Question
Answer
cell   structural unit of all living things  
cell theory (4)   1. structural unit of life 2. organism is dependent on its cells 3. principle of complementarity 4. continuity of life has a cellular basis  
principle of complementarity   cell activity is made possible by subcellular structures  
3 functions of plasma membrane   transporting things across membrane, interacting with other cells, generation and maintenance of a resting membrane potential  
fluid mosaic model   membrane is fluid bilayer of phospholipids and protein molecules  
integral proteins, function?   firmly inserted in lipid bilayer, transmembrane proteins  
glycolipids   externally facing lipid molecules attached to sugar groups  
peripheral proteins   not embedded in lipids, usually appended to exposed parts of integral proteins  
glycocalex   sticky area at cell surface  
microvilli   fingerlike extensions of plasma membrane that project from cell surface  
tight junctions, how permeable?   protein molecules in adjacent cell membranes fuse together like a zipper, impermeable  
desmosomes, held together by what?   mechanical couplings along the sides of adjacent cells to prevent their separation, held together by glycoprotein filaments  
gap junctions function?   to allow direct passage of substances between cels  
by what are cells connected in gap junctions?   connexons (transmembrane proteins)  
interstitial fluid   extracellular fluid constantly bathing our cells  
selectively permeable   allows some substances to pass through but not all  
diffusion   tendency of molecules or ions to scatter themselves evenly throughout an environment  
concentration gradient   molecules diffuse down this, from greater to lower  
osmosis   diffusion of water  
osmolarity   the total concentration of all solute particles in a solution  
hydrostatic pressure   pressure exerted by water against the membrane  
osmotic pressure   tendency to resist further water entry  
tonicity   ability of a solution to change the shape of cells by altering their internal water volume  
isotonic   normal  
hypertonic leads to   crenation  
hypotonic leads to   lyse  
facilitated diffusion   protein carrier molecules allow particles to pass membrane  
filtration   process by which water and solutes are forced through a body membrane by the hydrostatic pressure of blood  
active transport (solute pumping)   requires ATP  
passive transport   run by kinetic energy  
solute pumps   mediate active transport against thr concentration gradient  
K+   intracellular  
Na+   extracellular  
sodium-potassium ATPase   an ATP driven sodium-potassium pump that simultaneously moves both ions across membrane  
2 types of bulk transport   exocytosis, endocytosis  
exocytosis   substances are moved from interior to exterior  
endocytosis   substances are moved into the cell  
3 types of endocytosis   phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis  
phagocytosis   cell eats solid material  
phagosome   membranous sac containing solid material eaten by cell  
amoeboid motion   the flowing of cytoplasm into temporary pseudopods  
pinocytosis   cell drinking  
receptor mediated endocytosis   receptors on membrane only bind with certain molecules  
clathrin   coats the receptor mediated endocytosis  
membrane potential   voltage  
cell's resting membrane potential?   -20 to -200 millivolts  
all cells are said to be ______   polarized (cell is negative compared to environment)  
cytosol   viscous fluid of the cytoplasm  
inclusions   non functioning units inside the cell (ex: fat, glycogen granules)  
2 functions of mitochondria   site of ATP synthase, powerhouse of cell  
1 function of ribosomes   sites of protein synthesis  
2 functions of rough ER   proteins are bound in vesicles for transport to golgi, external synthesizes phospholipids and cholesterol  
smooth ER is site of 3 things?   lipid/steroid synthesis, lipid metabolism, drug detoxification  
1 function of lysosomes   site of intracellular digestion  
1 function of peroxisomes   enzymes detoxify toxic substances  
microfilaments, size and made of?   fine filaments, protein actin  
intermediate filaments, what kind of fibers and composition?   protein fibers, composition varies  
microtubules structure & made of?   cylindrical structures made of tubulin proteins  
2 functions of centrioles   forms mitotic spindle and asters, bases of cillia and flagella  
1 function of cillia   movement  
1 function of flagella   movement  
3 functions of nucleus   control center, transmits genetic information, provides instruction for protein synthesis  
1 function of nucleoli   site of ribosome manufacture  
2 functions of nuclear membrane   separates nucleoplasm from cytoplasm, regulates passage of substances to and from nucleus  
1 function of chromatin, composed of 2 things?   DNA constitutes the genes, DNA and histone proteins  
secretory vesicles   discharge by exocytosis  
basal bodies   centrioles forming the bases of cillia and flagella  
nucleoplasm   colloidal fluid that holds chromatin and nucleoli  
nucleosomes   spherical clusters of 8 histones connected by a DNA molecule  
4 cell life cycle stages?   G1 - S - G2 - Mitosis  
G1 (growth 1)   rapid growth and metabolic activity  
which 3 cell life cycles are interphase?   G1 - S - G2  
interphase is...   total period from cell formation to cell division  
S (synthetic)   growth and DNA replication  
G2 (growth 2)   enzymes and proteins needed for division are synthesized and moved to their positions  
semiconservative replication (3 things)   2 DNA molecules are formed, are original to the original DNA helix, and each contains 1 new and 1 old nucleotide strand  
order of M phase (5 steps)   prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase - cytokinesis  
mitosis   parcel out replicated DNA of mother cell into 2 daughter cells  
cleavage furrow, 2 types of microfilaments   during cytokinesis, actin and myosin  
benign neoplasm   local tumor  
malignant neoplasms   cancerous cells  
metastasis   ability to break from mother tumor and travel to other body organs  
early prophase (1)   chromatin threads become chromosomes  
late prophase (3)   mitotic spindle forms, spindle attaches to kinetochores, nuclear membrane dissolves  
metaphase (1)   chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate  
anaphase (2)   centromeres are split, chromosomes split  
telophase (3)   chromosomes go back to threadlike chromatin, nuclear membranes form, mitotic spindle dissolves  
triplet   a "word" that specifies a specific amino acid  
genetic code   rules by which base sequence of a DNA gene are translated into protein structure  
protein structure =   amino acid sequence  
rRNA   forms part of the ribosomes  
mRNA (3 steps)   forms "half DNA molecules" (codons), leaves nucleus and attaches to ribosome, translation begins  
tRNA (3 steps)   becomes aminoacyl-tRNA, bonds via anticodon to mRNA codon sequence on ribosome, is released and ready to be recharged  
transcription occurs...   inside nucleus  
translation occurs...   cytoplasm  
codon   corresponding 3 base sequence on mRNA to a triplet  
transcription   transfer of info from DNA to mRNA  
translation   base sequences are translated into amino acid sequences  
anticodon   3 base sequence on tRNA complementary to mRNA codon  
hyperplasia   accelerated growth  
atrophy   a decrease in size of an organ or body tissue
