Explain why microscopes are needed to see most cells.

Cells are tiny

Summarize the relationship between the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a cell and its size.

Higher the ratio of service to internal volume, the faster the exchange of materials with the environment, small cells most likely to have adequate surface area for exchanging waste and nutrients

Recognize the key components of the cell plasma membrane.

Boundary between outside and inside of a cell, gatekeeper, regulate its passage of molecules and ions into and out of the cell

Explain how the plasma membrane regulates the passage of molecules into and out of the cell.

Phospholipid by layer with embedded proteins,

Describe the diverse functions of the proteins embedded in the plasma membrane.

Channel proteins - form tunnel across entire membrane, allowing only one or few types of specific molecules to move across the membrane
Transport proteins - combine with substance and help move across membrane with input up energy
Cell recognition proteins - enable bodies to distinguish between our own cells and the cells of other organisms
Enzymatic proteins - metabolic reactions
Junction proteins - form various types of junctions between cells
, cell-to-cell adhesion and communication

Identify the characteristics common to all cells.

Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA

Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic has flagellum, eukaryotic cell does not. Eukaryotic cell has nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not.

Identify the structures of a prokaryotic cell.

Capsule, nucleoid, ribosome, plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, flagellum

Recognize the role of the nucleus in cellular activities.

Stores genetic information and ribosomes in cytoplasm use info to carry out menu facture of proteins

State the components of the endomembrane system and list their functions.

Endoplasmic reticulum -
-rough er: synthesize polypeptides, studded with ribosomes on side of membrane
-smooth er: synthesizes lipids, forms transport vesicles that carry molecules to other parts of cell
Golgi apparatus- transfer station, receives transport vesicles sent by ER, molecules in vesicles modified as moved between saccules. Sorts modified molecules and packages them into new transport vesicles.
Lysosomes - (vesicles) digest molecules and portions of cell, Doug just contents of vesicle.

Identify the energy rolls that chloroplasts and mitochondria play in a cell.

Chloroplast - location where carbon dioxide gas, water, and energy from sun used to produce carbohydrates

Mitochondria - powerhouse of cell, produce most of the ATP cell utilizes

Relate the specific components of the cytoskeleton to their diverse roles within the cell.

Extends from the nucleus to plasma membrane and eukaryotic cells.
Maintain cell shape, allow cell and organelles to move

Describe the structure of a plant cell wall.

Primary cell wall- Cellulose fibrils and noncellulose substances.
Secondary cell wall- larger # of cellulose fibrils, Lignin

State the purpose of the extracellular matrix.

Support cell, meshwork of fibrous proteins and polysaccharides in close association with the cell that produced them

Distinguish among the types of junctions present between eukaryotic cells.

Adhesion junction - internal cytoplasmic Plaques, firmly attached to the cytoskeleton within each cell

Tight junctions - plasma membrane proteins attached to each other, producing a zipper like fastening

Gap junctions - two identical plasma membrane channels join

What regulates the passage of molecules into and out of the cell?

The plasma membrane is the border between the interior and exterior of a cell. As such, it controls passage of various molecules—including sugars, amino acids, ions, and water—into and out of the cell.

Which of the following allows the passage of small ions and molecules between adjacent cells?

Gap junctions are specialized connections that form a narrow pore between adjacent cells. These pores permit small molecules and ions to move from one cell to another.

What allows the passage of small molecules and ions between cells in animals?

Cell junctions are intercellular structures with multiprotein complexes that provide contact, communication, and/or adhesion between neighboring cells in animals. Gap junctions are bridges between cells for sharing small molecules or ions for rapid intercellular communication. Its functional unit is called connexon.

Do plant cells allow passage of small molecules?

Introduction. Plasmodesmata (Pd) are co-axial membranous channels that cross walls of adjacent plant cells, linking the cytoplasm, plasma membranes and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cells and allowing direct cytoplasmic cell-to-cell communication of both small molecules and macromolecules (proteins and RNA).
