plasma membrane, nuclear membrane

compartment that separates the DNA from the cytoplasm

nucleus

DNA wrapped around storage proteins

area where ribosomes are produced

nucleolus

protein synthesis and modification

rough endoplasmic reticulum

detoxification and lipid metabolism

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

packages substances for transport out of the cell

golgi complex

storage and transport

vacuole

digestion and breakdown of nutrients, wastes and pathogens

lysosome

protein synthesis

ribosome

produces the vast amount of ATP

mitochondrian

function in cell division to produce spindle fibers

centriole

structures that make up the cytoskeleton

microtubule

proteins that are use to make microtubules

microfilament

provides form for the and points of attachment for the organelles

cytoskeleton

short extensions of the cytoskeleton used for movement

cilium

long extensions of the cytoskeleton used for movement

flagellum

a ______ that binds to chemical messengers such as hormones sent by other cells

receptor

breaks down a chemical messenger and terminates its effect on the target cell

enzyme

constantly open and allows solutes to pass into and out of the cell

channel protein

opens and closes to allow solutes through into the cell only at certain times

gated channel

a glycoprotein acting as a ___________ distinguishing the body's own cells from foreign cells

cell-identity marker

binds one cell to another

cell-adhesion molecule

small gaps allowing smaller substances out, filtering out small particles; large molecules are held inside

filtration

for particles too large to go through the plasma membrane

bulk transport

"into the cell"

endocytosis

two forms of endocytosis

phagocytosis, pinocytosis

"to eat"

phagocytosis

"cell drinking" taking in large amounts of water

pinocytosis

"exiting the cell"

exocytosis

______ created by the movement of water toward a ______ solute concentration

osmotic pressure, higher

allows water through, but not solute

semipermeable membrane

most of our cells are _______ because we don't have cell walls

isotonic

concentration equal inside and outside the cell

isotonic

"same"

isotonic

pressure inside the cell

turgor

in osmosis, the higher the solute concentration, the higher the ________________

osmotic pressure

does not require any energy from the cell

passive transport

substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

passive transport

substances can move in both directions, depending on the concentration gradient

passive transport

the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

diffusion

the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the help of membrane proteins

facilitated diffusion

the diffusion of water

osmosis

requires energy from the cell

active transport

substances move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

active transport

substances can move in only one direction: against the concentration gradient

active transport

a membrane protein that moves 3 sodium(Na) out, while moving 2 potassium(K) in

Sodium/Potassium Pump

the excess collection of extracellular fluids due to high solute concentration

edema

the loss of extracellular fluids due to various causes

dehydration

electrolytes make up _____% of all of our solutes

90
