  54. 54. Explain why active metabolizing cells need to be relatively small.
    54. Cells need to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active because relative to its volume its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface area (relative to its volume) this allows the metabolic processes to occur faster. Metabolic processes such as transportation of wastes across the membrane and diffusion can all occur at a faster rate.
  55. three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
    • 1) Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller than eukaryotic cells. Most are between 1-10 μm (micrometers) in size (about 1/30,000 of an inch); therefore, they are just visible with the light microscope.
    • 2) The DNA of a prokaryotic cell is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane (prokaryotic means “before the nucleus”).
    • 3) Prokaryotic cells do not contain many of the internal membrane-bounded organelles of eukaryotic cells.

    extracellular matrix contains collagen fibers, found in human/animal cells.
  68. Describe aerobic respiration and the purpose of ATP production.
    • 57. converting the chemical energy found in food into ATP. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. ATP is a high-energy molecule that provides energy for the cell. This process is called aerobic cellular respiration. During cellular respiration oxygen is required to break down food in the form of glucose 
    • 7.Eukaryotic cells require mitochondria to convert the chemical energy found in food (glucose) into ATP. This process is called aerobic respiration. During cellular respiration oxygen is required to break down food. Carbon dioxide, water and ATP are produced.
  69. Explain what happens in Tay-Sachs disease.
    One of the normally present digestive enzymes inside lysosomes is lacking. Thus, a toxic lipid in the brain cells cannot be broken down. The resulting buildup of lipids in these cells can cause intellectual disability and death.

    eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells - recognize the three main differences between them (size, organelles and membranes).
    • 1) Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller than eukaryotic cells. Most are between 1-10 μm (micrometers) in size (about 1/30,000 of an inch); therefore, they are just visible with the light microscope.
    • 2) The DNA of a prokaryotic cell is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane (prokaryotic means “before the nucleus”).

  74. Define the following terms:
    active transport
    active transport- particles moving across the cell membrane. molecules or ions are pumped from an area of lower concentration to one of greater concentration (against the concentration gradient)
  75. Define the following terms: endocytosis
    when a biomacromolecule outside of the cell is enclosed in an invagination of the cell membrane, forming a vesicle inside the cell (endo- refers to “bringing in”). Endocytosis includes three specialized transportation methods: 1) phagocytosis, 2) pinocytosis, and 3) receptor-mediated endocytosis). see figure 1.56
  76. Define the following terms: proteins in relation to a cell membrane
    proteins- are embedded within the cell membrane, they move around the within the cell  membrane and their are different types (integral and transport)
  77. Define the following: isotonic
    isotonic- having an equal amount of solute on either side of a membrane.
  78. Define the following: 
    hypertonic
    hypertonic- cell will lose water and shrink in size. the hypertonic solution contains more solute particles than the cell and, has a lower  water concentration
  79. Define the following: 
    hypotonic
    hypotonic- solute particles outside of a cell are of lesser concentration than inside the cell. causes the water to move inward
  80. cholesterol- describe how it helps to stabilize the cell membrane.
    cholesterol- some membranes contain cholesterol to stabilize the cell from varying temperatures (hot and cold). hydrophobic, single polar hydroxyl group
  81. Understand the importance of membranes in being able to separate or confine molecules.
    the unique arrangement of lipids and proteins in each face is responsible for the selective permeability of the membrane, allowing certain materials to pass in only one direction—nutrients move into the cell and wastes move out of the cell 

    Not sure if this is the right answer
  82. Know what is “fluid” about a membrane.
    fluid-mosaic model (Figure 1.52) of membrane structure was introduced, which proposes that the membrane is a phospholipid bi-layer in which proteins are either partially or entirely embedded, like tiles in a mosaic picture. This mosaic pattern is not static because the positions of the proteins and phospholipids are "fluid" and can move around within the membrane. The figure below shows the structure of the cell membrane. positions of phospholipids are fluid, 
  83. know how proteins are used in diffusion

    module 1 section 1.4
    peripheral protein found on inner surface or just on the outer surface (do not come all the way through

    integral proteins go through the entire membrane can weave through it too
  84. know how proteins are used in active transport
    Active transport occurs when molecules or ions are pumped from an area of lower concentration to one of greater concentration (against the concentration gradient). Because the molecules do not naturally want to move in this direction, both carrier proteins and additional energy are required. One example of active transport is the sodium-potassium pump (Figure 1.55), which maintains an electrical imbalance across the membrane. This pump is extremely important in cell life. Ions, because of their polar nature, require carrier proteins to cross the membrane. 
  85. know how proteins are used in the extracellular matrix
    • This is a google/AI answer 
    • Proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) primarily function as structural components, providing a scaffold for tissue architecture, anchoring cells, and regulating cellular behavior by acting as ligands for cell surface receptors, thereby influencing cell signaling, differentiation, migration, and adhesion; key ECM proteins include collagen (for strength), elastin (for elasticity), fibronectin, and laminin, which all interact with cells through specific receptors like integrin
  86. facilitated diffusion
    if solute cannot dissolve in lipids, integral proteins are used to pass through the membrane
  87. what biomolecules cannot transport across cell membranes by carrier proteins
    polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids, because of their extremely large size, cannot be transported across cell membranes by carrier proteins and require special transport methods.
