Cards

Term
Cells
Definition
-Building blocks of plants and animals
-come from pre-existing cells
-smallest unit that performs all physiological function
Term
3 Major Parts
Definition
nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm
Term
Cell Membrane/plasma membrane
Definition
Fluid Mosaic Model: phospholipid bilayer and protein
-molecules that are soluble in the lipid membrane can pass through easily
-impermeable to water-soluable molecules like: sugar, protein, amino acids
-covers and protects, controls in and out, links to other cells, tells others what it is
Term
receptor proteins
Definition
alters function
Term
carrier or transporter protein
Definition
carries substance across membrane
Term
channel protein
Definition
allows ions to move through
Term
glycoproteins
Definition
identify
Term
enzymes
Definition
catalyze reactions
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
non-membranous
cytosol, site of chemical reactions, energy released by reactions to provide cell maintenance and growth
formed by cytoskeleton
-microfilament: actin, provide mechanical strength
-intermediate filament: cell shape and stability
-microtubule: tubulin, provides strength, stability, anchoring organelles, cilia, flagella, centrioles, spindle bibers
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
membranous
Rough ER: protein synthesis, connected to nuclear envelope
Smooth: Lipid synthesis, steriod synthesis, storage of glycogen and calcium, detox of drugs
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
membranous sacs called cisternae, modify and package proteins
Term
mitochondria
Definition
membranous, ATP, powerhouse of the cell, metabolic processes
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
membranous garbage disposals, digestive enzymes, form from golgi apparatus
Term
Peroxisomes
Definition
membranous
enzymes (peroxidase) and catalase
detoxify toxic substances, found in liver
Term
centrosomes
Definition
centrioles (microtubules) near nucleus, 2 centrioles and pericentriolar material
Term
cilia and flagella
Definition
non0membranous
microtubules
Term
vescicles
Definition
transport, small sac formed by budding off from a membrane
Term
cell nucleus
Definition
nuclear envelope, separates from cytoplasm
Term
necleolus
Definition
ribosome synthesis, chromatin, chromosome (DNA proteins) histones
Term
Transcription
Definition
Nucleus, copy DNA to RNA on ribosomes
Term
Translation
Definition
cytoplasm, ribosomes read transfer to amino acids
Term
RNA processing
Definition
introns, exons
Term
Membrane transport
Definition
Passive: diffusion, favilitated diffusion, osmosis (moves across the cell without using energy)
Active: ATP (moves against concentration gradient) vesicles
Term
Phagocytosis
Definition
endocytosis, exocytosis, receptor mediated endocytosis (cell eating, takes in solids)
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
inside a cell
Term
exocytosis
Definition
outside a cell
Term
Pinocytosis
Definition
cell drinking
Term
Cell Cycle
Definition
Interphase, Mitosis
Term
Interphase
Definition
Cell gets ready for division,
Term
Mitosis
Definition
PMAT,
prophase: Chromatin fibers change into chromosomes
Metaphase: microtubules align at metaphase plate, center
Anaphase: pairs split and move to opposite sides and become chromosomes
Telephase: 2 nuclei formed, 2 sets of chromosomes in chromatin form
