Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

What is the cell membrane?

Back (Answer)

• Selectively permeable • Allows solutes to move between the cell and the external environment • Phospho lipid bi layer • Contains a protein channel

#2
Front (Question)

What is the Nucleus?

Back (Answer)

• Storage centre of cells DNA • Nuclear pores: A protein channel that links the nucleus to the cytoplasm • Nucleolus: the largest part of the nucleus

#3
Front (Question)

What is the cell wall?

Back (Answer)

Function: rigid boundary for plant cells outside the cell membrane

#4
Front (Question)

What is Cytoplasm?

Back (Answer)

• Surrounds the organelles - Contains nutrients

#5
Front (Question)

What are Ribosomes?

Back (Answer)

Function: protein synthesis Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) • moves proteins within the cell • covered in ribosomes Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER) -moves lipids around the cell

#6
Front (Question)

What is the Golgi Apparatus?

Back (Answer)

Function: receives proteins form the rER and distributes them to other organelles or out the cell - receiving, processing, packaging and shipping

#7
Front (Question)

What are Mitochondria?

Back (Answer)

Function: converts energy food (sugar) into usable energy for wok (ATP)

#8
Front (Question)

What are lysosomes?

Back (Answer)

Function: breaks down food particles, invading objects or worn out cell parts

#9
Front (Question)

What are Cillia and Flagella?

Back (Answer)

Function: cell movement • Cillia short extrusions from cell surface • Flagella long extrusions from cell surface

#10
Front (Question)

What is the Vacuole?

Back (Answer)

• Temporary storage of waste nutrients of water - larger in plants then animal cells

#11
Front (Question)

What is a Chloroplast?

Back (Answer)

• Used for photosynthesis • Only in plants • Converts light energy to chemical energy stored in bonds of glucose

#12
Front (Question)

What comes in and out of the cell membrane?

Back (Answer)

IN: • sugars • protiens • fats • salts • 02 • H20 OUT: waste -ammonia -salts

#13
Front (Question)

What are protein channels?

Back (Answer)

• Makes “doors” through the membrane • allow substances in and out • Specific channels allow specific materials in and out

#14
Front (Question)

What percentage of cell membrane is made up of proteins

Back (Answer)

60%

#15
Front (Question)

What determines the rate of diffusion?

Back (Answer)

• Steepness of the concentration gradient • temprature • The surface area • Types of molecules • It is passive transport so no energy is needed

#16
Front (Question)

What is active transport?

Back (Answer)

• Cells that need molecules to move against concentration gradient • Needs to pump into cell • Uses energy due to being low to high

#17
Front (Question)

What is Exocrysis?

Back (Answer)

The active movement of a substance out of a cell

#18
Front (Question)

What is Endocrysis?

Back (Answer)

The active movement of a substance into a cell Two types: - Pinocytosis: “cell drinking”: entry of liquid substances - Phagocytosis: “cell eating” entry of large solid substances

#19
Front (Question)

What are the 4 tissue types?

Back (Answer)

• Epithelial (skin, lining of organs) • Connective (cartilage, blood cells, bone) • Muscular • Nervous

#20
Front (Question)

What is Epithelial tissue?

Back (Answer)

Tissue that forms the outer layer of organs

#21
Front (Question)

What is Connective tissue?

Back (Answer)

Provides support for the body and helps holds the bodys parts together

#22
Front (Question)

What is Muscular tissue?

Back (Answer)

• Responds to stimuli contracting and lengthening • 3 cells, usually long and thin Three types: • Skeletal: Voluntary, striated • Cardiac: Involuntary, striated • Involuntary: Smooth, non- striated

#23
Front (Question)

What is Nervous tissue?

Back (Answer)

Made up of electrons

#24
Front (Question)

What is Metabolism?

Back (Answer)

• The total of all chemical processes that take place in the body • These chemical processes convert food you eat into energy and materials • Urine and sweat are examples of metabolic waste
