Chapter 3 Cells

The document outlines 21 questions about cell structures and their functions that are worth 100 points on a test. It asks the student to define key terms related to cell membranes and transport mechanisms. It also asks the student to describe the structure and functions of major cell organelles like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and lysosomes. Finally, it asks the student to explain processes like protein synthesis, mitosis, and the differences between cell transport mechanisms.

Write your answers in a yellow paper. Please answer concisely and write legibly!
You can draw illustrations to better discuss or express your answers. This is
worth 100pts.

1. Outline the major functions of the cell.


2. Define intracellular, extracellular, glycocalyx, lipid bilayer, hydrophilic, and
hydrophobic.
3. What is Fluid-mosaic model of the plasma membrane? Why is it called as
such?Explain.
4. Describe the four ways by which substances can move through the plasma
membrane.
5. Describe the factors that affect the rate and the direction of diffusion of a
solute in a solvent
6. Describe diffusion, osmosis, and filtration.
7. Describe the processes of facilitated diffusion, active transport, and
secondary active transport.
8. Describe endocytosis and exocytosis.
9. Define solute, solvent, and concentration gradient. Do solutes diffuse with or
against their concentration gradient?
10. Define osmosis and osmotic pressure. As the concentration of a solution
increases, what happens to its osmotic pressure and to the tendency for
water to move into it?
11. Compare isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
12. How do phagocytosis and pinocytosis differ from each other?

reticulum.
15. Describe the roles of the Golgi apparatuses and secretory vesicles in
secretion.
16. Explain the role of lysosomes and peroxisomes in digesting material taken
into cells by phagocytosis.
17. Describe the structure and function of mitochondria.
18. Describe the structure and function of centrioles.
19. Compare the structure and function of cilia, flagella, and microvilli.
20. Describe the process of protein synthesis.
21. Explain the stages of mitosis briefly.
22. Explain what is accomplished during mitosis.
