Organelles
Organelle with double membrane, highly folded inner membrane. Site of cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
Organelle that is found in all living cells.
What is a ribosome?
Small cells have a high ratio of what two measurements?
What is surface area to volume ratio?
When a cell is submerged in this type of solution, water will slowly leave the cell causing the cell to shrink.
What is a hypertonic solution?
Type of transport that requires no energy and help via a transport protein.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Plays a role in protein synthesis and participates in intracellular transport via tubules.
What is the rough ER?
Has a cell wall, large central vacuole, and chloroplasts.
What is a plant cell?
Part of the Fluid Mosaic Model that is responsible for cell signaling.
What is a glycolipid or glycoprotein.
These types of molecules will not easily pass through the membrane.
What are large or polar molecules?
Movement of molecules out of a cell requiring energy.
What is exocytosis?
Contains enzymes for intracellular digestion.
What is a lysosome?
Cell with linear chromosomes surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
What is a eukaryote?
A membrane has both hydrophilic and ________ regions.
What is hydrophobic?
When energy is used to transport materials from low to high concentration across the membrane.
What is active transport?
This is the term for a substance that has both hydrophillic and hydrophobic regions.
What is amphipathic?
Aids in the retention of water for turgor pressure in plant cells.
What is a vacuole?
Contains a cell wall, circular DNA, and ribosomes. Nothing else.
What is a prokaryote?
Diffusion occurs to ensure that materials needed for the cell's functioning enter the cell and wastes are exported without the use of energy. What is this type of transport called?
What is passive transport?
Method used by cells to allow very large molecules to enter the cell by engulfing or "eating" these molecules.
What is phagocytosis.
This type of transport is very specific, only allowing molecule into the cell that bind with specific receptors.
What is receptor mediated endocytosis?
Site of detoxification and lipid synthesis.
What is the smooth ER?
Cell with Nucleus, Mitochondria, Centrioles, and Centrosomes.
What an animal cell.
Measurement of a plant cell's ability to lose or gain water.
What is water potential?
Protein in cell membrane that allows large amounts of water to pass through.
What is an aquaporin?
The sodium potassium pump works by moving this many molecules out and this many molecules in per 1 ATP.
What is 3 sodium out and 2 potassium in.
