A&P I : chapter 3

TermDefinition
cells are the _______ of all organisms (characteristics of life) building blocks *cells cannot survive on their own, but they work together to be self-sustaining to make organisms
all cells come from (characteristics of life) preexisting cells
cells are the ____ units that perform ______ physiological functions (characteristics of life) smallest, all vital
each cell maintains _____ at the cellular level (characteristics of life) homeostasis
what is a cell sacs of fluid reinforced by proteins and surrounded by membrane
Types of Cells sex (germ) cells: -reproductive cells -female oocytes & male sperm somatic cells: -all body cells -"soma" means body
prokaryotes no true nucleus and no organelles bacteria and archaea
eukaryotes do have a nucleus to hold genetic material and organelles plants, animals, algae, and fungi dna enclosed
Intracellular
Extracellular fluid Interstitial fluid - tissue (yard) Intravascular fluid - in vessels, plasma fluid of blood (road)
plasma membrane flexible, sturdy barrier that separates intracellular (inside) from extracellular (outside)
selectively permeable decides what to let in or let out based on water-soluble or lipid-soluble and polarity
functions of plasma membrane - physical barrier (barrier) -regulation of exchange (nutrients enter, wastes eliminated) -sensitivity (extracellular fluid composition) -structural support (anchors cells and tissues)
phospholipid bilayer 1. hydrophilic heads 2. hydrophobic fatty-acid tails -amphiphilic , both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties
two structural classes of membrane proteins -Integral Proteins within the membrane, transmembrane across the entire bilayer, inside and outside -Peripheral Proteins
*^ look back over that power point, chapter 3, and take notes
plasm infers it's thicker than water and has organelles in it
Inclusions in cell that's not really useful anymore , insoluble NONLIVING material in cells, just extra
cytosol different from extracellular fluid , K higher inside cell and Na lower Na outside, K inside high concentration of protein attract proteins to keep and not move around
cytoskeleton types of filaments 1. Microfilaments 2. Intermediate filaments 3. Microtubules - look like tubs
cytoskeleton structural proteins for shape and strength
microfilaments made of ACTIN - MOVEMENT mechanical strength increases surface area through microvilli
Intermediate filaments STRENGTH AND STABILIZATION rope like
microtubules Kinesin - Dynein MOTOR PROTEINS Cell Division change cell shape by moving road
retrograde backwards, up the axon then to the cell body DYNIEN
anterograde heading out towards the plus end KINESIN
centrioles surrounded by centrosomes that make microtubules, like organizing center
flagella whiplike extension of cell membrane only on sperm
cilia move fluids across top of membrane
ribosomes synthesize proteins small & large ribosomal subunits contains rRNA Fixed ribosomes are in ROUGH ER Free ribosomes in cytoplasm
proteasomes recycler for used protein remove and recycle damaged/abnormal cellular proteins Ubiquitin - expiration date on protein, marker to show its expired
Protein Journey through cell nucleous -- instructions to make it rough -- has ribosomes, making proteins golgi apparatus -- takes folded protein and ships it wherever it needs to do. vesicle is the package box
smooth ER functions - no ribosomes synthesizes: -phospholipids assembly and cholesterol - steroid hormones stores calcium and regulates concentration detoxifies alcohol and drugs
lysosomes trashcan of acid breaks up toxic stuff yellow
oxygen is the final plan in the electron transport chain
meiosis making a person "mini me" cut the number of chromosomes in half , haploid (23 chromosomes)
genetic recombination how you get new people, crossing over in prophase I chromosome sex
Diploid full set of chromosomes
Haploid number of chromosomes is reduced by half
Reduction Divison when you reduce the number of chromosomes cutting the number of chromosomes in half, end up with 23
plasma membrane is ____ selectively permeable always says no , impermeable always says yes, freely permeable choses , selectively permeable ALWAYS: O2, CO2, steroids and lipids
types of diffusion -Active , requires energy and ATP .. -Passive, no energy needed
Diffusion Down the concentration gradient, moving from an area of lots of stuff to less stuff until equalibrium the movement of stuff Osmosis is the movement of water
what can effect concentration gradient distance size temperature electrical forces
carrier medicated has to be carried across the membrane, sometimes requires energy, sometimes doesn't
sodium potassium exchange pump this is electricity they swap sides creating ATP
exocytosis secreting materials
facilitated diffusion needs a friend
simple diffusion can always come in

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
