A & P 2-3- Cell

QuestionAnswer
body’s level of organization o Atoms o Molecules o Larger molecules o Cells o Tissues o Organs o Organ systems o Organism
• Cytoplasmic membrane keeps the cell whole and intact • Allows certain substances to pass through and prevents others from entering
• Cytoplasm— the area where most cellular activity occurs The working and storage areas • Surrounds and supports organelles Medium thru which nutrients and waste move
• Nucleus— control center Directs cell activity and is necessary for reproduction The site of the genetic material, DNA
• Nucleolus— forms ribosomes
• Endoplasmic reticulum —transports material thru the cytoplasm
• Rough ER— contains the ribosomes where protein is synthesized
• Smooth ER— site of steroid synthesis
• Mitochondria— converts energy in nutrients to ATP (power plants of the cell)
• Golgi apparatus— packages protein with membrane Puts the finishing touches on protein
• Ribosome— site of protein synthesis
• Lysosomes— housekeeping within the cell Phagocytosis through powerful enzymes
• Cytoskeleton— provides for intracellular shape and support
• Centrioles— help separate the chromosomes during mitosis
• Cilia—surface create movement over the cell
• Flagella— create movement of cell (allow the sperm to swim)
CHARACTERISTICS OF CELLS Irritability—responds to stimuli Growth and reproduction—grows larger in size and continues the species
o
o Metabolism— chemical rxn consisting of:
• Anabolism— forming new substances to build new cell material
• Catabolism— breaking down substances into simpler substances and disposing of waste
o Contractibility— the ability to shorten
o Conductivity— the ability to txfr an electrical charge
• Passive transport mechanism Req no input of energy (ATP)
o Diffusion— causes a substance to move from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration
o Facilitated diffusion— is the same as diffusion but uses a helper molecule to increase the rate of diffusion
o Osmosis— is a special case of diffusion using a semi-permeable membrane
ACTIVE TRANSPORT Pumps move substances from an area of lower concentration to an area Of higher concentration
CELL CYCLE G1 S G2 M Phase- Mitotic MITOSIS- Cell division

EXOCYTOSIS
ENDOCYTOSIS
• MITOSIS- is the process of Cell Division Distributes identical ?Chromosome (DNA molecules) to each cell formed o Enables cells to reproduce their own kind
• MEIOSIS- Type of cell division used by the sex cells (Ovum & sperm) o With cell division the of chromosomes in each cells is reduced from 46-23 (half female, half male)

metabolism Series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of raw material
carbohydrates CHO
monosaccharides 3-6 Carbons. GLUCOSE (Most important energy source)/ FRUCTOSE(2 glucose)/ GALACTOSE (to glucose)/ DEOXYRIBOSE (DNA)/ RIBOSE (RNA)
Disaccharides Must be broken down(catabolism) to be digested SUCROSE MALTOSE LACTOSE
Polysaccharides STARCHES (Plant foods) GLYCOGEN (Animal starch-excess glucose in liver & skeletal muscle) CELLULOSE (Nondigestible by humans-Fiber in diet)
USES OF GLUCOSE 1- burned as fuel energy 2- stored as Glycogen then burned 3- stored as fat then burned at later time
ANAEROBIC CATABOLISM-GLYCOLOSIS Absence of O2. Glucose is broken down into PYRUVIC acid & LACTIC acid Small amt of ATP
AEROBIC CATABOLISM Glucose is broken down to from CO2,H2O & ATP Pyruvic acid is broken down in Cytoplasm then MITOCHONDRIA-Require O2 -(Results in CO2&H2O=stored Energy is released -If O2 is not present, Pyruvic acid cannot enter 2 Mitochondria
Sets of enzymes in Mitochondria Kreb's Cycle Electron transport Chain
LACTIC ACIDOSIS Lack of O2,Pyruvic acid cannot enter the mitochondria therefore is converted to LACTIC ACID; Build-up of L.A.
GLUCONEOGENESIS Making of GLUCOSE form non glucose sources, especially protein in the LIVER Mechanism in the regulation of blood sugar.
DIABETES lack of insulin for the glucose metabolism. Insulin helps transport glucose into cell.Lack of it causes glucose to be accumulated in the blood, not in the cells= Hyperglycemic
KREB’S CYCLE (MITOCHONDRIA) Sequence of enzymatic reactions involving metabolism of C chains of sugars, fatty acids,& amino acids to ⇒CO2,H2O and High energy Phosphate Bonds
LIPIDS= Fats & Oils source of energy & in the synthesis of membranes Fats solid @ room temp Oils Liquid @ room temp Building blocks of lipids are fatty acids & glycerol
PHOSPHOLIPIDS Important component of cell membrane
CITRIC ACID CYCLE (MITOCHONDRIA) Provides major source of ATP energy & also produces intermediate molecules=starting pts for a # of vital pathways including amino acid synthesis
TRIGLYCERIDES Protect & insulate body.Major source of stored energy
STEROIDS-CHOLESTEROL (Liver) Cholesterol- Synthesis of steroids Bile salts- Ca & P homeostasis Adrenal cortex- necessary for life Testes & ovaries Hormones- secretes sex hormones
LIPOID SUBSTANCES Fat soluble Vitamins (A,K,D,E) Prostaglandins- Cell membranes, smooth muscle contraction Lipoproteins- Transport fatty acids HDL-Good Cholesterol LDL- Bad cholesterol
PROTEINS Most hormones are proteins (Hemoglobin) Synthesis for physiological function. CAN BE BROKEN DOWN & used as source of energy for ATP but not ideal.
AMINO ACIDS Building blocks of proteins. 20 amino acids. CHON
NONESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS Amino acids that can be synthesized by the liver
PEPTIDE BOND NH2-Amine group joins with the acid COOH group
PEPTIDE several amino acids are joined POLYPEPTIDE-Many amino acids
GLYCOPROTEIN lipoprotein Sugar + Protein Lipid + Protein
PROTEINS IN CELL MEMBRANES Determine pore size Allow hormones to recognize cell
COLLAGEN Components of muscle & tendons
KERATIN Skin & hair
PEPTIDE HORMONES Insulin, Growth Hormones

ENZYMES Regulate chemical reactions
NITROGEN Either recycled & used to synthesized amino acids (Most of it is recycled) Or converted to Urea & excreted
UREA By the liver from Nitrogen. Then kidneys eliminate the Urine.
HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY Toxic effect of ammonia due to the rise of blood level (BUN- Lab test)
DNA-Nucleic Acid Code for the structure of a protein. Pattern of Amino acid assembly. Made of Sugar Phosphate molecules.
NUCLEOTIDES Nucleic Acid= Sugar,Phosphate group & base To form 2 long strands (double helix)

mRNA Messenger RNA= copies code from DNA in nucleus to Ribosomes in the Cytoplasm COPYCAT= cOPYING of CODE= Transcription
tRNA Transfer of RNA, "READ" the code on the ribosomes from mRNA then is assembled in the proper sequence as polypeptide protein is formed
PURINE ADENINE & GUANINE
PYRIMIDINES Cytosine Thymine Uracil

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS 1- DNA in the nucleus separate-copied onto mRNA 2- mRNA leaves nucleus and goes to RIBOSOMES 3- mRNA determines what amino acid can bind 4- Amino acids are lined up in sequencepeptide chain 5- Protein chain is terminated when amino acids have been a
TRANSLATION Reading (RECOGNITION) of mRNA code by tRNA.
