|
microfilament |
part of cytoskeleton sold protein fibers; provide structural support ofr eukaryotic cells (cell structure)
|
The Discovery of Cell, chap 7 p. 191
|
|
|
cilia
|
aid in locomotion or feeding; hair like
|
chap 7 p. 193
|
|
|
flagella
|
whiplike
|
chap 7 p 193
|
|
|
osmosis
|
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
|
chap 8.1
|
|
|
isotonic solution
|
concentration of dissolved substance in solution is the same as in the cell, the cell retains original shape
|
chap 8 p. 202
|
|
|
hypotonic solution
|
concentration is lower outside than inside the cell, cell experiences osmosis and cel swells (cellular transport & cell cycle)
|
chap 8 p. 202
|
|
|
hypertonic solution
|
concentration is higher outside then inside teh cell -shrivel - (do not salt meat before cooking because of this affect) (cellular transport)
|
chap 8 p. 203
|
|
|
passive transport
|
when cell uses no energy to pass compounds through plasma membrane; movement of particles across cell membranse by diffusion or osmosis (cell transport)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 204
|
|
|
facilitated diffusion
|
passive transport of materials acrolss a plasma membrane by transport proteins embedded in the plasma membrane (cellular transport)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 204
|
|
|
active transport
|
requires energy, special shape to fit a specific molecule or ion; energy-expending process by which cells transport materials across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient. (cellular transport)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 205
|
|
|
endocytosis
|
engulfed; active transport process where a cell engulfs materials with a portion of the cell's plasma membrane and releases the contents inside a cell. (cellular transport)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 206
|
|
|
exocytosis
|
expulsion of materials from a cell; active transport process by which materials are expelled from a cell (cellular transport)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 206
|
|
|
chromosome
|
carriers of genetic material
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 209
|
|
|
chromatin |
long strand of DNA wrapped around protein; found in eukaryotic cell nucleus during interphase (cell cycle)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 210
|
|
|
cell cycle
|
the sequence of growth and division of a cell; continuous sequence of growth (interphase) and division (mitosis) (cell cycle)
|
Cellular Transport chap 8 p. 210
