Organelles
This organelle manufactures proteins.
What is a ribosome?
This type of cell has a flagella/whip-like tail for movement, no nucleus, and a cell wall.
What is a prokaryote?
This part of a membrane spontaneously arranges into a bilayer in water, due to its amphipathic properties.
What is a phospholipid?
This process describes small, nonpolar molecules passing through the membrane down the concentration gradient. No energy is used.
What is simple diffusion?
This is the name for the lenses with different magnifications that you can rotate/change on a light microscope.
What is an objective lens?
This organelle is the packaging and processing site for proteins in the cell.
What is the Golgi (apparatus or body)
This type of cell is very small compared to our body's cells and comes in many different shapes, including small round clusters and chains of rods.
What are bacteria? (These are also prokaryotes)
This kind of protein acts as a "revolving door" that can passively move larger or polar things down the concentration gradient by changing conformation
What is an carrier protein?
This is what occurs during active transport.
What is molecules moving up the concentration gradient/towards areas of higher concentration using energy/ATP?
These are the three parts of the cell theory.
All life is made of cells, cells are the basic organizational structure of life, and all cells emerged from preexisting cells
This organelle provides structural support for the cell and acts as the cell's "highway" for transport.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This type of cell includes chloroplasts which produce glucose from light and a central vacuole for water and waste storage.
What is a plant cell?
This kind of protein allows ions to pass easily through the membrane, and does not use any energy or go through any conformational changes. It is basically a tube!
What is a channel protein?
This is the type of molecule that moves up the concentration gradient of ions/to areas of high solute concentration during the process of osmosis.
What is water?
This type of microscope can only show dead organisms in monochrome.
What is an electron microscope?
These organelles provides energy for both plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
This type of cell has a cell membrane and membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus, as well as complex, organized internal structure. Both plants and animals are made of this kind of cell.
What is a eukaryote?
This molecule is amphipathic and stabilizes membranes so that their fluidity is reduced.
What is cholesterol?
This is the process in which molecules move down the concentration gradient across the membrane with the help of proteins.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Because the phospholipids move around constantly and there are many components (different kinds of proteins, phospholipids, cholesterol) that make up the membrane
What is a lysosome?
This type of cell does not have a cell wall, but does have complex membrane structures and organelles. Separation between these cells is harder to see in a microscope because they're often squished together.
What is an animal cell?
This process occurs when a cell expels a specific molecule by carrying it to the membrane in a vesicle and fusing the vesicle with the cell membrane.
What is exocytosis?
This molecule is the "energy currency" of the cell that is used to move specific molecules up the concentration gradient during active transport.
What is ATP?
This is the definition of selective permeability.
The idea that the cell can "choose" certain molecules to pass through the cell membrane or not.
