Tour of the cell
Bacteria and archaea
What is a Prokaryotic cell
What are aquaporins
Channel protein that facilitates osmosis, the diffusion of H2O
Requires energy to move AGAINST concentration
What is active transport?
Large vesicles derived from the ER and Golgi apparatus
What are vacuoles?
Attachment structures on the surface
What is fimbrae?
Communicating junctions
What are gap junctions?
A solution that has no net movement of water in or out of the cell
What is Isotonic solution?
Supplies the energy for active transport
What is ATP hydrolysis?
Carry out protein synthesis
What are ribosomes?
Rigid structure outside the plasma membrane
What is the cell wall?
Domains of prokaryotic cells
What are fungi, protists, animals, and plants?
Requires no input of energy
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is also called
What is passive transport?
A type of ribosome suspended in the cytosol
What are free ribosomes?
Locomotion of some prokaryotes
What is flagella?
Network of membranous sacs containing Rough and Smooth ER
What is Endoplasmic reticulum?
Causes the cell to take up water, resulting in a bursting cell
What is hypotonic solution?
Water moves from an area higher to lower concentration
What is osmosis?
Encloses the nucleus, separating from the cytoplasm
What is nuclear envelope?
Outer coating consisting of capsule or slime layer
What is glycoclyx?
Blueprint of the cell
What is the nucleus
Causes the cell to lose, resulting in shriveled cell
What is hypertonic solution?
Insulin secretes here
Exocytosis
The power house of the cell
Cytoplasm is found in
What is the plasma membrane?
