movement from an area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration, does not require energy - ANSWER what is
passive transport and does it require energy?
movement from an area of low concentration to an area of high
concentration, does require energy (ATP) - ANSWER what is active
transport and does it require energy?
small, polarity, charge, concentration - ANSWER what are
factors that affect the ability of solutes to pass through a bilayer?
determinant of how a small molecule can diffuse across a bilayer
- ANSWER what is hydrophobicity?
concentration is higher on one side than the other - ANSWER
what is the transmembrane gradient?
the movement of water across a membrane in response to
concentration gradients - ANSWER what is osmosis?
the cells lose water, known as crenation in animals and
plasmolysis in plants - ANSWER describe osmosis in a
hypertonic environment
cells take up water, known as swelling in animals and expansion
in plants - ANSWER describe osmosis in a hypotonic
environment
internal water pressure in plant cells - ANSWER What is turgor
pressure?
, they expel water from animal cells to prevent bursting - ANSWER what is
the purpose of contractile vacuoles?
they allow for substances to move across a cell membrane,
selectively permeable - ANSWER what is the purpose of
transport proteins? are they permeable?
channels and transporters - ANSWER what are the two types of
transport proteins?
small pores that can be opened or closed - ANSWER what are
channel transport proteins?
proteins that bind to a solute and alter it to be able to cross a
membrane - ANSWER what are transporter proteins?
uniporters, symporters, and antiporters - ANSWER what are the
three categories of transporter proteins?
an ion pump that exports sodium, and imports potassium, against
both their gradients using ATP - ANSWER what is the Na+/K+
pump?
3 sodium, 2 potassium - ANSWER what is the ratio of sodium
exported and potassium imported from one ATP?
moves molecules into the cell - ANSWER what is endocytosis?
moves molecules out of the cell - ANSWER what is exocytosis?
receptor mediated, pinocytosis, phagocytosis - ANSWER what
are the three types of endocytosis?
series of events leading to cell division - ANSWER what is the
cell cycle?
, microscopically looking at chromosomes - ANSWER what is
cytogenetics?
G1, S, G2, M (occasionally G0) - ANSWER what are the phases
that make up interphase?
the first gap, and receives signals telling it to undergo cell division
- ANSWER what is G1 and what occurs in this phase?
synthesis of DNA, and replication of chromosomes forming a pair
of sister chromatids - ANSWER what is S and what occurs in this
phase?
second gap, and produce more proteins needed for mitosis -
ANSWER what is G2 and what occurs in this phase?
mitosis and cytokinesis - ANSWER what is M phase?
G0 - ANSWER some cells will enter ______ phase in interphase
and spend the rest of their lives in this phase
minutes, months - ANSWER embryos grow in _______ and
adults grow in ________
cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases - ANSWER what two
proteins control the cell cycle?
they bind and activate cdks - ANSWER what do cyclins do?
23 - ANSWER how many chromosomes does one human set
have?
