Seeing the Small Things
The type of cell that does not contain a nucleus
Prokaryotic
The small cellular component responsible for synthesizing proteins
Ribosomes
The space in the middle of adjacent plant cells where nutrients are passed between cells
Middle Lamella
One of the main components of the cell membrane
Phospholipids/Proteins
The form of transport:
Molecules move from high to low concentration
Passive
One structure that all cells possess
Cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, chromosomes
DNA structures that are tightly wrapped around histone proteins
Chromosomes
Instead of cell walls, animal cells have this which provides support and adhesion.
Extracellular Matric (ECM)
The component that maintains cell membrane fluidity and integrity
Cholesterol
The term used to describe the pressure of the cell wall of plant cells against the flow of water
Turgor Pressure
The type of microscope used to see a clear visual image of the surface of a cell
Scanning Electron Microscope
Cell component that has the responsibility of synthesizing lipids
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Which cell is more efficient?
Cell 1: SA=8um, V=9um
Cell 2: SA=4um, V=3um
Cell 2
The type of transport protein that changes shape when a molecule binds to it
Carrier Protein
The type of solution/state:
Cell: 0.2M NaCl
Solution: 0.3M NaCl
Hypertonic
One declaration of the cell theory
Cells are the basic unit of function and structure
All living things are made of cells
Cells are derived from other cells
The cell component that has the job of converting fatty acids to carbohydrates.
Peroxisome
The channels that are present in plant cells which allow nutrients towards the plasma membrane
Plasmodesmata
The type of molecules that do not cross the bilayer easily
Polar
The type of transport that requires pumps to send out materials to then couple the entrance of a different material.
Cotransport
The name given to the region of floating DNA within a prokaryotic cell
Nucleoid
The thinnest among all fibers within the cytoskeleton
Microfilaments
The channels that are present in animal cells which allow nutrients towards to be shared between cells
Gap Junctions
The component of the cell membrane that serves the function of cell identification and recognition
Glycoproteins/Glycolipids
The pressure potential of the cell in equilibrium where:
Water Potential of Solution = -4.2 bars
Solute Potential of the cell = -6.7 bars
+2.5 bars
