Eukaryotic Cell
Plant, animal, fungi …
Have a membrane bound nucleus and cell organelles. DNA arranged in chromosomes
1 of 11
Prokaryotic Cell
a single celled organism that has no membrane bound nucleus or other organelles
can be describes as either "gram positive" or "gram negative". This refers to the presence of a second cell membrane
2 of 11
Simple Diffusion
movement of small, lipid soluble molecules down a concentration gradient (high to low)
3 of 11
Facilitated Diffusion
movement of polar molecules and ions across the cell membrane
uses channel proteins (Na+, K+, Ca2+) and carrier proteins (glucose)
4 of 11
Osmosis
a special form of diffusion involving water molecules
movement occurs from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentrate) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration)
5 of 11
Pi
Phosphate ion
6 of 11
ATP
Adenosine Triposphate
7 of 11
ADP
Adenosine Diphosphate
8 of 11
Active Transport
movement of substances against their concentration gradient; from low to high concentration
9 of 11
Endocytosis
(Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis)
movement of longer molecules into a cell
10 of 11
Exocytosis
the removal of substances from a cell
