| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| prokaryotic cells | circular DNA in nucleoid region, lack membrane organelles & nucleus |
| dehydration synthesis | builds large molecules from their smaller monomeric components |
| ATP | delivers energy to almost every reaction in a cell that requires energy in every organism |
| cell theory | all organisms consist of cells & come from cells |
| functions of protein | enzymes, structure, movement, & transport |
| sperm is the only human cell with | flagellum |
| disulfide bridges | strongest force that holds proteins in their proper shape |
| nucleus | location of most eukaryotic DNA |
| found in all cells | plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm & DNA |
| galileo galilei | father of ballistics & optics, improving telescope |
| disaccharide | when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides |
| chitin | exoskeleton of arthropods, provides structural support for cell walls |
| enzymatic proteins | selective acceleration of chemical reactions |
| defensive proteins | protection against diseases |
| storage proteins | storage of amino acids |
| transport proteins | transport of substances |
| hormonal proteins | coordination of an organisms activities |
| contractile & motor proteins | movement |
| receptor proteins | response of cell to chemical stimuli |
| structural proteins | support |
| hydrophobic interaction | weakest |
| disulfide bridge | strongest |
| A=T | C=G |
| SEM | 3D microscopic scans |
| TEM | 2D microscopic scans |
| cell fractionation | separate subcellular components & other subcellular components from one another |
| Singer & Nicholson 1973 | Fluid Mosaic Model |
| nucleus | contains DNA |
| nuclear pore | allows for passage of material, ribosomes, DNA & protein |
| nucleolus | to assemble ribosomes |
| ribosomes | protein synthesis |
| mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell (most of a cells ATP) uses oxygen to generate ATP |
| plasma membrane | boundary between inside & outside of the cell |
| flagellum | movement |
| cilia | movement |
| microvilli | increase surface area |
| lysosome | contains hydrolytic enzymes |
| golgi apparatus | packages material for export |
| endocytosis | brings material into the cell |
| exocytosis | sends material out of the cell |
| endosymbiont theory | eukaryotic cells engulfed a non photosynthetic prokaryotic cell that formed an endosymbiont relationship |
| selective permeability | allowing some substances to cross more easily than others |
| permeable | allows free passage of a substance |
| impermeable | does NOT allow free passage of a substance |
