Cell Structure and Function
This part of the cell provides ATP
What is the Mitochondria?
This mathematical ratio is the primary reason why cells must remain small.
What is Surface Area-To-Volume?
This is what the cell membrane is mostly composed of
What are phospholipids?
This structure within a cell performs a specific function
What is an organelle?
This jelly-like substance fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
As a cell increases in size, its volume grows proportionally to the cube of its radius, but its surface area only grows proportionally to this.
What is the Square of it Radius?
This is the movement of water molecules across a cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
This four ringed structure in the cell membrane keeps fluid present.
What is cholesterol?
This type of transport uses energy and proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is Active Transport?
This happens to the Surface Area-To-Volume ratio as a cell grows larger.
What is Decreasing?
This is what creates a tunnel through which molecules can pass.
What are channel proteins?
This happens when molecules move from high concentration to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
This process of a cell is when the cell 'self destructs', eliminating all harmful cells around it.
What is Apoptosis?
This extremely large cell needs a massive reserve of mitochondria and nutrients to support early embryonic growth.
What is an Oocyte/Egg cell?
This is the process of releasing things out of cells and the process of taking substances into cells.
What is endocytosis and exocytosis?
Vesicles transport wastes out of the cell through this process.
What is exocytosis?
This structure in a cell transports proteins to other parts of the cell
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
This is the equation for the surface area of a cube with a side length of S.
What is 6s^2?
A phospholipid is made of a polar group, fatty acid chain, and this.
What is a phosphate?
After diffusion or osmosis, a cell will be in this state.
What is homeostasis?
