Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells share these parts.

What are ribosomes, DNA, cell membrane

100

The process of solutes moving from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane

What is diffusion

100
This is a general term for a signaling molecule
What is a ligand
100
This organelle holds the genetic information for eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus.
100
This is the measurement of water's tendency to move.
What is water potential
200

Membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts are not found in these cells.

What are prokaryotic cells?

200

This model suggests that the cell membrane is constantly moving and is flexible, studded with many different compounds such as proteins and carbohydrates.

What is the fluid mosaic model

200
This "coupled" receptor receives a ligand and initiates the binding of GTP
What is a G-protein linked receptor
200
Synthesizing lipids like oils and steroids are a main function of this organelle.
What is the smooth ER
200
The difference in these ribosomes vs. ribosomes in the cytoplasm, is these are used for transport outside of the cell.
What are attached ribosomes on the rough ER
300
Allows material transfer between plant cells

What is plasmodesmata 

300
Because this substance is polar, it travels through aquaporins.
What is water
300
This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of ATP to cAMP.
What is adenylyl cyclase
300
This organelle can fuse with a vacuole to destroy unnecessary cellular components.
What is a lysosome
300
This is found outside of the cell membrane of animal cells.
What is the ECM
400

Why can prokaryotes usually divide faster than eukaryotes. 

They are generally smaller, have no complex organelles, and simpler DNA organization for quicker replication. 

400

This molecule acts as a fluidity buffer

What is cholesterol 

400
Protein kinases are involved in this "waterfall" of events that occur during the transduction portion of the pathway
What is a phosphorylation cascade
400

Secretory cells that synthesize and secrete large amounts of protein would have a lot of which two organelles?

What are Rough ER and Golgi 

400
Microtubules are found in these 3 organelles/cell parts.
What are cilia, flagella, and centrioles.
500

Some unicellular organisms, like paramecia, carry out digestion, waste removal, movement, and osmoregulation within a single cell. How can one cell perform all these functions and what type of cell is this?

Eukaryote

 Internal Compartmentalization 

500

Glucose enters intestinal cells using the Na⁺ gradient created by the sodium-potassium pump. Because ATP is required to set up the gradient, this process is…

What is Active Transport

500

In signal transduction pathways, this is the term for when one signal molecule activates multiple molecules in the cascade.

Signal amplification 

500
During endocytosis, cells can take in nutrients from their surroundings and then store them using these organelles.
What is the vacuole
500
These prevent "leakage" through the cell membranes of adjacent animal cells by providing a almost perfect seal.
What is a tight junction
