63) Explain how contractile vacuoles in protists and central vacuoles in plant cells aid in the osmoregulation of cells. 64) Explain how osmoregulation maintains water balance and allows organisms to control their internal solute composition/water potential. 65) Describe the processes that allow ions and other molecules to move across membranes. 66) Explain how membranes and membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells compartmentalize intracellular metabolic processes and specific enzymatic reactions. 67) Explain how internal membranes facilitate cellular processes. 68) Explain how endosymbiosis resulted in the evolution of membrane-bound organelles. 69) Describe how prokaryotes compartmentalize cellular reactions without membrane-bound organelles. 70) Explain how internal membranes partition a eukaryotic cell into specialized regions. 71) Describe the relationship between the functions of endosymbiotic organelles and their free-living ancestral counterparts.

Step 1
Osmoregulation maintains water balance and allows organisms to control their internal solute composition/water potential by controlling the movement of water and solutes across the cell membrane. This is achieved through processes such as osmosis, diffusion, and Show more…

1. Which organelles are found in both plants and animal cells? 2. List the types of cell junctions found in animal tissues vs. those found in plant tissues. 3. State three ways that simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport across the cell membrane differ. (Make a table that includes up or down gradient, +/- energy need, and +/- carrier need) 4. Name three types of structural fibers that make up the cytoskeleton and their monomers. 5. Describe the Na/K electrochemical pump - what is the actual chemical gradient? What is the actual electrical gradient? 6. Describe two components and one function of the extracellular matrix. 7. Describe at least three types of proteins that are found in cell membranes and their function.
