Study Notes
Cellular Biology
- Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.
- Cells can be thought of as tiny rooms that contain all the components necessary for life.
Active Transport
- Active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
- This process requires energy, usually in the form of ATP.
- Active transport is necessary for cells to maintain proper internal environments and to regulate the concentration of certain molecules.
Cilia
- Cilia are small, hair-like structures that protrude from the surface of cells.
- Cilia are involved in movement, sensing, and signaling.
- They can be found in many types of cells, including epithelial cells, nerve cells, and sperm cells.
Cytoplasm
- Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside a cell membrane.
- It is composed of water, salts, sugars, and various organelles.
- Cytoplasm provides a medium for chemical reactions, supports cell division, and helps maintain cell shape.
Diffusion
- Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
- This process occurs naturally, without the need for energy input.
- Diffusion helps to distribute nutrients, oxygen, and other essential molecules throughout the cell.
