characteristics of a phospholipids

Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic. The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic. Since the tails are hydrophobic, they face the inside, away from the water and meet in the inner region of the membrane. Since the heads are hydrophilic, they face outward and are attracted to the intracellular and extracellular fluid. If phospholipids are placed in water, they form into micelles, which are lipid molecules that arrange themselves in a spherical form in aqueous solutions.

plant vs. animal cell how plants maintain their shape

Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Differences and similarities of Eukaryote and Prokaryote

Prokaryotes are always unicellular, while eukaryotes are often multi-celled organisms. Additionally, eukaryotic cells are more than 100 to 10,000 times larger than prokaryotic cells and are much more complex. The DNA in eukaryotes is stored within the nucleus, while DNA is stored in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but a eukaryotic cell is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell, has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane), and has other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions.

What organelles can be found in one but not the other?

Prokaryotic cells are simple cells that lack membrane-bound nuclei and complex organelles. Endoplasmic reticulum, microtubules, and the Golgi apparatus are unique to eukaryotic cells, and will not be found in prokaryotes.

What organelles are found in both eukaryote and Prokaryote

Prokaryotic cells lack true nucleus as well as membrane bound organelles. Nucleus and membrane bound organelles are present only in eukaryotic cells. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the golgi complex, lysosomes, mitochondria, microbodies and vacuoles, etc. are membrane bound organelles which are present in eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles found in both eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic cells.

diffusion transport

Rates of Diffusion - Depend on steepness (size of droplet) of concentration gradient = Bigger steepness, bigger rate. b. Temperature - Higher temp. higher rate. c. Distance - decrease the rate d. Mass - Decrease rate e. Surface Area - Increase rate

ribosomes

Ribosomes are found 'free' in the cell cytoplasm and also attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes receive information from the cell nucleus and construction materials from the cytoplasm. Ribosomes translate information encoded in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA).

Ribosomes are organelles made up of two different subunits that use amino acids to produce proteins for the cell.Lysosomes, which digest excess or worn out cell parts, are spheres made of a lipid bilayer.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum does not have ribosomes on its membrane. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum possesses ribosomes attached to its membrane.a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. that extends from the nuclear membrane throughout the cytoplasm (

Hydrophobic vs hydrophilic

Something defined as hydrophilic is actually attracted to water, while something that is hydrophobic resists water. This means when hydrophobic items come in contact with liquids, water is encouraged to bead up and roll off the surface- almost pushing it away like a magnet pushes away metal objects.
