Seven specialized cellular functions: - (answer)movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion,
excretion, respiration, and reproduction
Nucleus - (answer)aids in cell division and control of genetic info, contains DNA (think the egg yolk)
Ribosomes - (answer)RNA-protein complexes; float freely in cytoplasm; provide sites for cellular protein
synthesis; packages and modifies protein for transportation and secretion
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - (answer)specializes in the synthesis and transport of the protein and lipid
components of most of the cells organelles (memory factory)
Golgi complex - (answer)Organelle that packages and distributes proteins into vesicles and transports
within and outside of cell (refining plant in cytoplasm; traffic cop- what goes in and out of cytoplasm)
Lysosomes - (answer)An organelle containing digestive enzymes; digest and remove wastes, digest
debris from dead cells; if ruptured, they can digest cell contents; autodigestion occurs in starvation
Mitochondria - (answer)Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production;
pathway for metabolism of carbs, lipids, and amino acids into ATP; to keep the cell alive; can grow and
self-replicate in the cell
Cytoskeleton - (answer)A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape,
and aids in movement; "bones and muscle" of the cell; have cilia to move it on out
Characteristics of plasma membrane - (answer)made up of lipids and proteins; the basic component is a
bi-layer of lipid molecules that are responsible for the structural integrity of the membrane
The _______________ prevents water soluble molecules from entering cells across the plasma
membrane - (answer)Phospholipid layer

Prokaryote - (answer)unicellular organism lacking a nucleus; contains NO organelles (include
cyanobacteria, bacteria, and rickettsia)
Eukaryote - (answer)organism whose cells contain a nucleus; "good nucleus;" larger w/ intracellular
anatomy
cellular receptors - (answer)protein molecules on the plasma membrane, in the cytoplasm, or in the
nucleus that can recognize and bind with specific smaller molecules called ligands
3 types of cellular receptors - (answer)plasma membrane receptors, channel-linked receptors, non-
channel-linked receptors
passive transport - (answer)The movement of materials through a cell membrane WITHOUT using
energy; no-energy transport of uncharged molecules through any semi-permeable barrier (occurs down
a concentration gradient)
Diffusion - (answer)Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration.
concentration gradient - (answer)A difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance.
hydrostatic pressure - (answer)the mechanical force of water PUSHING against cellular membranes
Osmosis - (answer)Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane; from a region of
higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration; directly r/t hydrostatic pressure
and solute concentration; PULL
active transport - (answer)the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy
