Question | Answer |
---|---|
single cell organisms without nucleus | prokaryote |
multicellular organisms | eukaryotes |
bacteria is a | prokaryote |
protozoa are | prokaryotes |
outermost layer of a mammalian cell | cell membrane |
surrounds the nucleus | nuclear membrane |
barrier between the environment and cytoplasm | cell membrane |
governs movement of atoms and molecules in and out of cells | cell membrane |
another name for two layers of phospholipid molecules | lipid bilayer |
fatty acid tails are located | inside |
fatty acid tails are hydro phobic or philic? | hydrophobic |
heads are hydro phobic or philic | hydrophilic |
suspends proteins, constantly changing | fluid mosaic |
lipid soluble materials pass through the membrane with EASE or DIFFICULTY | ease |
proteins that span the width of the membrane | integral |
membranes bound to one side or the other of the membrane | peripheral |
glycocalyx is made of what? | glycoproteins and glycolipids |
glycoproteins job is to | enance cell to cell adhesion |
glycolipids job is to | signal other cells via ligand binding |
cilia and flagella originate from | basal bodies |
move in waves, propel fluid, mucus and debris | cilia |
attached to individual cells to propel cell forward | flagella |
give support to the cell | cytoskeleton |
cytoskeleton is composed of | microtubules intermeidate fibers, microfilaments |
list 8 organelles | mitochondria, ribosomes, smooth ER, rough ER, golgi, lysosome, peroxisome, includions, centrioles |
powerhouse of the cell, creates energy | mitochondria |
site of protein synthesis for intracellular and extracellular use | ribosomes |
has ribosomes on the surface | rough ER |
involved in protein production | rough ER |
involved in lipid production and storage | smooth ER |
ER is continuous with what 2 things? | nuclear membrane and golgi |
responsible for modification, packaging and storage of molecules | golgi |
formed by golgi, breakdowns nutrients for use | lysosomes |
contain enzymes for detoxification | peroxisomes |
convert free radicals to hydrogen peroxide | peroxidase |
convert hydrogen peroide to water | catalase |
engulfed metabolic stubstances | inclusions |
found in pairs, form bases of cilia & flagella, help organize spindle fibers | centrioles |
maintains heredity information and controls cell activity | nucleus |
4 parts of the nucleus | nuclear envelope, nuceloplasm, chromatin,nucleolus, |
contains nuclear pores | nuclear envelope |
made up of DNA and histones | chromatin |
location where ribosomal subunits are made | nucleolus |
genetic material | DNA |
intracellular | inside the cell |
extracellular | outside the cell |
interstitial | between the cells |
acids and bases are types of | electrolytes/ions |
excretory processes that require energy | active |
excretory processes that do not require energy | passive |
movement of molecules from area of high concentration to low concentration | diffusion |
diffusion is dependent on what 3 things | molecule size, lipid solubility, molecular charge |
movement of molecules through membrae with assistance of integral/carrier proten | facilitated diffusion |
does facilitated diffusion require energy? | no |
movement of water through membrane from area of high water concentration to low water concentration | osmosis |
force of water moving from one side of the membrane to the other | osmotic pressure |
osmosis or diffusion requires a selective membrane? | osmosis |
same concentration as intracellular fluid | isotonic |
fluid is more concentrated than cytoplasm | hypertonic |
cytoplasm is more concentrated than fluid | hypotonic |
cells burst qhen put in | hypotonic solution |
cells crenate when put in | hypertonic soution |
requires energy to move material | active transport |
changes in distribution of charged particles on either side of a membrane | membrane potential |
two types of endocytosis | phagocytosis, pinocytosis |
cell engulfing solid material | phagocytosis |
cell engulfing liquid (cell drinking) | pinocytosis |
movement of material out of the cell via vesicles | exocytosis |
process of cell division | mitosis |
phase when cell is growing, maturing and differentiating | interphase |
period between cell divisions | interphase |
interphase has 3 stages, what are they | growth 1, synthetic, growth 2 |
when chromatin strands for chromosomes | prophase |
when nuclear envelope breaks down | prophase |
when chromosomes line up in center | metaphase |
when centromeres attach to spindle fibers | metaphase |
when chromatids are pulled apart | anaphase |
the thing that pulls the chromatids apart | spindle fibers |
where the cytoplasm constricts | metaphyseal plate |
when chromatin begins to unravel at the poles of the cell | telophase |
when the nuclear envelope appears | telophase |
the end of this phase is marked by cytokinesis | telophase |
process by which genetic information on DNA is copied to mRna | transcription |
process by which protein is created from mRNA | translation |
occur when there are errors in DNA replication | mutation |
anything causing a genetic mutation | mutagen |
