Bio 1.1-1.2

Cards in this deck (44)
- 1ProcaryoticCells WITHOUT membrane bound organelles. (example: Kingdom Monera)
- 2EucaryoticCells with organelles.
- 3Cell MembraneA phospholipid bilayer responsible for moving materials into and out of the cell.
- 4MitochondriaPowerhouse of the cell (produces atp).
Double membraned with inner cristae to create a higher surface area.
Cells high in mitochondria: muscle cells, retinal cells, liver cells or spermatozoa. - 5Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.Lacks ribosomes.
Responcible for lipid production (ex. steroid hormones.)
Detoxifies drugs in some cells. - 6Rough endoplasmic reticulum.Large number of ribosomes on it's surface.
Site of protein production for export. - 7RibosomesSmall, dark, staining (black dots)
Site of protein synthesis; creates peptide bonds between amino acids.
Produced in nucleolus. - 8Golgi BodyPost office of cell; stores, packages, and exports proteins and other materials.
Groups of flattened balloon- like saccules. - 9VesiclesSmall Vacuole usually produced by golgi body or cell membrane.
Used to transport material. - 10VacuolesMembrane sac filled with food/waste moving into/out of the cell.
Aid in food digestion and water removal.
Stores starch, water, other chemicals. - 11LysosomesVesicles filled with hydraulic enzymes; fuzes with other vacuoles / other structures to digest food, ect for recycling or removal (digestion).
- 12Nuclear EnvelopeDouble layer membrane around the nucleus- contains pores which control movement in/out.
- 13NucleolusControl center- contains DNA & is the site of its replication.
- 14ChromosomesGenetic Information.
Humans have 46 (23 Pairs) - 15The Fluid-Mosaic Membrane ModelA model of the cell membrane

- 16PhospholipidsThe main part of the cell membrane. (hydrophilic heads and hyrophobic tails)
- 17CholesterolStiffens membrane and controls fluidity.
4 fused ring structure.
Lipid. - 18Membrane ProteinsMay act as: channels, carriers, pumps, cell recognition proteins, receptors for hormones, enzymes.
- 19Carbohydrate ChainsFound attached to membrane's lipids and on cell's outer surface.
Different organs and different blood types have unique chains. - 20Membrane VesiclesBreak off from membrane and move in/out of cell.
- 21Peripheral ProteinsProteins embedded in the cell membrane, held in place by cytoskeletal filaments.
Structural role. - 22Glycolipid and GlycoproteinsCarb chain protruding from phospholipid or protein on the surface of the cell membrane's bilayer.
- 23Integral ProteinMay move laterally; has hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends.
Determines a membrane's specific functions. - 24Channel ProteinAllows a particular molecule or ion to pass the membrane freely.
- 25Carrier ProteinSelectively interacts with specific molecule/ion and combines with it to move it across the membrane.
- 26Receptor ProteinShaped in such a way only specific molecules may bind to it.
- 27Enzymatic ProteinCatalyzes specific reaction. (ie. creatine)
- 28Cell Recognition ProteinUnique to each person.
Protects cell, facillitates adhesion to other cells, receptor of signal molecules, and cell-cell recognition. - 29DiffusionMovement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- 30Facilitated Diffusion / Facilitated TransportDiffusion with the help of a protein carrier.
(passive transport) - 31OsmosisThe diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane; may move through channel or diffuse through bilayer.
- 32Active TransportMovement through gradient with the help of ATP and a carrier.
Example: nerve messages via the sodium-potassium pump. - 33Osmotic PressureForce that causes water to move.
- 34IsotonicOutside and inside of the cell are equal. No net gain or loss.
- 35Hypotonic SolutionWater enters cell causing swelling.
More water and less solute in solution. - 36Turgor PressurePressure of cell contents against cell wall when central vacuole is full.
- 37Hypertonic SolutionSolution with more solute than the cell.
Causes cell to shrink. - 38PlasmolysisShrinking of cytoplasm due to osmosis.
- 39Factors affecting rate of diffusionSize, shape, concentration, charge, lipid solubility, temperature
- 40EndocytosisMoving particles from outside to inside of the cell.
Creates vesicle from cell membrane; requires ATP. - 41PhagocytosisEndocytosis of large particles.
Example: white blood cells / amoebas - 42PinocytosisEndocytosis of small particles.
Examples: vili in small intestines/ plant roots. - 43Receptor mediated endocytosisType of pinocytosis where receptors (or receptor proteins) bind with specific molecules.
examples: vitamins, hormones, lipoprotein. - 44ExocytosisProcess of moving material from inside of the cell to outside.
Contributes to cell growth from vacuole forming with cell membrane.
