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 |
