Organelles
What organelle stores DNA?
The nucleus
What is the purpose of membranes in cells?
Keep what's inside the cell in, and what's outside the cell out
What type of transport needs energy?
Active transport
What is the first step of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What color light do most plants not absorb?
Green light
What organelle sorts where things go in the cell?
The Golgi apparatus
What are all membranes made out of?
Phospholipds
How does passive transport work without energy?
Solutes move with concentration gradient
What gas is breathed out as a product of cellular respiration?
CO2 (carbon dioxide)
What do you call an organism that creates its own energy?
What organelle has ribosomes on it?
The rough ER (to make proteins)
What do you call the difference between an area of high and low concentration?
A concentration gradient
What do we call call passive transport that requires a protien channel?
Facilitated diffusion
What is the term for respiration that requires oxygen?
Aerobic respiration
What organelle allows plants to perform photosynthesis?
The chloroplasts
What organelle detoxes the blood in liver cells?
The smooth ER
What is the special wall of cells called that stops larger things from entering the brain?
The blood brain barrier
What organs use osmosis to draw blood into the them way quicker than other organs?
The kidneys
How many ATP are invested into cellular respiration to kickstart the proces?
2 ATP
What organelle is more active than usual in infected cells?
The lysosome
Why do membranes automatically form when phospholipids are placed in water?
The hydrophilic heads are pulled to the outside and the hydrophobic tails are pushed inside
How is active transport important in the activation of neuron (brain) cells?
It is used to create an Na+ concentration gradient
What are the two electron carriers used in the electron transport chain?
NADH and FADH2
What part of the chloroplast absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?
The photosystems
