Document Summary

Cell theory: cells form the basic unit of life and all cells come from pre-existing, parental cells. Features of all cells: cytoplasm: watery solution that includes other cell structures (the matrix, ribosomes: composed of protein and rna; synthesize proteins, membranes: enclose cell contents; composed primarily of phospholipids and proteins. Receptor proteins in membranes bind to chemical messengers. Transmit signals to cytoplasm: transport of dissolved substances. Gases and some small molecules pass easily through membranes. Larger, charged molecules do not, unless they are transported by proteins: transport of larger or charged molecules. Specific for certain kinds of molecules and bind with these molecules to move them through the membrane. Membranes of plant root cells transport phosphate and nitrate from the soil into the cells: transport of water by osmosis (diffusion of water across cell membranes) Water moves into or out of the cell depending on: Concentration of dissolved substances (solutes) on both sides of the membrane.
