In the Cell
In this type of cell, DNA is located in the nucleoid region as opposed to a membrane bound nucleus. Domains include Archaea & Bacteria.
Specialized energy organelle in plants that contains green pigment chlorophyll.
What is Chloroplasts?
These are polymers composed of a phosphate, a glycerol, and 2 fatty acids that make up the bilayer of cell membranes.
What is Phospholipids?
Smaller molecules like Oxygen (O2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and Nitrogen (N2) are able to easily pass through a membrane without any aid via this process.
What is Simple Diffusion?
In a solution the _________ is dissolved and the __________ does the dissolving.
What is Solute; Solvent?
This is the part of the nucleus where ribosomes production takes place.
What is the Nucleolus?
This organelle is the location of protein synthesis.
What is Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
What is heads; tails?
The diffusion of water down its concentration gradient across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is Osmosis?
A solution is said to be this if the solute concentration outside the cell is less than inside.
What is Hypotonic?
The FedEx or UPS of the cell, this organelle sorts, packages, and adds molecular tags to materials that will be transported out of the cell (via exocytosis).
What is Golgi Body?
(Golgi Apparatus)
(Golgi Complex)
This organelle in the cell is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification of living cells.
What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?
These are proteins that are embedded into the lipid bilayer, as opposed to merely being attached to their surface. They help with different types of both active and passive diffusion.
What is Integral Proteins?
Types of active transport ____________ is the uptake of molecules from vesicles fused from the plasma membrane, whereas ___________ is the secretion/releasing of molecules via vesicles that fuse to the plasma membrane.
What is Endocytosis; Exocytosis?
In Chloroplasts of plant cells, stacks of thylakoids are called ___________.
What is Grana?
Found in plants, this is a central storage site for water, ions, nutrients, and wastes.
What is Central Vacuole?
Similar to Plasmodesmata of plants, these are channels in animal cell membranes that allow passage of molecules/ions between adjacent cells.
What is Gap Junctions?
__________________ is the transport of molecules across a membrane that does require energy in the form of ATP, whereas ______________ transports molecules without the use of energy from ATP.
What is Active Transport; Passive Transport?
This is the type of integral protein that functions in the sodium-potassium pump.
What is Carrier Protein?
A type of endocytosis, often associated with white blood cells, where a cell uses its plasma membrane to engulf and digest large solid particles or foreign invaders like bacteria.
What is Phagocytosis?
This organelle hydrolyzes wastes and can recycle the cell's organic material.
What is Lysosomes?
DOULBE JEOPARDY: This question is worth double the points.
Of the three cytoskeleton parts discussed in this class, these are the two that play a role in cell division (Interphase, Mitosis, & Cytokinesis).
What is Microtubules (Anaphase) & Microfilaments (Cytokinesis)?
There are two main types of integral proteins involved in facilitated diffusion passive transport. __________ proteins undergo conformation changes as a chemical response to allow passage of materials, whereas ___________ proteins provide a gated passage for passage of materials that opens via chemical response.
What is Carrier; Channel?
This is the pattern of sodium & potassium uptake/release caused by the sodium-potassium pump.
What is 3 Na+ out and 2 K+ in?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY: This question is worth double the points.
This is the polysaccharide that the cell walls of plants are composed of.
What is Cellulose?
