory

1. All living things are made of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of life.

3. All cells come from other cells.

200

•Surrounds the outside of ALL cells!

•Made of two layers (known as the phospholipid bilayer)

Cell Membrane

200

Organisms constantly take in _______and have to _______to them in order to maintain homeostasis

stimuli    respond

200

A _____   ______ helps to facilitate the diffusion of molecules that normally couldn‘t pass through the cell membrane

______   _______can act as a channel or a carrier

transport protein

200

•The Cell Cycle consists of 3 main phases: what are they?

–Interphase = cell growth

–Mitosis = cell division

–Cytokinesis = cytoplasm separation which begins at the end of mitosis

–Interphase = cell growth

–Mitosis = cell division

–Cytokinesis = cytoplasm separation which begins at the end of mitosis

200

This type of transport uses vesicles to move large particles into the cell.

Ex. When white blood cells engulf bacteria in order to fight infection.

Endocytosis

300

composed of many cells that may organize into tissues à organs à organ systems

Multicellular

300

Plasma Membrane Have ________(likes water) heads and _________(dislikes water) tails

hydrophilic   hydrophobic

300

In a ________ feedback loop, the output (or product) of a system intensifies the response.

positive

300

Molecules move _______a concentration gradient, from high [ ] to an area of low [ ]

down

300

Interphase is made of 3 sub phases, AND 1 resting phase.

G1, S, G2   -->  G0

300

_________– region of the condensed chromosomes that looks pinched.

Centromere

400

–It is the smallest part of an organism that is still capable of all of life’s processes.

–But they are VERY diverse.

What are the two types?

Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic

400

The Cell Plasma Membrane is composed of carbs, proteins that move about freely with in the phospholipids, this characteristic gives it this other name

Fluid Mosaic Model

400

1.Human body temperature (thermoregulation)

2.Water concentration (osmoregulation)

3.Blood sugar regulation

are all examples of 

negative feedback loop

400

The simple diffusion of _____ across the cell membrane.

______ molecules move down a concentration gradient, from high [water] to an area of low [water] until equilibrium is reached.

water

400

An unduplicated chromosome has a sister chromatid made during this Interphase stage of a cell

S phase

400

_________ solutions: water [ ] is higher than the cell’s cytoplasm.

Hypotonic

500

Although there are two main types of cells, ALL cells have this type of material that holds information.

Genetic

500

Structure: Threadlike fibers, Made of proteins

Job: Give the cell shape, Can also move organelles around

CYTOSKELETON

500

Homeostasis is maintained through regulation at the organ system level all the way down to the cellular level. Much of homeostasis on the cellular level is maintained by the ____ __________ controlling the movement of things in and out of the cell.

cell membrane

500

_______solutions: water [ ] is lower than the cell’s cytoplasm.

Hypertonic

500

Spindle fibers connect to the centromere of each sister chromatid.

Chromosomes line up in middle of the cell.

Metaphase

500

_______ solutions: identical water [ ] to cell’s cytoplasm à

Isotonic

600

Structure •Small and numerous in animal cells

•One large central one in plant cells

Job •Storage (water, nutrients, waste, etc.)

Vacuoles

600

Structure• Made of proteins and rRNA, located on Rough ER and floating in cytoplasm

Job• Make proteins in a process called translation

Ribosomes

600

The transport of materials into and out of the cell is classified as either ________or _______.

passive or active

600

The Gummy Bear sitting in the distilled solution was in what type of Osmotic solution?

Hypotonic, which is why water moved into the cell

600

-Nucleus shrinks and breaks apart.

-Internal/external signals activate genes that produce self-destructive enzymes.

-programmed cell death


Apoptosis

600

________ uses vesicles to export materials out of the cell.

Ex. When nerve cells secrete neurotransmitters to send signals throughout the body.

Exocytosis
