25
functions of golgi apparatus
collects, modifies, packages, distributes CHON and lipids
26
are membrane-bound vesicles formed from the Golgi apparatus intracellular digestive system
Lysosome
27
are small, membrane-bound vesicles containing enzymes that break down fatty acids, amino acids and H2o2
Perixosome
28
function of lysosome
digest any worn out or damaged cell/organelle
29
are small, bean-shaped organelles which are the major sites of ATP production within cells aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
30
consist of proteins that support the cell, hold organelles in place, and enable the cell to change shape
Cytoskeleton
31
determines the overall shape of a cell
microtubules
32
strong, stable rope like
intermediate filaments
33
cell motility, producing changes in cell shape
microfilaments
34
small, cylindrical organelle composed of nine triplets, each consisting of 3 parallel microtubules joined together
centrioles
35
mobile threadlike projections (sweeps materials across cell surface (respiratory system) )
cilia
36
for motility or movement of sperm cell; tail
flagellum
37
lipid synthesis; detoxification of chemicals and drugs
sER
38
hydrophilic
polar heads
39
hydrophobic
polar tails
40
cells that are meter in length
nuerons
41
permeability of phospholipid
permeable
42
how does water pass through?
through protein
43
bones and muscles of the cell
cytoskeleton
44
formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources
gluconeogenesis
45
substances are transported across the membrane without any energy (ATP) input from the cell
Passive transport
46
Membrane Transport mechanisms
Passive Transport | Active transport
47
movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration
diffusion
48
the tendency of the solutes, such as ions or molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of that solute in solution
simple diffusion
49
the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane, such as the cell membrane, from a region of higher water concentration to one of lower water concentration
osmosis
50
a carrier-mediated (protein channels) transport process that moves substances into and out of cells from a higher to a lower concentration
facilitated diffusion
51
a carrier-mediated process that moves substances across the cell membrane from regions of lower concentration to those of higher concentration against a concentration gradient (uses ATP)
Active Transport
52
the movement of substances from lower concentrated area to higher concentrated area by protein carriers that uses ATP
Solute Pumping
53
Examples of Solute pumping
Sodium-Potassium Pump, amino acids
54
substances that cannot get though the plasma membrane in any other way are transported with the help of ATP
Bulk Transport
55
Two types of Bulk transport
Exocytostis | Endocytosis
56
moves substances out of the cell
Exocytosis
57
includes ATP requiring processes that take up, or engulf, extra cellular substances by enclosing thm in a small membranous vesicle
Endocytosis
58
examples of endocytosis
phagocytosis | pinocytosis
59
cell-eating
phagocytosis
60
cell-drinking
pinocytosis
61
produces 2 daughter cells identical to the parent cell; each of these cells will have 46 chromosomes it has no resting phase
mitosis
62
time between cell divisions DNA is found as thin threads of chromatin in the nucleus DNA replication occurs
Interphase
63
part of immune cells; monocytes
macrophages
64
3 phases in interphase
