Study Notes
Cellular Organelles and Functions
- The synthesis of ribosomes occurs in the nucleolus.
Cell Membrane Transport
- Hypotonic solution: fluid flows out of the cell.
- Active transport: movement of large materials through the cell membrane, requiring metabolic energy.
- Passive transport: type of transportation across a differentially permeable membrane that requires no metabolic energy.
- Facilitated diffusion: type of diffusion that requires the assistance of membrane proteins.
Cellular Components and Functions
- Peroxisomes: involved in the breakdown of fatty acids and amino acids.
- Chromatin: composed of DNA and proteins (histones) in the nucleus.
- Cilia: responsible for movement and sensing the environment.
- Nucleoplasm: a gel-like substance in the nucleus where DNA replication and transcription occur.
Cellular Processes
- Active transport: the process that involves the movement of molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, against a gradient or an obstacle with the use of external energy.
- Exocytosis: the process where the cell discharges material out of the cell.
- Receptor-mediated endocytosis: a type of endocytosis that is more specific and involves the uptake of specific molecules bound to receptor proteins.
