Polar heads are _____

Hydrophilic

Water loving

Nonpolar tails are ______

Hydrophobic

What does hydrophobic mean?

Water fearing

Do hydrophobic molecules pass freely?

No

Do hydrophilic molecules pass freely?

Yes

What is the concept that explains this?



(Materials that are solubule in lipids can pass through the membrane easily)

Solubility

This type of transport requires no energy. Molecules move from area of high to low concentration

Simple Diffusion

This type of transport diffuses water across membrane. Moves from high water potential (low solute) to low water potential (high solute)

Osmosis

The relationship of H2O potential and solute concentration is ______

Inversely proportional

The movement of water is towards the cell. The cell absorbs the water and appears bloated.

Hypotonic

What is another word for Hypotonic?

Cytolysis

Movement of water is out of the cell. The cell appears to shrink.

Hypertonic

What is another word for hypertonic?

Plasmolysis

What is another word for hypertonic?

Plasmolysis

There is no movement of water in the cell. The cell remains in shape

Isotonic

What are the 2 forms of transport across membranes?

Passive and active transport

Differentiate the two (2)

1. Passive transport does not require energy (atp) while active transport needs energy (atp)



2. Passive transport transports from high to low concentration while active transport transports from low to high concentration

What are the 2 forms of diffusion in passive transport?

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion

Differentiate the two

Facilitated diffusion is aided by a transport protein while simple diffusion is not

What do you call the two layers of lipids that form the cell membrane

Phospholipid bilayer

What makes proteins critical to membrane function? (4)

1. Structural support


2. Recognition


3. Communication


4. Transport

What are the two types of tranport proteins?

Channel proteins and Carrier Proteins

What kind of proteins are embedded in the cell membrane and have a PORE for materials to cross

Channel proteins

This protein can change shape to move material from one side of the membrane to the other.

Carrier proteins

What are the two forms of endocytosis?

Pinocytosis and phagocytosis

What is also known as "cell drinking" ?

Pinocytosis

What is also known as "cell eating" ?

Phagocytosis

Engulfing is also called?

Invagination

Large molecules that are manufactured in the cell are released through the cell membrane

Exocytosis

Materials are brought into the cell

Endocytosis

Some integral proteins have receptors on their surface to recognize and take in hormones, cholesterol, etc.

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

Two major processes involved in the genetic continuity

Mitosis and Meiosis

production of 2 cells (each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell)

Mitosis

production of 4 cells (reduces the number of chromosomes by precisely half) production of sex cells

Meiosis

nuclear division. production of 2 daughter nuclei

Karyokinesis

cytoplasmic division. production of two new cells

Cytokinesis

What composes the Interphase?

- G1 (Gap 1) - S phase - G2 (Gap 2)

Time for each phase?

G1 os also known as?

Early growth phase of the cell

What happens in G1?

Choice (checkpoint) to proceed or withdraw from the cycle

What happens if it proceeds with the cycle?

DNA synthesis will be initiated and the cell would continue to complete the cycle

What happens if it withdraws from the cycle?

The cell will go into G0 stage and become quiescent.
