cell theory
|
1. All living things are made of cells , 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms. , 3. All cells arise form existing cells
|
|
do small cells function more efficiently than large cells?
|
Yes
|
|
if the cells surface to volume ratio is too low then,
|
Substances cannot enter and leave the cell in numbers large enough to meet the cells needs.
|
|
cell membrane
|
encloses the cell and serrated the cells interior

Cellular structure on which proteins are made
|
|
cytoplasm
|
gooey substance that holds the cells organelles
|
|
DNA
|
Provides instructions for making proteins, regulates cellular activities, and enables cells to reproduce.

some prokaryotes do not need oxygen to survive. true or false?
|
True

Organism whose cells have a nucleus
|
|
nucleus
|
Internal compartment that houses the cells DNA

|
|
antibody
|
Immune system protein specialized to bind to one particular kind of molecule, proteins.
|
|
the cytoplasm of a cell is contained by its
|
Membrane
|
|
the fluidity of membranes is caused by
|
Lipids, which form the foundation of membranes

Non polar
|
|
polar heads repel or attract water?
|
Attract water
|
|
phospholipids are arranged in
|
A double layer called a lipid bilayer
|
|
the no polar tails make up the
|
Interior of the lipid bilayer
|
|
most polar ,ole dukes are repelled by
|
The non polar interior of the lipid bilayer
|
|
receptor proteins
|
Bind specific substances such as signal molecules outside the cell.
