Cards

Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
inside of cell consists of all cellular contents between the nucleus and cell membrane
Term
Nucleus
Definition
largest organelle, control center, contains DNA, necessary for all cellular activities
Term
Plasma Membrane
Definition

barrier surrounding a cell controls what goes in and out of a cell

 

controls communication between cells

Term
Cytosol
Definition
jelly/liquid part of cytoplasm
Term
Double Lipid Bilayer
Definition
made out of phospholipids and proteins must tuck in tails, non polar tails and polar head, anything non polar can cross, and prevents all proplar molecules from moving through
Term
Cell identity Markers
Definition
anything without marker body attacks Glycoproteins and Glycolipids
Term
Cholestrol
Definition
provides structure and suppourt to the cell membrane
Term
Integral Proteins
Definition
span whole cell membrane, provides channels to allow specific molecules to cross the membrane. can be transporters or channels
Term
Peripheral proteins
Definition
float right on the surface, loosly attached to exterior,relay messafe to cell, can be receptors/enzymes
Term
selective permability
Definition
gases and non polar substances cross easily ions and polar molecules cannot cross
Term
Passive Transport
Definition
no energy required to cross, going down the [] gradient, diffusion and osmosis
Term
Diffusion Definition
Definition
passive process where substance moves down the concentration gradient
Term
Simple Diffusion
Definition
Oxgen, C02, nonpolat substances have no problem crossing membrane, squeeze through tails
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
polar molecules like gluclose need transporter to pass through
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Movement of water down the concentration gradient
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
not enough solute outside the cell. Water moves in.
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
too much solute outside. Water moves out
Term
Isotonic
Definition
Equal balance
Term
Cilia
Definition
hair like projections used to move substances in our out Ex: in fallopian tubes
Term
Flagella
Definition
tail like projection. Makes sperm mobile. Many bacteria also have
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
site of protein synthesis (free or bound)
Term
Free Ribosomes
Definition
make proteins for the cell/location cytoplasm
Term
Bound Ribosomes
Definition
makes proteins to export out of the cell /rough endoplasmic reticulum
Term
Rough Endoplasmic Retiuculm
Definition
has bound ribosomes attached to it, processes and sorts proteins, like the cellular post office
Term
Smooth ER
Definition
has no ribosomes, involves in syntheis of fatty acids and steroids (Liver cells have alot
Term
Golgi Complex-
Definition
close to the rough ER- look like a stack of pancakes sorts proteins Rough ER packages the proteins into vesicles modifies the proteins adds sugar: glycoprotein and lipid: lipoproteins
Term
excytosis
Definition
: leaving the cell in a vesicle
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
larger than vesicles, could contain enzymes necessary to break down specific molecules, could contain as many as 60 different digestive enzymes. break anything down to the building blocks
Term
autophagy
Definition
break down molecules to building blocks (think cell recycling, reuse proteins!)
Term
autolysis
Definition
the break down of the cells. how we start to die. lyosomes consume everyhing but bones after you die
Term
Peroxisomes
Definition
like lysosomes but smaller. oxidases enzyme, remove H atoms from molecules, detoxifies, break apart substances and send them to the liver.
Term
Proteasomes-
Definition
destroys faulty proteins
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
- site of ATP production
- in the process releases CO2 which we exhale (cellular respiration)- muscles have many
