Name 2 differences between prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells.
presence of a nucleus
membrane-bound organelles
complexity of cell structure
Large sacs of hydrolytic enzymes that are found in mostly animal cells are called...
lysosomes.
The structure of cell walls in plants.
composed of cellulose
When a substrate is diffusing across a membrane at an equal rate.
dynamic equilibrium
Describe the difference between endocytosis & exocytosis.
endocytosis = bulk entry inside cell
exocytosis = bulk exit from cell
What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus?
process, modify, and package proteins & lipids for transport
How eukaryotic cells maximize the overall efficiency of reactions and biological processes.
compartmentalization
Describes the complex components of a eukaryotic plasma membrane.
Fluid Mosaic Model

rough ER
Golgi body
vesicle
Name 3 organelles that are part of the endomembrane system and provide the respective function.
endoplasmic reticulum =
golgi body =
vesicles =
plasma membrane =
A large, nonpolar molecule must enter a cell through...
integral protein
protein channel OR carrier
What caused the change between the initial state and the final state in the diagram?
water moved from the right side to the left side of the U-tube because the left side was hypertonic compared to the right side
Water moves from areas of _______ water potential, or _______ solute concentration, to areas of _______ water potential, or _______ solute concentration.
high; low; low; high
All cells have these structures in common (4).

DAILY DOUBLE!!!
Some cells are specialized for secreting enzymes. What organelle is most likely in abundance in these cells?
ribosomes
What part of the structure of the cell membrane prohibits small ions from traveling through it?
the hydrophobic tails of phospholipids in the bilayer
hydrophobic substances REPEL charged particles
Based on the graph, what is the concentration of the substance inside the dialysis bag?
about 0.15M
This organelle would synthesize a protein destined for the cell membrane.
Ribosome on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Compare and contrast the functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) within a cell.

secondary active transport
Describe an ion and it's relation to membranes.
small, highly charged
CANNOT pass through membrane without integral protein
