Document Summary

Chapter 3 part a: structure and function of cells. All living things are composed of cells. A single cell is the smallest unit that can exhibit all the characteristics of life. All cells come only from preexisting cells. Muscle cells: contain numerous organelles providing energy needed for muscle contraction. Nerve cells: long and thin to carry impulses over distance. Small cells have a higher surface area: volume ratio. High surface: volume ratio makes better efficiency in acquisition of nutrients and disposal of wastes. Rna is single stranded in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Proteins: provide means of transport through membrane and info transfer. Carbohydrates: recognition patterns for cells & organisms, only on outside. Selectively permeable: permits some substances movement in and out of cell, but blocks most. Molecules cross the plasma membrane in several ways. Bulk transport: involves membranous vesicles to move larger substances. Movement from high concentration to low concentration (no energy required)
