---|---|---|---|---|
What is another name for the cell membrane?
plasma membrane
|
Is the cytoskeleton in a eukaryotic cell or prokaryotic cell?
Eukaryotic cell
|
What is diffusion?
the movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of hi concentration to a region of low concentration
|
What is active transport?
It moves molecules across a membrane from a low concentration to a hi concentration.
|
What is the purpose of a chloroplast?
they are organelles that carry out photosynthesis
|
What is the double layer of the cell membrane called?
phospholipid
|
What is the storehouse for most of the genetic information or DNA in your cells?
Nucleus
|
What is osmosis?
the diffusion of water.
|
What is endocytosis?
the process of taking liquids or large molecules into a cell by engulfing them in a cell membrane
|
What is a cell wall?
found in plant cells it give protection , support and shape to the cell
|
What are the three basic parts of a phospholipid?
- charged phosphate group
- glycerol -two fatty acid chains |
What hold all the organelles in place?
Cytoplasm
|
What is a isotonic solution?
the solution has the same concentration of dissolved particles inside the cell as outside the cell.
|
What is phagocytosis?
a type of endocytosis in which the cell membrane engulfs large molecules (like other cells)
|
What are centrioles?
cylinder shaped organelles made of short microtubules arranged in a circle - they are part of cell diffusion
|
What is the fluid mosaic model?
First the cell membrane is FLEXIBLE and second the variety of molecules within the membrane look like mosaic tiles.
|
What is the purpose of the mitochondria?
to supply energy for the cell.
|
What is a Hypertonic solution?
a solution with a higher concentration of dissolved particles
|
What is exocytosis?
the release of substances out of a cell by fusion of a vesicle with the membrane
|
What is lysosomes?
membrane bound organelles that contain enzymes - they defend a cell from bacteria and viruses.
|
Why is the selectively permeable membrane important?
allows a cell to maintain HOMEOSTASIS
|
What is the number of cell membranes in mitochondria?
Two (inner and outer)
|
What is a Hypotonic solution?
has more solutes than the cell
|
What is the process of exocytosis?
1. the vesicle forms around the material that will be sent out. 2. the vesicle moves to the cell surface and fuses to cell membrane 3. then the contents are released.

Name three organelles that a plant cell has and an animal cell does not have.
chloroplast, central vacuole, cell wall
