  OBJECTIVES These are the major concepts to be learned in this unit.
  HOMEWORK

Homework questions intended to improve your knowledge before class.

printable form OUTLINE A detailed list of the information in this unit including the following parts.
 
PART A

Introduction to the cell

 
PART B
Nucleus, the control center
 
PART C
Cytoskeletal elements
 
PART D
Membrane systems are involved in transport and cell-to-cell communication (figure 3-10)
   
PART 1
Membranes are composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates
   
PART 2
Transport of particles is mainly through membranes
   
PART 3
Membranes are selectively permeable – some particles cross & others do not cross
   
PART 4
Concentration of solutions
   
PART 5
Passive transport processes do not require metabolic energy & include:
   
PART 6
Active transport processes do require metabolic energy & include:
   
PART 7
Ions distributed inside and outside a cell pose additional problems (figure 3-25)
   
PART 8
Cell-to-cell communication
   
PART 9
Other membrane functions
 
PART E
Metabolism is the total “chemistry” of a cell
