Parts of the Cell | Membrane Transport | Organelles | Osmosis | Miscellaneous |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is the cell membrane
This is made up of the phospholipid bilayer and proteins
|
What is selective permeability
This term describes the cell membranes ability to allow some molecules to pass through while keeping others out
|
What is the nucleus
This organelle houses the cells DNA
|
What is water
This will move from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration during osmosis
|
What are microvilli
These are membrane extensions that increase surface area
|
What is mitochondria
This organelle enables the cell to undergo functions requiring energy by producing ATP
|
What is osmosis
The diffusion of water through a membrane
|
What is the endoplasmic reticulum
This can be classified as smooth or rough, depending on whether or not ribosomes are present
|
What is hypotonic
This is what a solution is called in comparison to another solution with a higher solute concentration and the net movement of water is out of the solution
|
What is a cell-adhesion molecule
This type of membrane protein enables a cell to anchor and connect to another cell
|
What are ribosomes
These are granules of protein and RNA that can be found in the cytosol, nucleoli, and the rough ER
|
What is active transport
This is the process of moving molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring ATP
|
What is the Golgi complex
This organelle is responsible for forming lysosomes, secretory vesicles, and new plasma membrance
|
What is hypertonic
This is what a solution is called in comparison to another solution with a lower solute concentration and the net movement of water is into the solution
|
What is passive
Filtration and simple diffusion both classify as this type of transport
|
What is a peroxisome
This organelle is similar to a lysosome but contains different enzymes
|
What is carrier mediated transport
This is when proteins carry solutes across a cell membrane and can be classified as either facilitated diffusion or active transport
|
What is the cytoskeleton
This organelle provides structure and rigidity to the cell
|
What is isotonic
This is what a solution is called when it has the same solute concentration as the solution it is being compared with and there is no net movement of water
|
What is transcytosis
The movement of a substance across a cell using both endocytosis and exocytosis
|
What are centrioles
These form the centrosome and play a role in cell division
|
What is vesicular transport
This is the process of moving large molecules through the membrane in vesicles that requires ATP
|
What is the lysosome
This organelle is responsible for the break down of glycogen in the liver to be released as glucose
|
What is tonicity
This is the ability of a solution to affect the fluid volume and pressure within a cell
|
What is an antiporter
These proteins allow the movement of two molecules in opposite directions across a cell membrane
