A & P I Study Guide - Cells |
This page includes a detailed look at the structure and function of cells from the Study Guide. It includes the following parts: (1) objectives, (2) homework, knowledge to bring to class, (3) subject outline, and (4) activities. |
|
||||
| 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. | ||
Introduction to the cell |
||||
| Nucleus, the control center | ||||
| Cytoskeletal elements | ||||
| Membrane systems are involved in transport and cell-to-cell communication (figure 3-10) | ||||
| Membranes are composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates | ||||
| Transport of particles is mainly through membranes | ||||
| Membranes are selectively permeable – some particles cross & others do not cross | ||||
| Concentration of solutions | ||||
| Passive transport processes do not require metabolic energy & include: | ||||
| Active transport processes do require metabolic energy & include: | ||||
| Ions distributed inside and outside a cell pose additional problems (figure 3-25) | ||||
| Cell-to-cell communication | ||||
| Other membrane functions | ||||
| Metabolism is the total “chemistry” of a cell | ||||
| ACTIVITIES | Activities can be opened from this screen or the outline screens above. | |||
