Cell Theory (section 3.1)
1. Know the 3 parts of the cell theory and the scientists that contributed to it.
Cell Organelles (section 3.2)
1. able to describe the internal structure of eukaryotic cells.
2. Summarize the functions of organelles in plant and animal cells.
3. Know how organelles can work together as a system. For example, ribosomes are made in the nucleolus,
they exit through the pores in the nucleus and are found in the RER. Ribosomes are the site of protein
synthesis, where amino acids are linked to form protein (by peptide bonds). Proteins then travel to the golgi
body, where they are sorted and packaged into vesicles to be transported out of the cell membrane.
Cell Membrane (section 3.3)
1. Know the cell membrane and the components that make it up.
2. Be able to describe the structure of the membrane, using terms such as polarity, hydrophobic, and
hydrophilic.
3. Be able to properly draw and label the fluid mosaic model.
4. Know the difference between and intracellular receptor and a membrane receptor.
5. How are chemical signals sent or received?
Diffusion and Osmosis (section 3.4)
1. Why do materials move across a membrane?
2. Describe passive transport.
3. Distinguish between osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion. Also, know why these are considered to
be passive transport.
4. Explain what a concentration gradient is.
5. Know the 3 types of solutions, and how a cell is affected by each.
Active Transport, Endosytosis, and Exocytosis (section 3.5)
1. Describe active transport.
2. Distinguish among endocytosis (phagosytosis & pinocytosis) and exocytosis.
3. What must be used to transport materials that cannot diffuse across the membrane (this is the major
difference between active and passive transport).
