cell structure
chapter 1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
endosymbiosis theory | |
plasma membrane | semi-permeable barrier of the cell |
sodium-potassium pump | established resting membrane potential, maintains fluid volume, ATP required |
mitochondria | produces energy for the cell- converts nutrients to ATP |
34 | net yield of ATP for aerobic metabolism |
2 | net yield of ATP for anaerobic metabolism |
lysosomes | contain digestive enzymes |
autolysis | lysosomes release enzymes to destroy cell--> cell death |
heterolysis | lysosomes digest foreign material |
proeasomes | degrade proteins and polypeptide chains |
peroxisomes | break down free radicals and long chain fatty acids |
adrenoleukodystrophy | dysfunctional peroxisomes, long chain fatty acids accumulate in nervous system |
endoplasmic reticulum | acts as a transport system |
smooth ER | transports lipids |
rough ER | transports proteins |
ribosomes | protein "factories" |
golgi apparatus | processes, packages, and secretes proteins |
secretory vesicles | contain substances to be secreted by the cell |
microtubules | hollow filaments, help with cell division, intracellular transport |
microfilaments | solid, flexible fibers that help with cell movement, found in muscle cells |
nucleus | contains genetic material- DNA |
transcription | turns DNA into messenger RNA |
translation | mRNA converted to amino acid sequence and becomes tRNA |
