3. facilitated diffusion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- movement of substances from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.
|
|
|
Term
decribe facilitaed diffusion |
|
Definition
- when the substances are insoluble thery can pass trhough the cell using carrier protiens. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
special case of diffusion involving water
goes throught he layer using aquaporins.
goes from high to low concentration. |
|
|
Term
list 3 ways substances can go through cells USING ENERGY. |
|
Definition
1. Active transport
2. Endocytosis
3. Exocytosis
|
|
|
Term
Describe Active Transport |
|
Definition
- pass from regions of low concentration to high concentraion.- against gradient
- consumes a lot of energy.
- sometimes protiens are involved, but always use ATP.- the proteins and ATP are coupled. |
|
|
Term
Describe the different types of endocytosis. |
|
Definition
endocytosis- push part of the substance into a vesicle and the moves the the membrane and makes lets it go forming an intracellular vesicle.
1. Phagocytosis- engulfs particles such as bacteria.- releass superoxide that kills the bacteria. then fuses with lysosomes to form phagocytosis.
2. receptor- mediated endocytosis- membrance contains protiens that act as receptors for foreign molecules. pinch to the foreigners and then make an intracellular vesicle.
3. pinocytosis- enclose the substance into a tiny droplet. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- packages something in the cell into a vesicle, then fuses with the membrane and releases contents |

|
|
|
Term
what is differentiation, and gene expression? |

differentiation- when a cell decides what "path" it wants to take and begins to grow into that specialized cell.
gene expression- what the cell turns out to be- genetically. like what features it has, and stuff. (?)- CHECK THIS. |
|
|
Term
describe a tumor suppressor gene. describe a proto-oncogene. |
|
Definition
tumor suppressor gene- INACTIVATION/LOSS of this gene- CAUSES CANCER.- there is one, if a 2nd one is inactivated= cancer.
proto-oncogene- ACTIVATION of this gene-CAUSES CANCER. |
|
|
Term
how do tumor suppressor genes work? |
|
Definition

- arrest cell division- usually in G1 phase.
- cell time for DNA to repair DNA.
- correct errors from replication.
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- during embryotic development- unwanted populations- selectively killed.
- cancer- from failure of apoptosis.
- or abnormal apoptosis- mutations.
DURING:
- cell shrinks and rounds up
- DNA break, chromatin condenses.
- nucleus breaks-- condensed chromatin.
- cell "blebs" developed on surface, break into membrane bound vesicles.
- eaten by macrophages.
- use caspases-- mitochondria plays key role in this.
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- proteases
- break down cellular proteins, activate enzumes to break down DNA.
- fragments into large vesicles- eaten by macrophages-- prevent inflammation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- diff from apoptosis--> ACCIDENTAL cell death.
- suffer from severe damage and sudden injury.
steps:
- cell and mitochondria change shape- swell and lose function.
- membrane breaks down
- cells and organelles undergo lysis.
- substances released- cause inflammation. |
|
|
Term
describe nuclear transfer cloning. |
|
Definition
- oocyte taken- nucleus removed. (enucleated)

|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1. makes them have specific traits we want
