This is the main function of ATP
What is an energy source?
This organelle allows plant cells to perform photosynthesis
what is chloroplast?
This type of transport requires ATP
what is active transport?
What are dendrites?
Starch is an example of this.
What is a carbohydrate?
These structures are responsible for protein synthesis
What are ribosomes?
The literal meaning is "fat-fearing"
What is lipophobic?
Facilitated diffusion moves substances in this direction relative to their concentration gradient
This catalyzes (speeds up) an action potential
What is myelin?
What are monomers?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins before they are transported.
What is the golgi apparatus?
Some molecules, such as proteins, generally cannot pass directly through the phospholipid bilayer because of this characteristic.
What is large sizze?
What are channel proteins?
When repolarization happens, this ion moves out of the neuron
K+
What is carbon?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own versions of these structures, similar to prokaryotic cells.
What are ribosomes?
An ion such as Na+ cannot easily cross the membrane's hydrophobic interior because of this characteristic
what is a charge?
Side A has a low solute concentration, and Side B has a high solute concentration. Water can cross the membrane, which direction will it move?
What is from Side A towards Side B?
Neurotransmitters cross this space to get from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron
What is the synaptic cleft?
This is how enzymes catalyze reactions.
What is lowering the activation energy required?
What is the lysosome?
Two molecules of the same size want to cross the phospholipid bilayer: molecule A is nonpolar, while molecule B is charged. Which will cross directly?
A neuron has a high concentration of an ion inside the cell compared to outside. An ion channel opens. Assuming concentration is the only factor considered, which direction will the ion start to move?
What is from inside to outside/down the concentration gradient?
A toxin blocks voltage-gated Na+ channels, and this is the result (likeliness of an action potential)
an AP is less likely to occur
