2 organelles that contain their own DNA separate from the chromosome
Mitochondria and chloroplast
What domains fall under prokaryotic cells?
Bacteria and archaea
What are the basic features of all cells?
Membrane, cytoplasm, chromosomes, ribosomes
This organelle synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates,
detoxifies poison, and stores calcium
Smooth ER
This cell is characterized by having DNA in a nucleus that is bound
by a nuclear envelope and membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic cell
This is a membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that can digest
macromolecules
Lysosome
The __________ is a selective barrier that allows oxygen, nutrients, and wastes to service the volume of every cell
Plasma membrane
Ribosomes use the information from the DNA to make what
Proteins
This cell type is characterized by having no nucleus, but instead
a nucleoid, and no membrane bound organelles
Prokaryotic cell
Diffusion through protein channels is known as what?
Facilitated diffusion
Site of ribosomal RNA synthesis
Nucleolus
What happens to a plant cell when placed in pure water (hypotonic
solution)?
It becomes turgid, cell wall protects from bursting
Site of photosynthesis
chloroplast
These vacuoles pump excess water out of the cell
Contractile
This ER lacks ribosomes
Smooth ER
This organelle modifies products of the ER, manufactures certain macromolecules, sorts and packages materials into transport
vesicles
Golgi apparatus
What kind of amino acids will anchor proteins into the membrane?
Non-polar
What is it called when cells are moving molecules against its
concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an
area of high concentration? What does it require to do this?
Active transport, requires ATP
Site of cellular respiration
Mitochondria
These types of vacuoles are formed by phagocytosis
Food
The logistics of carrying out cellular metabolism sets a limit on the
size of cells. The ________ to _______ ratio of a cell is critical.
Surface area to volume
Both animals and plants have _________ that allow molecules
to pass readily between adjacent cells without crossing plasma
membranes.
Cell junctions
These vacuoles are found in many mature plant cells and they
hold organic compounds and water
Central
What are the 3 main types of membrane receptors?
G-protein linked, tyrosine kinases, ion channel
Oxidative organelles
Peroxisomes
What happens when you put a red blood cell in pure water (hypotonic solution)? Why?
The cell will burst because water rushes into the cell.
The ________ is continuous with the nuclear membrane
ER membrane
Which part of the phospholipid bilayer is considered hydrophobic?
Fatty acid tail
Which part of the phospholipid bilayer is considered hydrophilic?
Phosphate head
How does the membrane become semipermeable to polar molecules?
Protein channels
_______ is a water channel in bacteria.
Aquaporin
1/2 This is the movement of molecules from a HIGH concentration to
a LOW concentration. What type of transport is this?
Diffusion, passive transport
What is osmosis?
Diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane
What does hypertonic mean?
More solute, less water
What does hypotonic mean?
Less solute, more water
What does isotonic mean?
Equal solute, equal water
What happens when you water plants with salt water? Why?
It will wilt because water will leave the plant and go toward the
hypertonic solution (salt water).
Signal transduction pathways serve to convert signals on a cell's
surface into cellular ________.
Responses
A _______ is a chemical released by a cell in one part of the
body, that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of
the organism.
Hormone
What are plant hormones called?
Phytohormones
How are hormones transported?
In the blood
What are the 3 stages of cell signaling?
Reception, transduction, response
Reception occurs when a ________ molecule binds to a ______
protein, causing it to change _____.
Signal, receptor, shape
Membrane receptors that attache phosphates to specific amino
acids in proteins are called
Receptor tyrosine-kinases
The activation of this pathway occurs when a GTP displaces the
GDP.
G-protein linked receptor pathway
Part of the receptr on the cytoplasmic side serves as an enzyme
which catalyses the transfer of phosphate groups from ATP to a
certain amino acid on a substrate protein. This is an example of
what signal transduction pathway?
Tyrosine kinase receptor pathway
This pathway requires formation of a dimer.
Tyrosine-kinase pathway
The signal molecule that binds to a receptor is typically called a
what?
Ligand
What needs to happen to a receptor to initiate the transduction of
a signal?
Conformational change (change in shape)
What is the formula for solute potential?
Ys=-iCRT
What is the ionization constant for sucrose? What about NaCl?
Sucrose = 1
NaCl = 2
What types of cells typically have a pressure potential? What is
this due to?
Plant cells due to a cell wall
what is the pressure potential of an open beaker?
0
How is temperature measured in the water potential equation?
Kelvin
If the temperature was 39 degrees C, what is the temperature in
Kelvin?
312K
What is the cell junction of a plant called?
Plasmodesmata
What is the cell junction of an animal cell called?
Gap junction
2/2
