Term
What is the cell theory?
Definition
-all organisms are made of one or more cells
-cells are the smallest unit of life
-all cells come from preexisting cells
Term
plasma membrane

have nucleus and organelles
may have cell wall
larger than prokaryotes
are fungi, protest, animals, plants in Eukarya domain
Term
cell wall
Definition
surrounds plasma membrane
protects cell
shapes cell
keeps cell from bursting

Definition
hair-like structures that propel cell or move material near cell: made of microtubules
cilia: short numerous hairs
flagella: long few hairs
animals
Term
centrioles
Definition
pair of microtubule barrels
-organize cytoskeleton and cell division
animals
Term
nucleus
Definition
stores DNA makes rRNA; control center of cell
nuclear envelope; double membrane with pores
nucleolus; site of rRNA, ribosome synthesis
both plants and animals
Term
ribosome
Definition
makes protein for cell: made of proteins rRNA
free floating in cytoplasm
attached to organelle
both plants and animals
Term
organelle
Definition
area for specialized cell functions with own membrane
Term
endomembrane system
Definition
organelles that work together to make, package and ship molecules
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
make modify, transport proteins and lipids; near nucleus
vesicles send finished products to Golgi apparatus
both plants and animals
Term
Rough ER
Definition
folds and modifies proteins made by ribosome embedded on surface
Term
smooth ER
Definition
No ribosome surface; makes lipids
Term
Golgi apparatus
Definition
final processing center for molecules stack of flat sacs
complete assembly
sort, package products into vesicles
direct vesicles to correct location
both plants and animals
Term
where does Golgi apparatus send products
Definition
-kept and used in cell
-becomes part of cell membrane
-secreted for use outside of cell
Term
lysosome
Definition
breaks down food' destroys cells or old organelles; sac of enzymes and acid
animals
Term
peroxisome
Definition
degrades toxic products
both plants and animals
Term
vacuoles
Definition
large vesicles for storage
Term
food vacuole
Definition
holds food engulfed by cell fuses with lysosome
animals
Term
contractile vacuole
Definition
regulates amount of water in cell by contracting
protist
Term
central vacuole
Definition
stores water sugars salts pigments; presses plasma membrane against cell wall
plants
Term
energy center
mitochondrion and chloroplast
Definition
-extract/store energy for cell
-have membranes within membranes
-have own DNA
-Have on ribosomes
Term
chloroplast
Definition
stores light energy in glucose
-outer membrane
-inner membrane
plants
Term
thylakoids
Definition
membranes folded into disc
Term
grana
Definition
stack of thylakoids
Term
stroma
Definition
internal fluid
Term
mitochondrion
Definition
uses energy in food to produce most of a cells atp
-outer membrane, folded inner membrane ( cristae)
-intermembrane space
-matrix
plants and animals
Term
endosymbiotic hypothesis
Definition
big prokaryote engulfed small energy producing prokaryotes
prokaryotes grew dependent on each other
small prokaryotes became mitochondrion and chloroplast organelles ;large prokaryotes became a eukaryotic cell
Term
flagella only
Definition
pilus: connects cells together to exchange genetic material
glycocalyx- protects cell helps it to stick to surfaces.
Term
cytoplasm of bacteria
Definition
nucleoid- area where DNA lies in cytoplasm when there is no nucleus
plasma membrane
cytoplasm
ribosomes
Term
common features in all cells
Definition
cell membrane
cytoplasm
genetic material
ribosome
Term
phospholipid
Definition
lipid with hydrophilic head and 2 hydrophobic fatty acid tails
Term
phospholipid bilayer
Definition
2 layers of phospholipids with heads facing out and tails facing each other
arranged so the tails do not interact with watery fluids
Term
membrane proteins
Definition
enzymes, receptors, recognition, connection, transport
Term
enzymes
Definition
speed up reaction on surface
Term
receptors
Definition
activates when specific signal molecule binds, triggers reaction in cell
Term
recognition
Definition
ID tags for cells
Term
connection
Definition
anchor cell by attaching membrane to other structures
Term
transport
Definition
control movement of molecules across membrane
Term
permeability
Definition
ability of substances to enter or leave cell through membrane
selective- only certain things can pass through
Term
concentration gradient
Definition
difference in amount of substance across the membrane; more on one side than the other
Term
diffusion
Definition
random movement of molecules from high to low concentration, distributed evenly

rate of diffusion increase with smaller molecules size, steep gradient, higher temperatures, or hydrophobic molecules
Term
passive transport
Definition
simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion
osmosis
molecules move down gradient from high to low concentration, no extra energy required
Term
simple diffusion
Definition
substances move directly through membrane without help
small hydrophobic molecules gases
Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition
transport protein helps substance move through membrane
large or hydrophobic molecules
Term
transport membrane proteins
Definition

channel
Definition
open pore; can be closed
Term
aquaporin
Definition
channel for water molecules
Term
osmosis
Definition
diffusion of water from low to high concentration if substances cant pass through membrane, to make each side equal
Term
isotonic
Definition
concentration outside and inside are the same; no net flow; cell same
Term
hypertonic
Definition
higher concentration outside cell water flows leave cell ;cell shrank
Term
hypotonic
Definition
lower concentration outside cell water flows in cell cell grows
Term
turgor pressure
Definition
central vacuole expands pushing cell membrane against cell wall
-central vacuole has salt, sugar, other substances; available water rushes into the vacuole
