What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the process by which molecules or particles spread from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, resulting in a more even distribution. It plays a crucial role in various biological, chemical, and physical phenomena.
This process is passive which means that there is no intentional movement. The molecules randomly move and bump into each other, which results in them spreading and is called the net- movement. It also requires no energy.
What are the 5 Factors that affect diffusion?
1.Concentration gradient
2.Temperature
3.Surface area
4.the distance moved
5.barrier
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion where water molecules move through a semipermeable barrier like a cell membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
What are the three forms of plasmolysis?
Hypertonic: the outside solute concentration is higher than the solute concentration on the inside of a cell resulting in the shrinking of the cell by losing all of its water.
Isotonic: the outside solute concentration is the same as the solute concentration of the inside of a cell resulting in the cell staying in it’s normal size.
Hypotonic: the outside solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration of the inside of a cell resulting in the cell expanding over it’s natural size by absorbing more water
Name the mayor difference between animal and plant cells.
The mayor differences include the presence of a cell wall, chloroplast and a large central vacuole in plant cells while animal cells lack in al these structures.
Name all parts of an animal cell.
Cell membrane: outer boundary of the cell that regulates what enters and exits the cell
Nucleus: contains the genetic material (DNA) and controls certain cell activities
rough endoplasmatic reticulum: involved in the synthesis of proteins and phospholipids
mitochondrion: the power house of the cells, restaurant for the metabolism of the cell
Lyosome: contain and transport enzymes that break down waste
Vacuole: storage
Centrioles: take part in cell division
Golgi apparatus: Modifies, stores and packages proteins, also tags them so they reach their destination
Ribosome: protein Synthesis
Cytoplasm: a fluid made out of water and solute inside the cell that also contains al the structures
Name all parts of a plat cell.
Cell wall: semi-rigid outer layer that provides structural support
Cytoplasm: a fluid made out of water and solute that also contains al the structures
Chloroplasts: site of photosynthesis, contain chlorophyll
Large central Vakuole: stores water, nutrients and waste
Golgi apparatus: Processes and packendes substances
Ribosome: protein synthesis
Nucleus : contains the genetic material (DNA) and controls centain activities
Endoplasmatic reticulum: involved in synthesis of molecules
Mitochondrion: power house of the cell
Plasma membrane
Starch granole: carbohydrates storage
Name the parts from which the cell membrane consist of
Phospholipid bilayer: they form the basic strucal framework with hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads, creating a semipermeable barrier
Gylcolipids: play a role in cell signaling and recognition
Cholesterol: regulate the membrane constancy
Channel protein: enable the facilitated diffusion of water soluble molecules through the membrane
Carrier protein:permit the passage of specific molecules by active transport
Integral proteins: span the membrane and are involved in transportation of molecules across the membrane
Glycoproteins: crucial in cell signaling, Immun response and cell recognition
