The organelle that protects the cell and controls movement in and out of the cell
cell membrane
mitochondria
Molecules that can diffuse directly through the cell membrane
small, non-polar
Give an example of a small non-polar molecule
oxygen or carbon dioxide
The heads of the membrane are...
The tails are ...
hydrophilic
hydrophobic
The organelle that initiates protein production
nucleus
Assembles proteins
ribosome, (with the help of mRNA and tRNA) and made up of rRNA
Molecules that use protein channels to enter the cell
small polar molecules
Give an example of a small polar molecule
water
this transport glucose across the membrane. is it a protein channel or carrier protein?
GLUT, carrier protein
The organelle is used for the storage of proteins or to contain solids or liquids engulfed by the cell
vesicle
Modifies, packages, and ships proteins
Golgi apparatus
The type of transport that requires an input of energy (ATP)
active transport
This type of transport allows small non-polar molecule to diffuse through the membrane
simple diffusion
this the the protein that allows water to move across the cell membrane. is it a protein channel or carrier protein?
aquaporin
The organelle used to transport materials around the cell
endoplasmic reticulum
Cleans up the cell and gets rid of unwanted waste
lysosome
if a cell is in a hypertonic solution, which way will water diffuse? And what is that called?
out of the cell
osmosis
This type of transport allows polar molecules through protein channels in the membrane
facilitated diffusion
the cell membrane is made up of ____ and has ____ throughout to give it flexibility
phospholipids, cholesterol
Synthesizes lipids and hormones.
Smooth ER
Detoxifies toxins and processes free radicals
peroxisome
Free radicals are unstable atoms (extra e-) naturally formed during metabolism or by exposure to environmental toxins. Excess free radicals can damage cells, cause diseases, and accelerate aging.
The process of engulfing large molecules into the cell
endocytosis
This is the only type of transport that requires energy and moves Na/K
sodium-potassium pump
If the cell membrane no longer functions or has a hole, this happens to the cell...
cell death, apoptosis
