AP Biology Insta-Review - Unit 2: Cell Structure and Function

These flashcards cover key concepts from the AP Biology Unit on Cell Structure and Function, focusing on cellular organelles and membrane transport.

The __ is the site of membrane-bound protein and secreted protein synthesis.

Rough ER

The function of the __ is to store genetic information (DNA) and synthesize RNA.

Nucleus

The __ is composed of flattened sacs and is responsible for folding and chemical modification of synthesized proteins.

Golgi Complex

The __ is the site of oxidative phosphorylation and the Krebs Cycle.

Mitochondria

__ are membrane-enclosed sacs containing hydrolytic enzymes used for intracellular digestion and recycling cell materials.

Lysosomes

__ is the process that describes the import of materials through cellular eating.

Phagocytosis

Water moves by osmosis from a solution to a solution.

hypotonic; hypertonic

The __ is a passive transport method that involves the movement of small, nonpolar molecules across the plasma membrane without the need for a transport protein.

Simple Diffusion

The __ stores water, macromolecules, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Vacuole

The main components of the __ are phospholipids, membrane proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and cholesterol.
