Study Notes
Cell Structure and Function, Biomolecules, Membrane Structure & Transport
- Cell Characteristics: Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in several key characteristics.
- Endosymbiotic Theory: Explain the significance of the endosymbiotic theory.
- Eukaryotic Organelles: Idenitfy major eukaryotic organelles and their functions from a figure.
- Organelle Function: Predict the organelle central to a particular cell type's function.
- Organelle Defects: Predict consequences of defective organelles on cells.
- Protein Export Pathway: Trace a protein's pathway from production to secretion.
- Common Cell Elements: Identify common elements in cells, and the four macromolecule classes with their monomers.
- Electronegativity and Bonds: Define electronegativity, and use difference in atom electronegativity values to classify bonds (polar covalent, nonpolar covalent, ionic).
- Molecule Behavior in Water: Predict molecule behavior (hydrophobic or hydrophilic) and explain why molecules with primarily nonpolar covalent or polar covalent bonds behave differently in water.
- Water Molecule and Bonds: Draw a water molecule, identify bonds within and between molecules.
- Bond Types: Contrast covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds.
- Phospholipid Structure and Behavior: Draw a phospholipid, identify polar/nonpolar regions, and describe how phospholipids behave in water.
- Cell Membrane Components: Draw a cell membrane and label its four primary components.
- Substance Permeability: Rank the ability of different substances (large vs. small, polar vs. nonpolar, charged vs. uncharged) to cross a phospholipid bilayer.
- Membrane Movement: Predict substance movement across membranes based on concentration gradients.
- Membrane Fluidity and Permeability: Contrast membrane fluidity and permeability of saturated vs. unsaturated phospholipid membranes.
- Cholesterol Effect: Predict how cholesterol addition alters membrane permeability.
- Solution Concentration: Determine relative concentrations of solute and water in hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions.
- Water Movement: Predict the direction of water movement in cells placed in different solutions (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic).
- Energy for Transport: Predict whether energy is needed to move substances with or against concentration gradients.
- Transport Proteins: Predict when transport proteins are needed, and contrast carrier, channel, and pump membrane proteins.
